Eugena Washington Named 2016 Playmate Of The Year

A former contestant on “America’s Next Top Model” is making history as the third black woman dubbed Playmate of the Year.

Euegena Washington, 31, was named Playboy’s 2016 Playmate of the Year and will be featured on the cover of the magazine’s June issue, and on 10 pages inside.
PR NewsWire reports:

“It’s a great time for this,” Washington told the magazine. “The world is changing. I hope this brings different eyes to the magazine and new audiences. This is a story and a chapter in my life to build around.

I’m enjoying the ride, and right now I’m doing whatever I want to do, day by day. That’s how I live. That’s what my life is about. As long as I’m doing what I want to do, I’m happy. Right now, being a part of Playboy is what I want to do.”

Along with her title, Eugena receives $100,000 in prize money and a two-year lease on the All-New 2017 Fiat 124 Spider.

Eugena first appeared in Playboy as the magazine’s December 2015 Playmate of the Month.

She is Playboy’s 57th Playmate of the Year, and third black Playmate to be given the iconic title (Renee Tenison, 1990 Playmate of the Year, and Ida Ljungqvist, 2009 Playmate of the Year, preceded her). Playboy named its first Playmate of the Year, Ellen Stratton, in 1960.

Eugena’s modeling career began in 2006 when she appeared on Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 7 and finished in the top three.

And yes, just like in her Top Model days Eugena is absolutely stunning.
