Gia Genevieve by Ellen von Unwerth for Playboy March 2015

Gia Genevieve is a blonde bombshell for the Instagram age. Take Marilyn Mоnroe's fair hair, Annа Nicole’s smile and Jayne Mаnsfield’s bust, add a bit of vintage inspiration and a modern twist, and there she is—Gia Genevieve, the world-renowned pinup and lingerie model. “Jayne and Annа Nicole are two of my inspirations,” acknowledges Gia. FYI: Her favorite movie, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, stars another one of her icons, Marilyn Mоnroe. “They made sexuality something not to be ashamed of but embraced,” explains Gia. “The tease of what’s underneath is so much more exciting than seeing a woman in the nude.” With measurements like hers—32G-26-36, to be precise—Gia was made to break that tired old size 0 mold. How refreshing to see a lingerie model embracing her God-given bust and curves, indulging in a good old-fashioned bit of pinuppery. Though it’s safe to say that she’s already on her way, a cover feature in the March 2015 issue of Playboy certainly didn’t hurt—like her heroines Marilyn, Jane and Anna, may Gia Genevieve’s star be ever on the rise.
