Skye Michelle

The sky’s the limit for Skye Michelle, a tall blonde from Queensland, Australia. A veritable Jane of all trades, Skye has her hands full every day of the week – in addition to modeling and pole dancing careers, she’s a trained crane operator, capable of lifting over 100 tons at a time. She’s certainly lifted our spirits. “I’m a loud and proud type of girl,” she says in a charming Aussie accent. “I learn and grow every day to be the very best I can be!” Growing up in sunny Townsville, Skye barely ever took off her bikini – the climate is hot and humid year-round, and besides, she had plenty of outdoorsy hobbies to keep her busy. “There’s so much to do,” she says. “I’m an adventurous sort of girl, and I love to get dirty – I go 4WDing, fishing and love to hit the beach.” All those years in a swimsuit gave Skye the confidence she needed to become a model – and as for her pole dancing career, she’s pleased to report that it’s flourishing. “I usually work on the weekends,” she says. “I’m a professional, and I enter competitions all the time. I just love it with a passion!” At the time of her Playboy casting, Skye had just taken first place at Ms. Exxxotica, her first international pole dancing title – so needless to say, the svelte blonde had our undivided attention. “They asked me to send in a video audition, so I did, and boom – I was accepted,” she says. “I flew from Australia to Hollywood and shot my first pictorial! It was such a fun experience, I’m honored to have been asked and I’m proud to represent Playboy.” Speaking of poles, Skye Michelle deals in opposites – she’s motivated, driven to achieve her goals, and at the same time she’s a party girl who loves to rave all night long. “We have the best festivals in the world in Australia,” she says, grinning from ear to ear. “The atmosphere is amazing! I love to dance all day to my favorite bands and DJs.” As for her dance partner, Skye is looking for a guy who’ll treat her as a partner in crime, not just as a piece of arm candy. “I need someone who’s just as adventurous as me, who’ll challenge me to be the best,” she says. “I live fast and loud, and I love it!” The feeling is definitely mutual.
