Ali Chanel

From losing her virginity at the age of 27 to finding her confidence as a model and a mother, our August 2020 Playmate has boldly forged her own path. Ali had a blast on set, which shines through in her photos. “I got to embrace my sensuality and feel sexy and glamorous,” she told us in her August 2020 interview. “As a busy mom, I rarely get the chance to get dolled up, so it was a lot of fun for me.” For Ali, this shoot wasn’t just like any other — it was a chance to be an example for both models and mothers out there. “Society tells moms we aren’t sexy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth,” she said. “I hope moms read my story and see my photos and feel empowered to tell their stories and embrace their bodies.”
