Sara Mercnik

Give a warm welcome thats dobrodoli in Slovenian to Sara Mercnik, a model from Maribor, Slovenia. Petite at 54, with black hair and clear blue eyes, shes all natural, and certainly not shy in front of the camera. Ever since I can remember, Ive been a nudist, she says. When I was younger, Id always take off my bathing suit and run naked into the water. I really dont have any problems with nudity. A student of Russian and German at a local university, Sara was a part-time model in her home country, but she had her sights set on Playboy, and wouldnt give up until she made it into the Slovenian edition. When I first came into contact with Playboy, I remember that I realized two things: a womans naked body is an object of admiration, and that if I gathered enough courage, I could be one of those women. These days, Miss Mercnik is sporting two titles Playboy Slovenias Playmate of the Month for November 2011, and more recently, Slovenian Playmate of the Year 2012. Im happy in my own skin, and thats what is most beautiful about me, she says. I think that shows in my photographs.
