Raquel Gibson Bio 
Raquel Gibson is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born Raquel De Paula Gibson on June 14, 1985, in Clearwater, California. Playboy named her its November 2005 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.
Gibson has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-23-35.
Raquel Gibson came to Playboy with a varied background that already included modeling, culinary training and real estate. Before her centerfold, she had worked with the USA National Bikini Team and Fireball Models, giving her professional experience in promotional and swimwear modeling. At the same time, she earned a culinary degree from the Chef Jean Pierre Cooking School in Florida and obtained a real estate license, while also considering medical school and a future in pediatrics.
Playboy added a much larger platform to that mix of interests. After being selected as a Playmate, Gibson remained involved with the company through television, digital features and international editions. She appeared on The Girls Next Door and later joined Bridget Marquardt for a Miami segment of Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches, bringing her into the travel-and-lifestyle side of Playboy’s television programming.
Her relationship with Playboy continued beyond the original centerfold. Gibson returned as a Playmate Xtra for the Playboy Cyber Club in August 2007 and was featured in the Filipino edition of Playboy in May 2008. The latter appearance had particular personal resonance because of her Filipino family background and her ability to speak fluent Tagalog.
Modeling also became a family affair. Gibson worked alongside her older sister, model and actress C.J. Gibson, with the two appearing professionally as the Gibson Sisters. Raquel expanded her entertainment work into hosting and event appearances as well, while another recurring role placed her ringside as a UFC ring girl. Those assignments suited someone who was comfortable with promotional work but who described herself as considerably less interested in nightlife than her public image might suggest.
Family remained especially important to Gibson throughout her modeling years. She maintained strong ties to relatives in the Philippines and Japan, spoke some Japanese in addition to fluent Tagalog, and continued to live in the Tampa Bay area rather than making celebrity culture the center of her life. Her professional interests ultimately ranged from culinary arts and property work to international Playboy appearances, television, modeling with her sister and UFC events.
