Today, let's meet Michelle Baena, a bikini and glamour model originally from Muncie, Indiana, but now living in San Diego, California. As a child, Michelle from place to place, first living in Indiana, then moving to Oklahoma, then to Folsom, California, before settling in a small town in Kansas. She spent her high school years in Kansas admiring her hero, supermodel Christie Brinkley, and she dreamed of becoming a supermodel or Playboy playmate. After graduating from high school, she moved to California to pursue her dream of modeling; however she got sidetracked by life events and started a family instead. After being a devoted mother to her three children, at age 31 she finally decided to pursue her dream of becoming a model. She did some local bikini and lingerie modeling gigs, and she entered her local area Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageant, as well as other bikini pageants. She initially did not have much success landing modeling gigs, though, being told that she was too tan, not tan enough, not tall enough, not athletic enough, etc.
However, her big break came in 2005, courtesy of Playboy magazine. At that time, the hit new show on television was
Desperate Housewives, and Playboy decided to capitalize on the popularity of the show by sponsoring their own “Real Desperate Housewives” search. Michelle sent in a few bikini to Playboy, and they were so impressed that they invited her in to shoot some photos for the magazine, and she appeared on the May, 2005 cover. This led to her being featured in several fitness magazines, as well as Mystique and Rockstar magazines. She was later made a member of the USA National Bikini Team. while she has been thrilled with the events since her appearance in Playboy, she realizes that her career is just beginning, and she has a lot of goals that she has yet to accomplish.
