Karina Marie Bio
Karina Marie is a British model and Playboy Playmate, best known as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for January 2013. She was born on February 5, 1984, in Basildon, United Kingdom. Her zodiac sign is Aquarius.
Her Playboy pictorial, titled “Winter Wonderland,” was photographed by Sasha Eisenman and presented Karina as Miss January in a ski-lodge fantasy setting. The feature played on a winter-après-ski mood, combining fur, vintage glamour, travel, fashion, and a relaxed cabin atmosphere.
According to her Playboy profile, Karina Marie is an East London native who loved travel, skiing, fashion, and music festivals. Before her Playboy appearance, she had already gained British reality-TV attention at the age of 16 on The Salon and later landed her first magazine cover at 17. She also appeared in UK men’s and style magazines including FHM, Elle, GQ, and Arena.
Karina Marie’s January 2013 Playboy feature was also notable because she was identified as the fourteenth British Playmate. Her profile framed her as a model with a distinctly British public image: part fashion lover, part festival regular, part vintage-shop enthusiast, and part international glamour model.
According to her official Playboy data sheet, Karina Marie is 5’8” tall and was listed at 110 lbs, with measurements of 32C-25-33. She has natural breasts, brown eyes, and blond hair. In her own profile notes, she described her ambitions as travelling the world as a reality-TV host and creating a lingerie line.
Karina’s data sheet gives her profile a playful, vintage-inspired personality. She named Brigitte Bardot as her idol, described herself as a “vintage shopaholic,” and listed live music, festivals, travel, skiing, and fashion as central parts of her life. These details fit the “Winter Wonderland” concept, where Playboy presented her as a British model with a classic bombshell influence and a modern, travel-driven lifestyle.
Karina Marie’s January 2013 Playboy appearance stands out as a polished international Playmate feature: British background, reality-TV visibility, magazine work, and a winter-themed pictorial shaped by fashion, après-ski imagery, and old-school glamour. Her profile placed her within Playboy’s early-2010s international lineup as a model whose appeal came from confidence, mobility, and a strong sense of personal style.
