If we didn’t know better, we’d say that Lauren O’Conner had stepped right out of our dreams and into the real world. A delicious mix of nerd and sex kitten, she’s every guy’s fantasy of the perfect girlfriend. “I grew up in San Diego, California, and I love it so much that I still live there today,” says Lauren. “There’s always something to do. In high school, I was a drama nerd who got bullied a little, but as I got older, I became friends with those people!” An insurance agent by day, Lauren was drawn to the world of Playboy, so she submitted her photos. (Spoiler alert: We loved them.) “I sent in my cosplay photos,” says Lauren, giggling. “I really love cosplay. I’m also really good at twerking, so that helps!” A truly fresh face, Lauren hopes that Playboy Plus will help her to develop as a model. “At first, I felt like a fish out of water,” she admits. “Posing for Playboy Plus was new for me. Actually, I’d never even posed nude—this was my first time. I was a little nervous, but once I saw the photos, I was so happy with the way they turned out!” Give Miss O’Conner a warm welcome, guys—she’s eager to please, and there’s lots more of her where this comes from.
