Erika Michelle Barre Bio
Erika Michelle Barre is a Canadian Glamour and nude model. She was born on March 1, 1979, in Montreal, Canada, and has also been credited as Erika Barre and Erika Michelle Barre Galerii. Playboy featured her as Cybergirl of the Month in October 2001 at 22. She later received the Cybergirl of the Year title for 2002. The feature was part of Playboy's web-first model program.
Barre has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-23-34.
Travel had been part of Erika Michelle Barré’s life long before Playboy recognition arrived. She had lived in several places and traveled extensively, with family providing one particularly important reason to keep moving. Her father lived on the Caribbean island of Saint-Martin, and Barré made a point of visiting him twice a year. She spoke warmly about those trips and considered herself fortunate to have grown up with two fathers and two mothers in her family.
That attachment to family gives a more personal dimension to a profile otherwise associated with modeling and travel. Barré was especially open about her affection for her father, while her heavily stamped passport reflected a life spent moving between places rather than simply taking the occasional vacation. Playboy found an easy theme in that cosmopolitan background, but Barré’s own comments kept bringing the story back to the people she traveled to see.
Her relationship with Playboy reached its highest distinction when she was named Cybergirl of the Year for 2002. The title placed her among the early winners of an online program that was becoming an increasingly important part of Playboy’s presence beyond the printed magazine. For Barré, the annual honor followed her Cyber Club success and gave her a prominent place in Playboy’s first generation of internet-era models.
Her favorite way to spend downtime was considerably less glamorous than the nightlife one might have expected around a Playboy model. Barré preferred settling onto the couch to watch hockey. The enthusiasm had a family connection of its own: her stepfather had played the sport professionally, giving her an unusually well-qualified introduction to the game. Hockey was consequently more than a casual television preference; it belonged naturally to her home life.
Barré’s Playboy profile is most distinctive when those details are allowed to remain simple. International travel, regular visits to Saint-Martin, a close relationship with her extended family and evenings watching hockey provide the background to the Cybergirl title rather than merely decorating it. Even after Playboy named her Cybergirl of the Year, the portrait that emerged was less about parties and celebrity than family, travel and a favorite sport inherited from a professional player at home.
