Former Octagon Girl Rachelle Leah is hoping her nude pictures in the November issue of Playboy will open some doors for her, and she plans to capitalize on it “in every different way possible.”
“I’m really happy with the way it came out,” she said in a recent interview. “My whole deal was that I wanted it to be very classy, elegant, and mature – and it is. And with all the creative control that they gave me and the picture approvals that I had, I knew where everything was going, and it was perfect – it was a great shoot. People will like it.”
This isn’t Leah’s first time in Playboy. She was featured in the October 2006 issue as the “Babe of the Month,” however she was fully clothed.
The former UFC ring girl will grace the cover of the November issue, as well as a 10-page nude photo spread, however, she didn’t accept the offer to appear in the magazine without talking it over with her parents first.
“I’ve got a very supportive family, so I’m really lucky that everyone is really proud of me, and it’s not like this is just some random nude magazine – it’s Playboy, the biggest magazine in the world, so I’m pretty excited about that, and they are too.”
The 24-year-old model and actress will be returning to the Octagon one more time on October 25th, at UFC 90. “To hype up the issue, I’m gonna be at the Chicago event.”
In addition to her duties as host of “UFC All Access,” Leah also just finished filming a horror movie, “The Bleeding,” scheduled to be released next year. She has signed on as a spokesmodel for Anheuser-Busch, and will be hosting THQ’s UFC 2009 Undisputed videogame. She will even have her own action figure.
The November issue of Playboy hits stands on Friday.
