Playboy Magazine is pushing the envelope with its upcoming November and December issue with Ines Rau, a 26-year-old French model, to be featured in a pictorial and centerfold spread.
The edition will also feature a tribute to founder, Hugh Hefner, who died few weeks ago in September.
Rau, who admitted that she has not always identified as transgender, is not a newcomer to the Playboy family. She first graced the pages of Playboy Magazine in 2014.
Rau might not have had the easiest rise to fame but according to her, she has always known that she would eventually get there.
In her interview, she said:
‘I always knew from within, when I was a little kid in my room in the ghetto, that a beautiful destiny was waiting for me.I don’t know how to explain it. A little voice was telling me, ‘You’ll see. Patience.’’
Now that her time has come, Rau has plans to make the most of it. She has supposedly signed a book deal and is set to walk in a number of designer shows in the near future.
