Fresh, feisty, bold and beautiful are the best words to describe this Playboy December 2007 Playmate. Sasckya Porto, who hails from Brazil, has been stunning the world with her irresistibility, posing in ads and walking runways for such companies as Pantene, L’Oreal, Sunsilk, MAC makeup and Fredericks of Hollywood. And when it comes to showing off assets, let’s just say Porto has no fears. “I like to wear no clothes,” she told Playboy in a 2007 interview. “If it weren’t illegal to walk naked in the streets on a hot day, I would do it. For me it’s natural.”

My Ideal Man

I like all men—Brazilian, American, Chinese, Japanese, all of them!

You’d be this fearless too if you were working your craft since your teen years. Born and raised in Campina Grande, near Recife, Porto began competing in beauty pageants and modeling when she was 15. “I did commercials for Toyota and World Cup soccer,” she said. “At 15 I started doing runway shows and left dancing and volleyball behind.” After winning the Ms. Pariba competition for her state, she would eventually move to winning Ms. Brazil and placing 5th in the Miss World pageant. At the pinnacle of her success in pageants, Porto moved to the U.S. to pursue modeling, eventually signing to agencies like Wilhelmina and Elite. When time came for her close-up in the pages of Playboy, Porto’s cultural instincts gave her the confidence to run with it. “In Brazil we are not ashamed of our bodies,” she confessed. “…So for me to pose for Playboy was not hard. Don’t get me wrong: Playboy is a classy magazine, the only one I would take my clothes off for.” And we’re thankful she did.

She’s tall – 5’10” in bare feet – and the hottest thing this side of the equator, with long, dark hair, brown eyes and an intriguing Portuguese accent. She’s from Recife, in the east Brazilian state of Pernambuco. “I had a great childhood,” she says. “I played sports, and I studied ballet and quadrilha, a traditional Brazilian dance.” She entered her first beauty contest at fifteen, and at seventeen she moved to the States, where she was named Miss Brazil USA. “Just like that, I became a model,” she says. “I studied marketing at Boston University, but I left school when my modeling career led me to New York City.” Sasckya impressed us when she came in for a casting – she was so eager to please that she undressed in the waiting room. Needless to say, we tested her for Playmate – and even more needless to say, she made the Centerfold. “Playboy was a natural choice for me,” she says. “I’m Brazilian, so I’m not ashamed of my body. And it’s very well-respected. I wouldn’t take my clothes off for any other magazine.” These days, Sasckya is a successful fashion and lingerie model, and she lives in New York City with her husband. “I’ve been modeling for fifteen years,” she says, “so I think it’s time for me to try acting.” Whatever she does, we’re sure she’ll do it well.
