Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Kennedy wears nothing but a white lace teddy, and her long legs are even longer in a hot pair of stiletto heels. Laid out on the bed, magnificent in satin sheets and furs, Miss Summers is just about as inviting as it gets – and trust us, guys, you’ll want to save the date with our December Playmate.

“When I saw these pictures, I was shocked,” admits Kennedy. “I couldn’t believe it was me. I’m really happy with them.” We think you’ll be pretty happy with them, too – so sit back, relax and pore over the gorgeous Miss Kennedy Summers. The future is bright with Playmate Kennedy Summers. She’s tall at 5’8” – 5’ 8 ½”, to be precise – with blonde hair, blue eyes and a truly superior intellect. With a bachelor’s degree in anthropology, German-born Kennedy is a dedicated pre-med student, and she’s finishing a master’s in health administration while she’s at it.

“I’ve modeled for more than ten years,” says Kennedy. “I loved my career, because it let me travel all over the world.” And travel she has – From Italy, Germany and France to Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, she’s the very definition of a jet-setting international model – but these days, she’s got her sights set on her M.D., and plans to trade in her garter belt for a clean-cut white coat and stethoscope.

“Being a Playmate is my grand finale,” she says. “I want to become a plastic surgeon, and I want to have my own clinic, too!” On the contrary, Kennedy’s turn as Miss December was only her first act – for her next trick, our aspiring surgeon was named the 60th Anniversary Playmate of the Year. “It’s more than I could have hoped for,” says Kennedy. “I always wanted to be a Playmate, and now here I am. I look better without clothes on, anyway!” No matter what she does, we’re sure that Miss Summers will do it well – men want to be with her, women want to be her, and that’s our Playmate of the Year 2014.

“Being Playmate of the Year is such an honor,” says Kennedy. “I’m flattered that Hef thought I was worth an entire year. I thought a month was a big deal – and now I get twelve more of them!” In addition to her title, we gifted Miss Summers with a one-year lease on a MINI Roadster, among other fabulous things – but suffice it to say, we’re the lucky ones, ‘cause Kennedy is about as beautiful and talented as we could hope our Playmate of the Year would be. “We shot my Playmate of the Year pictorial at a beautiful midcentury-modern house in the Beverly Hills,” she says. “Michael wanted to chronicle the whole history of Playboy, from the 50’s all the way up to the present. My favorite was the 60’s – I loved getting to dress up like Brigitte Bardot!” Or dressed down, as the case may be – and here at Playboy, we’re A-OK with that

It’s a cold December morning, but Kennedy warms us right up in nothing but a sweater and a pair of thigh-highs. She’s got breakfast on the table, but as she unbuttons her sweater, that’s all but forgotten – and without ruining the surprise, let’s just say that Miss Summers is a Playmate to remember. “Being a Playmate has been wonderful,” says Kennedy. “It was so much more than I could have hoped for. I’ve spent the last several Christmases in Asia, so being Miss December is really special for me – I love Christmas!” With Playboy, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been naughty or nice – so for goodness’ sake, sit back and take in the beautiful Kennedy Summers.
