HEATHER RAE YOUNG

Heather Rae Young is Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for February 2010. A delectable blonde with brown eyes and full lips, she comes from Running Springs, California, a small town nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains. “I was raised with strong values,” Heather said, “but I’ve got a mind of my own, and I wanted to be a model.” There weren’t many modeling jobs in Running Springs, but it was only two hours outside of Los Angeles.

Heather was working as a licensed aesthetician when she heard about the 55th Anniversary casting call at the Playboy Mansion. She landed a callback, shot a couple of pictorials for the Girls Network, and was invited to test for Playmate. “It all happened so fast,” she said. “Hef approved my centerfold, and just like that, I was Miss February in the first double issue of Playboy.”

Heather is a successful model-she has a thick stack of print work to her credit, from clothes with Affliction to cars with Low Rider and liquor with Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, and Jose Cuervo-and now she’s a host and actress, with appearances on Entourage, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and ‘Til Death.

Heather said she’s turned on by “a man I feel a real connection with who is honest, ambitious, and compassionate.” She’s turned off by “a man who thinks he’s God’s gift-cocky is not hot!” She also said, “Bad hygiene is a no-no!”

She says “We’re not into the club scene,” she said. “Parties at the Mansion are a lot of fun, but I’d rather go to dinner and a drink at a lounge.”

When she’s not working, she hones the tools of her trade-eating well, running, and taking boxing classes. With a body like Heather’s, there’s no question that she’s the upper cut. “I still can’t believe that I’m a Playmate,” she said, laughing. “It’s unbelievable.”

Buxom, leggy, and shapely blonde bombshell is Heather Rae Young. Her first job was working as a server at a local pizza place. Moreover, Young also worked as a ticket checker at the Snow Valley Resort and as a clerk at a video store. She left Running Springs shortly after turning eighteen. In June, 2008 Heather attended a “Playboy” casting call.

Young was called back for some test photos and was first featured on the Playboy Cyberclub website in the pictorial “Lounge Acts” in August, 2009. She was subsequently chosen to be the Playmate of the Month in the February, 2010 issue of the famous men’s magazine.

In addition, Heather has also worked as a swimsuit, glamour, and lingerie model: She’s been a spokes model for Captain Morgan, Smirnoff, Baileys, and Jose Cuervo, posed for both the 2010 Import Tuner calendar and the 2011 Fast Dates calendar, was featured in an ad campaign for the Affliction Clothing Line, and has modeled for such clients as Calao Swimwear, DSO Eye wear, Carrie Amber lingerie, Hustler Lingerie, Superstar Swimwear, and 7 Til Midnight Lingerie. Young made a guest appearance as Tina in “The Baby” episode of the comedy TV series “Til Death.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You were born in Anaheim, CA and raised in the small town of Running Springs, CA in the San Bernardino Mountains.You were involved with activities in school such as Dance, Tap and Ballet. While growing up you had a number of “first time jobs”. In June 2008 you attended a “Playboy Casting Call” and subsequently was chosen to be Playmate of the Month for February 2010.This propelled your modelling career to the height where you have been at the top of the world of fashion and glamour modelling and was also featured in Playboy Magazine, Playboy Feature “Lounge Acts” and Official Playboy Bunny (RED). Tell us something about this fairy tale journey?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I always knew there was more for me in life. I was the girl that looked through Playboy and said I want to be beautiful like those women. After becoming a Playmate my career took off. I traveled the world and United states working and doing appearances. I love meeting new people and I met people that you wouldn’t believe. I still can’t believe the things I have done.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You move from United States to many other countries for your professional career. For a model adjusting to new countries with their own cultures it must be difficult and then to adjust with modelling career in the new foreign land, what advice you can give to fellow models in a similar situation?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I unfortunately never lived in other countries, but I did travel a lot. I always pack my own food since I am vegan and I always workout no matter what. I am very friendly and extroverted so I don’t have a problem meeting people and fitting in to different cultures.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are world leading media personality, model, TV host, reality television personality, actress, singer, dancer and a brand ambassador. How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I wish singing was my specialty…. ha ha but i missed out on that talent.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: Fitness makes me so happy. I never look at it like….ugh I have to workout today. I get excited to do it. Right now I do a strength training HIIT class 3-4 times a week. And on the days in between I run 3-4 miles.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I am vegan. I have been vegan for a few hears now. Usually I try to replace 2 meals with a protein smoothie. Lunch is usually quinoa salad or veggie salad. I snack in between on nuts or a vegan protein bar (which has little ingredients) And I drink tea in between meals. No coffee, I actually have never tried a cup. I do have a sweet tooth though, so I choose to not even have sugar because once I start i can’t stop.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I take fish oil and vitamins daily. And I use good products and get a facial with ext actions once a month. I am lucky to have such long hair especially being a blonde. I am proud to say I have no extensions!! yay My secret is I get a blowout once a week and usually never wash it more than that. I don’t think I washed my own hair in 6 months or more. LOL.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us about your experience of working on “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno ?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I worked a few times on Jimmy Kimmel a few times. it was super fun and nerve racking doing a live skit. And they didn’t tell me what he was going to do or what I was going to read before hand. So it was all on a whim…. When I walked off the stage I said, did I black out because i don’t remember what I said. But I did good!!

Ms. Namita Nayyar: How did you feel on being selected by Playboy magazine’s as the Playmate of the Month for February 2010?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: It’s an honor and it was life changing. I forget sometimes what an honor it was. I need to remind myself it is very special.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of modelling?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: Don’t lose your confidence, and when you stop loving it quit. This industry can drag you down a tad. Always being compared to others and told you are not good enough. But have fun with it. Enjoy every moment.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Elaborate about your endeavor of being featured in your first movie along side Vingh Rhames, Robert Patrick and Pam Grier?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I was basically thrown into acting. its not my passion, but I had some fun with it. I went to a serious acting school for about 3 years. Worked on a few great sets and movies alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson but When I stopped loving it I quit going to auditions and moved on to other things that I enjoyed.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have done bold photo shoots with Playboy and various other magazines. How you are so body confident and advice to your compatriots?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I have always been a very confident person, so being nude for me was easy. Our bodies are beautiful as long as you are not abusing it. I won’t be young for long so why not work what i got in a tasteful manner of course. Playboy is very classy and respected so I didn’t even question the shoots I did. Some ignorant people think it is porn, but it is far from that. It is a celebration of a women’s body and hopefully inspiring to other girls to be more free with themselves and more open.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us more about your working in “Playmates in 3D”, you being 1st Playmate Ever?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: That was a fun shoot, it was so cool watching it back. I am not sure if it ever came out. Also Kim Phillips and I got to have a pillow fight. ha ha every mans fantasy right 🙂 a first for me for sure!!

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us about a memorable experience you still remember about one of the photo shoot or videos that you wish to share?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: I got to do a campaign with Harley Davidson and Playboy. I got my motorcycle license and Harley also gave me a motorcycle. Riding became a huge passion of mine. Life changing for me.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?

Ms. Heather Rae Young: Any website that supports women and fitness is amazing. We all need a little extra support and push. We all fall off the wagon, get lazy at points and its nice to be able to have a site to go to for a kick in the butt.
