Julie Lynn Cialini

For such a tight body, Julie Lynn Cialini’s got a soft touch. Born in Rochester, upstate New York, Julie was raised with her two sisters by a single mother, and she learned to take some of the harder knocks with pride. “In high school, you were either somebody or you were nobody,” says Julie. “It brought me down because I was never part of the crowd.” At 5’11”, skinny Julie towered over her classmates, dominating on the basketball court – but deep down, she wanted to become a Playmate. “I was so gawky, I couldn’t imagine my dream ever coming true,” she says. “I started filling out after high school. At my five-year reunion, all eyes were on me!” If Julie loves to be the center of attention, she’s come to the right place – after a stint as our Miss February 1994, she became our gorgeous Playmate of the Year 1995. “I like to be the center of attention,” admits Julie. “It makes me feel good about myself. I’m not into making millions, but I wouldn’t mind having Cindy Crawford’s career.” We don’t know about Cindy, but being Julie Cialini sounds pretty good to us – our PMOY went on to become a presenter on The Price is Right and continues to model all over America. Though she’d love to settle down with the right man, Julie’s got a piece of advice for all potential suitors: Be yourself. “Don’t try to be a hotshot,” she says. “But definitely be hot!”
