Dakota Simone is a full-time model from Arlington, Texas. “My favorite part about Texas is all the yummy food and good, wholesome people,” shares Dakota of her home state. We first met Dakota through her photographer, Cassandra Keyes, and they shot her features in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “My personality is very bubbly, warm, and loving,” says Dakota of herself. “I like to think of myself as an eternal ancient being. I am a very good listener and love learning about people!” What separates Dakota, though, is her outlook on life. “My passion is love and creativity. I believe that in this lifetime, it is my mission to give and experience unconditional love,” she shares. “I try to do all things out of love and understanding.” Dakota first discovered Playboy with her sister through the magazines. “My dad had quite the collection of magazines,” she says. “My older sister and I would sneak into his office and read them any time our parents weren’t home!” She’s proud to pose for the brand now that she’s here. “Playboy, to me, means vulnerability and freedom. It feels amazing to be a part of this timeless movement,” she says. “I honestly feel much more comfortable posing nude than I do with clothes.” Don’t miss any of Dakota Simone’s features right here on Playboy Plus!
