Introducing Nikki Leigh, the sizzling Playmate of the Month for May 2012. This captivating blue-eyed blonde hails from Cypress, California, and she just snagged her Bachelor's in sociology—something she's damn proud of. 'I'm incredibly intelligent,' she declares confidently. 'I just finished up at Cal State Fullerton and earned a spot in the Golden Key Honors Society.' She's a globe-trotter at heart, having explored Tokyo and Beijing, plus she immersed herself in a semester studying abroad in Italy. Nikki's chasing grand adventures, but true to many
Playmates, her roots are humble. 'I grew up in a cozy Orange County suburb,' she shares. 'The folks there are warm-hearted, and I live by spreading random kindness.' A former high school cheerleader and top scholar, she hustled to reach her current heights. 'I've dreamed of becoming a Playboy model since I was 13,' she confesses. 'This is pure fantasy fulfilled.' Shockingly, this sultry stunner is stepping into modeling for the very first time. She submitted a photo to a casting agent on a buddy's tip, and we scouted her straight for Playmate status—her stunning allure and sharp mind make her the perfect envoy for Playboy's seductive legacy. She's happily single and loving the independence—her schedule's packed with Playmate escapades. 'I get to be my authentic self around the clock,' she beams. 'But I dig men who are compassionate and considerate toward everyone.' Off-duty, she prefers kicking back with girlfriends—chatting, hitting the shops, or soaking up sun by the pool alongside her Playmate sisters. Food's her passion, and she's got the Mansion's chef locked in her contacts. 'Some chicks boast about out-drinking you, but I'll devour you under the table,' she giggles. 'From juicy steaks and fresh sushi to hearty pasta and decadent cheesecake—bring it on, I'll indulge.' Nikki splits her days between her LA pad and the Playboy Mansion, where she chills with her crew of pals and fellow Playmates.
