Alyssa Arce

Playboy Playmate of The Month for July 2013

Alyssa Arce Bio

Alyssa Arce is an American glamour and nude model. She was born on February 27, 1992, in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Playboy named her its July 2013 Playmate at 21. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.

Arce has natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-25-34.

Alyssa Arce began modeling while still in her teens, developing a professional career that eventually brought representation from both Ford and Wilhelmina. Her assignments ranged from runway work to editorial shoots, giving her experience across different sides of the fashion business before Playboy became involved. Friends had already been asking why she had not posed for the magazine, making the eventual invitation feel less like a surprise than an opportunity whose time had arrived.

Growing up in Myrtle Beach, Arce developed interests that were considerably less polished than the fashion sets where she later worked. She lived near a racetrack and spent part of her childhood riding go-karts, dirt bikes and four-wheelers. She also joined her high-school cheerleading team, combining an athletic streak with the interest in modeling that would become increasingly serious during her teenage years.

Playboy added a major editorial credit to Arce’s expanding portfolio. Sasha Eisenman photographed her centerfold, and Arce approached the assignment with the confidence of someone already accustomed to professional shoots and agency representation. Becoming a Playmate nevertheless carried particular significance for her, especially after years of hearing friends suggest that Playboy seemed an obvious match for her modeling career.

Arce’s ambitions were not confined to accumulating more modeling credits. She spoke about finding a life that could accommodate family, international travel and fashion, three priorities she hoped would remain compatible as her career developed. Her personality also had a playful edge: she enjoyed teasing and bantering with people and warned that anyone around her needed enough confidence not to take every joke too seriously.

Cars and motorsports remained part of Arce’s interests even after fashion became her profession, preserving a connection to the racetrack culture of her Myrtle Beach childhood. By the time of her Playboy appearance, she had progressed from teenage modeling to representation by two major agencies while working across runway and editorial assignments. The Sasha Eisenman centerfold added Playboy to a career already firmly established within mainstream modeling.
