Nicole Voss Bio
Nicole Voss is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on September 19, 1982, in Ocala, Florida. Playboy named her its August 2006 Playmate at 23. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.
Voss has natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 32-23-33.
Nicole Voss entered Playboy without an agency, professional portfolio or previous modeling job. After moving to Athens, Georgia, she decided to apply on her own, subscribed to the magazine for reference and studied its pictorials before photographing herself at home. Using a camera on a tripod with a self-timer, she recreated poses she had seen in Playboy and submitted the resulting photographs directly to the magazine.
Six months passed without a response, long enough for Voss to assume that her application had been unsuccessful. An unexpected email finally brought an invitation to California, where Playboy flew her to Santa Monica for a professional test shoot. The experience was particularly unusual because Playboy remained the only modeling job for which she had ever applied; a homemade submission had taken her directly from complete newcomer to a centerfold opportunity.
Voss’s decision surprised people who knew her well. She described herself as quiet and shy, making the confidence required to photograph and submit her own nude portfolio seem somewhat at odds with her everyday personality. Her family nevertheless supported the result, and her parents even bought copies of her Playboy issue as keepsakes, which Voss believed they had left unopened in their original wrapping.
Education remained part of her plans after the magazine. Voss intended to return to Georgia to complete her studies in psychology rather than assuming that Playboy would permanently redirect her professional future. At home, she preferred relatively solitary and creative pursuits, including cooking and sewing, and spent considerable time gardening and caring for her three dogs.
Voss’s route into Playboy stands out for its simplicity and independence. There was no beauty competition, modeling agency, celebrity referral or Playboy event behind her selection—only photographs she produced herself after studying the magazine and deciding to take a chance. Even the long silence after submitting them failed to predict the outcome: six months after believing Playboy had passed on her application, she was invited west for the test that secured her place in the magazine.
