Raquel Gibson

Tag along with Raquel Gibson, our Miss November 2005. Tan-skinned, with brown hair, brown eyes and full lips, shes made for an island paradise. My father is an Italian New Yorker, and my mother is Filipina, she says, casual. I have family in Japan and the Philippines. Im fluent in Tagalog. From Clearwater, on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Raquel was a member of the USA National Bikini Team when she was selected to become a Playmate. A woman of many talents, she has a real estate license and a degree in the culinary arts, and had planned to go to medical school to study pediatrics. But she found her calling as a Playmate, and after a few episodes of The Girls Next Door and a tour of Miami on Bridgets Sexiest Beaches, she was a successful model and hostess. A Playmate is strong and confident, and she doesnt care what other people think, she says. Thats the kind of girl I want to be. Raquel lives in the Tampa Bay area, and when shes not working, shes on the computer. Im not a party girl, she admits. I dont have a type, but I want a good man who loves his mom. Family is a big part of my life.
