We’re across the pond (and over the moon) for Playmate Emily Agnes, our Miss July 2014. Tall at 5’8, with downy brown hair, green eyes and a figure that FHM summed up as ‘the body making headlines everywhere’, Emily caught our eye all the way from her village in England, and without hesitation, we flew her out for a Playmate test at the Mansion. “I’ve done a little modeling in the last two years,” she says. “I’d done some topless shoots for lads’ mags in England, but no one paid me any attention. And then I thought, ‘I’d like to do Playboy’. Everything’s bigger in America, and now that I’m here, I want to go big!” In person, Emily may seem a little shy, but when she’s in front of the camera, she’s anything but. “The thing I like most about modeling is getting to play at being someone else for a day,” she says. “You get to let your alter ego out. I’m normally quite shy and reserved, so it’s fun to get me in front of the camera. There’s a whole other side to me! ” When she’s not modeling, Emily loves to indulge in her more artistic inclinations. “I love to paint, and I do yoga,” she says. “I love to cook, too. My mum and my grandmother are both amazing cooks, and they taught me everything I know.” With her calm, can-do attitude, not to mention a mind-bending body, Emily is a real Jane of all trades, and even with all the attention she’s getting in America, she’s maintaining a cool and typically English head. “I loved every minute I spent at the Playboy Mansion,” she says. “I was supposed to stay for a week, and I ended up staying a month! So far, my Playmate experience has been a dream come true. Being here is bigger than I could dream.” When it comes to men, Emily is just as much her own woman. “In a man, I look for confidence and a sense of personal style,” she says. “I don’t care what his style is, as long as it’s his own. Men in suits are great, but I have a secret thing for workmen – I love a lad who’s rough and ready!” With her photos shared all over the internet – and her brand-new Centerfold in Playboy magazine – our Miss July is certainly one to watch. “Now that I’m a Playmate, my life is going to change,” she says. “It really puts you out there, so I’m hoping to build on that – model, act and travel the world. That’s my dream!”
