Shanice Jordyn

We’re head over heels for Playmate Shanice Jordyn, a dental assistant and former point guard from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. All natural, with sweet brown eyes and a hundred-watt smile, Shanice was born in the Mount Rushmore state, and moved to the Southwest when she was in high school. “I live in Tempe, and I love the weather there,” she says. “Hot and sunny all year round. Shorts and tank tops every day!” A waitress on the side, Shanice was clearing plates when she happened to be scouted for our College Issue. “I thought it was a scam,” she admits. “My mom actually encouraged me to do it. So I posed for the Girls of the Pac 12 pictorial, and two weeks later, they called me to test for Playmate. To be honest, I’d never even read an issue of Playboy!” Before she knew it, Shanice was in Southern California, meeting Hef and shooting for the Centerfold as our Miss April 2014. “I never thought that I would become a Playmate,” she says. “I’d never even modeled before, let alone posed nude – but Sasha was great to work with, and it ended up being a lot of fun.” When she’s not working, Shanice is no couch potato – she’s always on the go, and even in her downtime, she’s got a few balls in the air. “I like to keep busy,” she says. “I was an athlete in high school, so I play basketball and run track. Sometimes I’ll just listen to music and chill.” When it comes to men, Shanice is just as focused. “I like smart, athletic guys,” she says. “And tattoos don’t hurt, either. You know, like on an NBA player!” That said, our Miss April is only getting started, and she’s not ready to settle down anytime soon. “I’m not romantic at all,” she says. “Not one bit. I mean, I’m an athlete – my ideal date would be courtside seats at a basketball game. No candlelit dinners for me!” If your dream girl has hoop dreams, then look no further – Shanice Jordyn is your girl, and our Miss April 2014.
