Iryna Ivanova

Get down to business with Iryna Ivanova, our Playmate of the Month for August 2011. She’s all natural, with long black hair, brown eyes and a DD bust. Born in Feodosiya, Crimea – a Ukrainian port on the coast of the Black Sea – she moved to Tucson in her teens and enrolled in a BA program at the University of Arizona. She did a semester abroad, spending time in Athens and the Cyclades. “Mykonos is beautiful,” she says, “and it has the best parties.” Iryna is a very busy girl – she’s a PETA supporter, intern, MBA student, English-Russian interpreter, Cage Girl for the WFFMMA and, of course, a Playmate. When she’s not working, she loves to go shopping or hang out at home with her dogs. Iryna didn’t have to travel far to become a Playmate. “I had always wanted to be a Playboy model,” she says. “I had some pictures taken and I sent them to Playboy Studio West.” We took one look at her, poured into her clothes and spilling out the top, and knew we had to have her. “Just like that, I was Miss August,” she says. “Being a Playmate has changed my life – I had never modeled before, but now I get to travel, meet new people, hang out with Hef and party at the Mansion.” Iryna is balancing her studies and her Playmate duties – her dreams are to earn a DBA and model for the Ukrainian edition of Playboy, and we have a feeling they’ll come true.
