Kristi Cline is a small-town girl at heart, and she’s got a good head on her shoulders, too. Tall and slim, with curly blonde hair, Kristi was born and raised in the Southwest – she’s a little bit Texas, a little bit New Mexico, and one hundred percent Playboy Playmate. “The first time I went to the Playboy Mansion, I was so anxious,” she admits. “I’ve always been kind of a nudist. Modeling was weird – I hope I never get so involved with myself – but being nude wasn’t.” After a stay in Beverly Hills, Kristi shot her Playmate pictorial in her native Albuquerque. “When I moved to Albuquerque, I went a little wild,” she admits. “My older sister taught me the ways of partying, but I always kept my grades high.” Before she became our Miss September 1999, Kristi was in college, putting the partying aside to study premed. “After Playboy, I’ll become a pediatrician,” she insists. “I want to pursue my career in the medial field, have a family and live life to the fullest. I’m a happy, smiling person – I always try to make everyone’s day better!” We’d say that Miss Cline’s mission is accomplished.
