Sasha Bonilova Bio
Sasha Bonilova is a Ukrainian model and Playboy Playmate, best known as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for May 2011. She was born on May 20, 1987, in Lutsk, Ukraine. Her zodiac sign is Taurus.
Her Playboy pictorial, titled “The Perfect Touch,” was photographed by Arny Freytag and built around an interior-design concept. The feature presented Sasha as Miss May in a bright studio setting, connecting her glamour image with design, color, creativity, and the idea of a model who knows how to transform a space.
According to her Playboy profile, Sasha grew up in western Ukraine, where she picked fruit from apple and cherry trees and spent childhood time with Transformers, dance, and guitar. She described herself as having been “a tomboy,” even while growing up with a strong interest in art, movement, and visual style.
Sasha later moved to Wisconsin at the age of 17 with her traditional family, then pursued interior design at the Chicago-based Harrington College of Design. Her profile emphasized her love of design and her broader curiosity about learning new things. She speaks Ukrainian, Russian, and English, and was described as proficient in Polish and German as well.
According to her official Playboy data sheet, Sasha Bonilova is 5’7” tall and was listed at 127 lbs, with measurements of 36DD-27-36. She has blond hair and blue eyes. In her own profile notes, Sasha described her ambition as becoming someone people look up to one day, adding that becoming Playmate of the Year would be a major dream.
Sasha’s data sheet gives her profile a thoughtful, artistic, and idealistic tone. She wrote that close-minded men were a turnoff, quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson on depth of life, and described the cast of Friends as her “first American pals” because she grew up watching the show in Ukrainian. These details fit the way Playboy framed her: not only as a model, but as a creative immigrant with a strong personal story.
Sasha Bonilova’s May 2011 Playboy appearance stands out because it connected Ukrainian roots, American opportunity, interior design, multilingual identity, and classic Playmate glamour. Her “The Perfect Touch” feature positioned her as a Lutsk-born model whose public image combined beauty, design ambition, cultural transition, and a belief that creativity could shape both her career and her life.
