The year starts on a high note with your January 2017 Playmate, Bridget Malcolm. Coming to Playboy Plus from Australia, Bridget is a model, podcast co-host, and a classical musician, now based in New York. “I play most days,” she says. “My dream is to transition into being a working classical musician.” Bridget plays the oboe, among other instruments. “Performing music in front of a live audience will always be scarier than walking down a runway,” she laughs. “That’s because you’re putting every ounce of your soul on the line for people and praying your technique can support it. It’s terrifying — but a thrill when you nail it!” When she’s not on a set or practicing, Bridget is cooking vegan meals, meditating, or keeping fit. “Mindfulness is a key to stress management and all-around happiness,” she shares. “Dedicate just 10 minutes a day to meditating; it could change your life!” Learn more about Bridget right here on Playboy Plus.
