Teri Marie Harrison

Teri Harrison represents the American melting pot, and she does it with style - not to mention an undeniably girlish charm. Half German and half Japanese, with blonde hair and green eyes, Teri hails from Bradenton, Florida, where she was raised on a steady diet of sushi and bratwurst. I stick out like a Q-tip in family pictures, she jokes. Thats my life! When Playboy came calling, Teri didnt hesitate to trade one sunny shore for another before she knew it, she was in southern California, shooting her Centerfold at Playboys Studio West. Traveling helps people grow, she says. Playboy isnt something Im doing just because I can. I really enjoy being photographed, but I want people to get to know me and to see how beautiful a person can be on the inside and on the outside. A worthy task to be sure, and when it comes to the lissome Miss Harrison, theres no worthier holder of the title of Miss October 2002.
