I
was born in Stockholm, Sweden and grew up in Hannover, Germany with
my brother THOMAS who is like my best friend today. I also have a
horse, 2 Persian cats and 2 Chihuahuas. One of them is "Chichi" and
came with me to America. In 1986 I became Miss Hanover and later placed
second in the Miss Germany contest. I won a new car, and my picture
was in all the German newspapers. A week later Playboy Germany called
to see if I would like to be a Playmate. Because I had never been
photographed nude before I was a little bit afraid, so they sent me
copies of the magazine so my parents, my boyfriend and I could see
that the photos were artistic and beautiful. Finally I said yes --
my marriage with Playboy began with me being Playboy Germany's Miss
October 1986 Ê I started modeling all over the world, in almost every
country. In 1991 I went to a casting call for a game show on Italian
TV called Colpo GrossoI got the job and became "la fragola" . So I
moved to Milan to live and work for a year. It was a daily show, so
I worked every day and became well-known in Italy because this show
was so famous that it was every day twice on air. I was asked for
autographs wherever I went. Wow - that was a great feeling! In between,
the German TV came out to Milano to do exactly the same show . So
They just had to change the host . The german host was Hugo Egon Balder.
After the one year in Milano, I went back to Germany and at this time
the german TV start showing a varation of the italien show which was
named nowTUTTI FRUTTI The show became also in Germany and in some
other countries very famous, which means me too". We had 7 million
people watching So, no wonder that Playboy Germany did another pictorial
of me plus a cover. Around my time in Milano I also modeled for Gianni
Versace. Thank you for visiting my page! Love . . . Elke Jeinsen
