Richelle Taylor may seem shy at first, but once you get to know her, she’s anything but. All natural, with soft, honey-blonde hair, Richelle comes to us from suburban Ontario, Canada, where she spends lots of time reading and hanging outdoors. “I’d say that my best quality would have to be my honesty,” says Richelle, by way of introduction. “I never pretend—I’ll tell you exactly how I feel. Some people appreciate that, and other times, it gets me into trouble!” Formerly with an agency, Miss Taylor has done a bit of commercial modeling, but found herself drawn to the world of Playboy Plus. “I sent pictures, and the casting director invited me to audition in Montreal,” says Richelle. “I was surprised he remembered me—I can’t even imagine how many submissions he must get every day. I went, and I must have done something right, because here I am! Persistence is key!” Now that she’s a Playboy Plus model, Richelle wants to use her platform to empower other girls and women. “I don’t have the perfect body, but I think I’m perfect for Playboy Plus,” she says confidently. “People should feel comfortable in their own skin!” A glamour model and a role model—Richelle is definitely making a difference, and we’re glad to have her on Playboy Plus.
