Amanda Paige

Meet Amanda Paige, our Miss October 2005. She’s tall – 5’9 – with blonde hair, blue eyes and natural breasts, all thanks to her English, German and Swedish heritage. From Fayetteville, North Carolina, this Southern belle is a graduate of the University of Virginia, with a bachelor’s in sociology – and when it comes to the sociology of a bachelor, she gets an A, and not for effort. “Guys come up to me all the time,” she says. “It just happens.” Amanda came to Playboy in 2004 – or rather, Playboy came to Amanda – when we recruited her for our Girls of the ACC pictorial. “I had never modeled before,” she says. “I never thought that my first shoot would be for Playboy.” And that first shoot would not be her last – she was named Coed of the Week, and when Hef saw her picture, he named her Miss October 2005. She appeared on the cover of the September 2007 issue of Playboy, a credit not accorded to every girl. “Being a Playmate has been a great experience,” she says. “I really learned a lot.”
