Tasha Banks Bio
Tasha Banks is a Canadian Pole dancer, glamour and nude model. She was born on November 17, 1983, in Vancouver, Canada. She appeared as a Playboy Muse in June 2015 at 31. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Banks has enhanced breasts, blue eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 34-25-36.
Tasha Banks spent several years modeling in Vancouver before the opportunity she had been hoping for finally arrived. Once a self-described “wallflower” in high school, she gradually developed a far more outgoing personality and began taking her modeling ambitions seriously, with Playboy sitting near the top of her wish list from the beginning.
Her route to the magazine came through photographer Cassandra Keyes, whom Banks met through a mutual friend. She submitted her photographs for consideration and was soon invited to shoot. The resulting Playboy Plus session was her first nude pictorial, turning a long-standing ambition into a professional milestone. “I’ve always wanted to pose for Playboy,” she said. “It’s been a dream since the very beginning of my journey.”
Dance and fitness have played an equally important role in Banks’s life. She is particularly passionate about pole dancing and spends as much time in the studio as possible, combining it with regular exercise. For Banks, the activity is both a creative pursuit and an important part of the active lifestyle she maintains away from modeling.
Her Playboy interview also revealed someone more interested in experiences and the people around her than in elaborate plans for fame. Banks described generosity as one of her strongest qualities and said that, given the means, her priorities would be taking care of her family and traveling the world. “I have a big heart,” she told Playboy.
Banks’s June 2015 Playboy Muse appearance marked the realization of a goal she had carried through several years of modeling. From her quieter school days to Vancouver photo shoots, dance training and eventually Cassandra Keyes’s camera, she steadily grew into the confident model she wanted to become. Playboy gave that journey its most significant milestone yet—and Banks seemed perfectly happy to see where it might lead next.
