Go behind the scenes with Hope Dworaczyk, Miss April 2009, Playmate of the Year 2010 and first-ever 3D Centerfold. She’s tall – towering over other Playmates at 5’10” – and has voluminous brown hair, green eyes and long, shapely legs. Raised small-town Port Lavaca, Texas, Hope has always played the lead – she graduated high school at sixteen, and she won the Miss Teen Texas competition shortly thereafter. “In other ways, I felt like I was behind other girls,” she insists. “I was tall and awkward. I didn’t date until I was sixteen, and I didn’t have a real boyfriend until I was 20.” She’s still tall, but she’s grown into a true beauty - and with three magazine covers, film and television credits to her name, it’s safe to say that she has arrived. Hope is one of our most successful Playmates – she’s walked the runway for big names like Balenciaga, and was a promotional model for Versace. She’s appeared on The Girls Next Door and the Bunny House, and she won $20,000 for charity on Celebrity Apprentice. Now she’s the co-producer and host of E! Canada’s Inside Fashion, a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry. “I helped to create the show,” she says proudly. “We do Fashion Week coverage, runway shows, and interviews with top designers, models and photographers.” Hope divides her time between New York, Los Angeles and Toronto, and she visits her family in Texas when she can. With fashion and cosmetic lines in the works, and her sights set on American television, we’ve got faith in Hope.
