Playboy International, March 2013

Julia Popova Bio

Julia Popova is a Russian Glamour and nude model. She was born on July 24, 1993, in Moscow, Russia. She appeared in an international edition of Playboy in March 2013 at 19. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.

Popova has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 33-24-36.

Julia Popova brought an adventurous streak to her Playboy debut. Already working as an international model, she was drawn to activities far removed from the controlled atmosphere of a photo studio, describing extreme sports as one of her favorite ways to spend her free time.

That appetite for adventure went back to childhood. Popova told Playboy that one of her earliest dreams was to fly to the moon—an ambition that may have remained beyond reach, but neatly captured the sense of curiosity and daring she brought to her profile. Modeling eventually provided a more earthly route to new experiences.

Her career reached a milestone when she auditioned for Playboy and was selected as Miss March 2013 for Playboy Russia. The feature placed Popova among the edition’s monthly Playmates and introduced her to the magazine’s wider international audience.

Popova was also thinking about where modeling might take her next. She expressed an interest in continuing within the fashion industry, possibly moving into its development or business side rather than limiting herself to work in front of the camera. She was equally candid about one less disciplined habit, admitting that she had a tendency to leave everything until the last minute.

That combination of modeling ambition and a taste for adrenaline gave Popova’s Playboy profile its personality. Extreme sports, childhood dreams of space travel and plans for a future in fashion offered a glimpse beyond the pictorial itself, while her Miss March 2013 appearance became the defining Playboy chapter of this stage in her career.
