Playboy Muse, March 2013

Lena Erickson Bio

Lena Erickson is an American Glamour and nude model. She was born on September 8, 1987, in Fort Myers, Florida. She appeared as a Playboy Muse in March 2013 at 25. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.

Erickson has enhanced breasts, green eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-23-33.

Lena Erickson had been modeling long before Playboy entered the picture. Her grandmother enrolled her in a modeling program when she was 15, setting off a surprisingly international start to her career. Erickson later lived in New York and spent time working in Milan, where she appeared in the Italian edition of Marie Claire. By the time she came to Playboy, she was already familiar with professional sets, travel and the demands of fashion modeling.

At the same time, she was pursuing a very different goal back home in Florida. Erickson studied business administration part-time and spoke proudly about becoming the first person in her family to graduate from college. Raised by her grandparents in Fort Myers, she described a difficult childhood that taught her to look after herself early. Modeling may have taken her abroad, but education remained an important part of the future she was building.

That combination of fashion experience and everyday Florida life gave Erickson an appealingly grounded quality. She had been an athlete in high school and still enjoyed sports, whether that meant watching football with male friends or heading out on four-wheelers for a day of mudding. Time with the girls was more likely to involve the mall or the beach—a social life that sounded far removed from Milan runways and magazine shoots.

Erickson was equally straightforward about relationships. She preferred something genuine to a one-night stand and placed more value on sincerity than appearances alone. “Good looks only get you so far,” she said, a fitting line from someone whose early career had already taught her just how much attention looks could attract. Her Playboy appearance caught her at an interesting intersection: experienced enough to have modeled internationally, but still in school, still close to her Florida roots and still deciding how the different parts of her life would fit together.
