Natalia Sokolova(I)

Tall (5'11"), busty, and statuesque blonde bombshell Natalia Sokolova was born on October 15, 1976 in Moscow, Russia. Her grandfather was a renowned inventor. Both of her parents are PhD academics (her mother is an award-winning scientist). Sokolova represented Russia in Japan as a Peace Child and won a language competition organized by the Moscow State University. Natalia studied at Springbrook High School in Maryland as a foreign exchange student. She graduated cum laude from the University of Maryland in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science, International Business, and Finance. After competing in the Hawaiian Tropics International Swimwear Pageant, Sokolova was approached by "Playboy" to pose as a centerfold. Natalia was the Playmate of the Month in the April, 1999 issue of the famous men's magazine. She went on to appear in several "Playboy" videos and posed for a few newsstand special editions. Sokolova has small parts in the movies "Role of a Lifetime," "Swordfish," and "Boat Trip." Natalia has since retired from modeling: Besides owning and operating the events planning business Exquisite Planning, LLC in New York City, she also is the Chief Financial Officer for SGG World, LLC, which is a company that connects project owners and financial investors for the development of waste management, mining, and real estate projects in Dubai, Russia, the Ukraine, and other CIS countries.
