"I like to wear no clothes," says Sasckya Porto. "If it weren’t illegal to walk naked in the streets on a hot day, I would do it. For me it’s just natural." We can only imagine the riot she would cause if she were to climb completely naked out of a taxi and onto a busy street in New York City, where she makes her home.
Sasckya lures all eyes even when she’s fully clothed. The 23-year-old statuesque beauty stands five feet 10 inches, and that’s without heels. When she saunters down Fifth Avenue, she doesn’t so much walk as catwalk. And when she speaks, her Brazilian accent weakens the knees.
Yes, Sasckya is from Brazil. You’ve heard of the place. It’s populated with supermodels who hang around tropical beaches, wearing bathing suits invisible to the human eye. They’re perpetually bronzed and always seem to be on the verge of arousal. In America they are the quintessential exotic beauties. As far as we’re concerned, we have discovered the next Brazilian import. Sasckya Porto was raised in Campina Grande, a subtropical city perched on an beautiful beach. "I would trade it for Rio de Janeiro never!" she says.
As a child Sasckya liked ballet and sports, but at the age of 13 she won a beauty pageant, and just like that she became a model. "I did commercials for Toyota and World Cup soccer," she says. "At 15 I started doing runway shows and left dancing and volleyball behind." When Miss Porto was 17, her family moved to Boston, and she went to B.U. She didn’t like the cold, but she learned a lot about marketing, which she uses today in her modeling. "It’s all marketing," she says. "I’m selling me!"
Why did Sasckya Porto want to be a Playmate? "Why not?" she says, laughing. "In Brazil we are not ashamed of our bodies. I love nude beaches because you don’t get any marks on your body when you sun. 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."
