Playboy
Return to Innocence
It’s impossible to stop daydreaming once you set your eyes on cover girl Milena Milyaeva. On location in Seville, Spain, Milena — or Mila, as her friends call her — is splendidly graceful as she flows from pose to pose, in this intimate and delicate pictorial from the photographer, Ana Dias. “I was nervous at first, but Ana, her team and I became good friends during the shoot,” she shares with a smile. As for posing nude for her first ever Playboy photoshoot, Mila finds it beautiful. “It’s a very easy and natural state to be in,” she says. But despite looking immensely seductive and voluptuous at 19 years old, Milena admits she can be a bit timid: “I tend to touch my nose when I feel a bit shy or lost”.
When she’s not modeling, Mila is an animal rights activist and you’ll likely find her working in an animal shelter or raising awareness for animal rights. Our muse also loves to travel, both for work and just for fun. “My modelling experience gives me the opportunity to get to know the world in its incredible variety, which fills me with so many magical emotions,” Mila shares.
Now go right ahead and take a peek into her dream world.

Wet Sand
Enjoy the stunning ocean views alongside the radiant Playboy Playmate Kim Shinobi in this sun-soaked pictorial. Captured by photographer Ana Dias on the southern coast of Portugal, Kim joyfully spends her day on the beach, running freely through the wet sand.
Despite her Vietnamese roots, Kim was born in Germany and has called Berlin home for the past three years. She’s passionate about acting, exploring film, theater, and improvisation. Beyond performing, Kim enjoys coaching and teaching acting techniques to both kids and adults. But her ambitions don’t end there. “I want to study medicine or neuroscience soon, aiming to blend my studies with acting. I believe in the healing power of acting and hope to bring that into the field of medicine,” she shares.
Although she possesses extraordinary and delicate beauty, Kim has always been humble about her looks. “I would say I’m not a classic beauty. My appearance is certainly a matter of taste. I think what makes me attractive is my charisma. I’m confident and charismatic,” she shares.
When she’s not in front of the camera, Kim has a variety of hobbies she enjoys. “I’m a very spiritual person, I meditate a lot and do yoga. I enjoy being in nature and love traveling. I’ve also had a passion for literature since I was young.” Additionally, cooking is another one of her great passions. “I love cooking, and I also enjoy cooking for others – because I have Asian roots and am currently exploring my culture, especially in this regard.”
Join Kim Shinobi on a journey of sand, water and sensuality as she dazzles in the June 2023 Issue of Playboy Germany.

Bezaubert von Cathy
On the first of May 2023 I flew to Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands – a Spanish archipelago just off the coast of West Africa. I had been to the Canary Islands before, but not to this particular island and I was super excited to get there. The tiny volcanic Lanzarote is a place that everyone in Portugal, my home country, has heard about. The reason for its popularity back home is because the only Nobel Prize winner in Literature in the Portuguese language, José Saramago, lived his final years there. I’m a huge Saramago fan, so to be able to see with my own eyes where he lived and where he wrote many of my favorite books had a very special significance for me. But literature aside, the reason for this trip was to shoot the cover star for Playboy Germany, aka the longest running and most successful of all international editions of Playboy. I’ve been doing it for more than a decade now, but it still feels like a dream everytime I shoot for Playboy. I sometimes have to pinch myself to make sure it’s real! Wow!
The model was the beautiful Cathy Hummels, a well known German TV presenter, influencer, IT girl and entrepreneur, together with her sister Vanessa Fischer. Shooting beautiful and strong women is always a thrill! And the sisters were so kind and easy to work with that the shoot unfolded very naturally and smoothly.
The location was the famous Lagomar house, an amazing property that, as the story goes, once belonged to Omar Sharif and was lost in a high-stakes game of cards. I’m not sure if that story is true, but I am sure that it’s one of the coolest locations ever. It was such a privilege to wonder about and photograph Cathy and Vanessa there!
