Natasha Podkuyko

Meet Natasha Podkuyko, a Ukrainian-born stunner and our Cybergirl of the Month for August 2001. The once-redhead, now-brunette was dumbfounded when Playboy called her to give her the good news about her CGOM win. “I am very excited and honored,” says Natasha with her undeniably sexy accent. “I also feel different and stimulated. I feel really good about myself.” Miss Podkuyko and her long gams –she’s five feet, eleven inches tall – had Playboy fans feeling as excited and as stimulated as Natasha. Currently living in Brooklyn, Miss Podkuyko spends her days studying at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where she’s completing a degree in fashion. She hopes to one day open her own boutique. Natasha knows she would have to quit her modeling career to allow her fashion designer ambitions to flourish, but for the moment she doesn’t want to think about that. She’s enjoying the attention she’s been receiving as a Playboy model. We wish her the best and hope she doesn’t quit modeling anytime soon, because Playboy fans love her.
