This California real estate agent has always been comfy in the buff. “Posing for Playboy just lets me share it with the rest of the world!” Admittedly “obsessed” with Playboy, this American/Filipino Air Force brat has been dreaming of posing for as long as she can remember. “My growing-up awkward stage was longer than most, so I always wished to be seen as beautiful. Being a part of Playboy is a privilege and an honor.”

Be forewarned that she has very high standards — anyone who’s two-faced, smokes or drinks, or anyone who’s just plain stupid won’t make it past the initial introduction. She sets the bar high for herself, too. “Playboy was my first goal, but by the end of my career I want to be able to say I’ve done every type of modeling there is.”

Although she considers herself outgoing and energetic, Cassandra has always waited for men to approach her. Now she intends to be more socially proactive and turn the scouting tables. Any “tall, intelligent, funny, confident and genuine” guys out there should be on their guard.

She’s decisive about her career path — to provide low-cost therapy for children with cognitive disorders — but not so sure about her romantic future. Admitting she’s a bit fickle when it comes to men, this 21-year-old reserves the right to redefine the qualifications of her perfect match at any time.

She was once the quintessential tomboy — “You couldn’t get me in a dress.” — but now this 20-year-old, Vietnamese-American woman savors her girlie side.
