Amateur Amanda Lyn is sinewy blonde with long legs and tattoos. Energetic and outgoing, this self-described “girl next door” is a working model in Lake Forest, California, a family city known for its lakefront properties and equestrian community. “Growing up here taught me to be humble and grateful for what I have,” says Amanda. “But it also taught me to work hard, and never to settle for less.” Amanda likes shopping trips and all-nighters with the girls, but she’s tough – she also likes camping, off-roading in Baja trucks, and most of all, horseback riding. “I’m pretty good,” she says modestly. “I wanted to work with Playboy because it’s a professional experience,” says Amanda. “You know, the big leagues. The opportunity itself is a dream come true.” When she’s not working, she’s playing the dating game, showing off those long legs in a pair of high heels. “Being single is great,” she says. “You figure out who you are as a person – what your strengths and weaknesses are, and eventually, who you can be.” As for men, Amanda likes them tall, dark and handsome, with a nice smile and eyes. “And respect is very important,” she adds. “Women should be treated with kindness.”
