Nikki Schieler

They say a smile can brighten someones day, and thats certainly true of Playmate Nikki Schieler. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Nikki was working as a dental assistant in Brea, California when on a whim, she decided to see a fortune-teller. I didnt mind working with teeth, she says. Actually, I liked my job. But I couldnt help thinking there was something more for me. At the bottom of a cup of tea leaves, the fortune-teller told Miss Schielers then-uncertain future, predicting fame if not Playmate-hood ahead. She told me she saw me on magazine covers, says Nikki. Sooner than later, Nikki was a bikini model, posing for catalogues and calendars the world over and not too much later, our Miss September 1997. In fact, Nikki has the distinction of being a cover model and a Centerfold a month before her Playmate appearance, she graced the cover of our Biker Babes issue. Thats truly an honor, she quips. When not in front of the camera, Nikki spent her husband, actor Ian Ziering, memorizing lines from one or another of their scripts. With roles on Beverly Hills, 90210, Pacific Blue and American Wedding, our toothsome Miss September will have her hands full for the foreseeable future.
