Sexy DJ Colleen Shannon is Playboy's 50th Anniversary Playmate
CHICAGO, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- After pouring over test shots of
nearly 10,000 hopefuls, Playboy magazine has named Colleen Shannon,
a 25-year-old DJ from California, its 50th Anniversary Playmate.
Miss January 2004 is featured in an eight-page pictorial in
Playboy's Fiftieth Anniversary issue (on newsstands Friday,
November 28). Playboy photographers spent an exhaustive four months
visiting 20 North American cities and scrutinizing the hundreds of
photo submissions, all in search of a woman who invoked both the
classic Playboy beauty and represented the ideal for the next
half-century of Playboy Centerfolds. "It's an incredible honor to
be representing one of the most prestigious men's magazines in the
world," said the Irish/Norwegian/Swedish beauty. "I've wanted to be
a part of Playboy for years and it's thrilling that my dream has
finally come true." Miss January 2004 grew up in the Aleutian
Islands of Alaska and moved to Placerville, California when she was
13 years old. She currently lives in Los Angeles where she works as
a DJ spinning at local clubs and as a guest DJ for events such as
MTV's spring break in Cancun. Colleen has appeared in music videos
by Crazy Town, Blues Traveler and Smash Mouth, and in national
commercials for Pepsi, Nokia, and Miller Genuine Draft. Along with
her title, Colleen receives $50,000 and a BMW R 1150 R Rockster
motorcycle. She also stars in the home video/DVD release, Video
Centerfold: 50th Anniversary Playmate (on sale January 27, 2004),
and will represent Playboy throughout its anniversary year at
personal appearances and special promotions. DATASOURCE: Playboy
