Donna Tickel

Playboy Muse, December 2007

Donna Tickel Bio

Donna Tickel is a British Adult model. She was born on February 8, 1981, in London, United Kingdom. She appeared as a Playboy Muse in December 2007 at 26. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.

Tickel has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-24-34.

Donna Tickel had been testing the waters of modeling since her teens, trying catwalk work at sixteen before spending time dancing in clubs. By 2005, she had found the corner of the business that suited her best and began working full-time as a glamour and topless model. Britain’s booming lads’-magazine era proved to be perfect timing.

Tickel became a familiar face across the UK glamour scene, appearing in magazines including Nuts, Zoo and Maxim. Her portfolio also stretched into calendars, online modeling and television presenting, giving her plenty of opportunities beyond the traditional magazine pictorial. Playboy was the next very welcome addition.

In December 2007, Tickel was named Playboy UK’s Cyber Girl of the Month. The title put her firmly inside Playboy’s British digital world and gave readers a chance to discover the personality behind the photographs. And when Playboy asked about romance, Donna had a wonderfully specific idea of what the perfect date should look like.

Forget velvet ropes and an expensive restaurant. Tickel wanted Brighton, a pier, a picnic on the beach and an afternoon fooling around in the arcades “like students.” Her taste in men was slightly more complicated. “I’ve always gone for bad boys, then I find a gentleman, then I go back to the bad boy and think that I should have stayed with the gentleman,” she admitted. By 2007, she had finally devised the obvious solution: “a gentleman that looks like a bad boy.”

It was a line perfectly suited to Tickel’s Playboy era — cheeky, candid and not remotely overthought. From teenage catwalk experiments to the height of British glamour magazines, Playboy and television work, Donna built a career around knowing how to catch an audience’s attention. But her ideal afternoon remained charmingly uncomplicated: seaside, picnic, arcades and, preferably, one very well-behaved bad boy.
