Playboy Playmate Christina Leardini is a curvalicious dollop of pure sultry sex appeal who has been one of the most popular models in the biz since her days as a teenage covergirl. Her luscious good looks and undeniable business savvy have helped her become one of the most successful Internet models around, her breasty bodaciousness winning fans throughout the world. Christina Leardini's modeling career came about in a quite unlikely fashion. When she was discovered by a modeling agency, she was an unwed teenage mother who was working 75 hours per week at three jobs to make ends meet -- as a McDonald's checker by day, a waitress by night, and a hotel maid on the weekends. One look at her voluptuous curves was enough to convince the modeling agency to offer to pay her bills for two months, if she'd agree to quit her various jobs and devote herself to working for them. Needless to say, Christina Leardini jumped at the chance. Within two weeks, Christina Leardini had shot her first magazine cover, and she never did go back to waitressing or cleaning hotel rooms. She was booked solid for the next three years, appearing in commercials, on billboards, and in fashion mags. Christina Leardini had become one of the most successful young models in the biz. Throughout her career, the folks at Playboy had been watching her develop. Once she turned eighteen, they approached her with an offer for a centerfold layout. Christina Leardini wasn't quite ready to make that move yet, though, and it was several years before she finally agreed to shoot any pics for the magazine. Christina Leardini agreed to a cover shoot, then later on decided to come back and shoot a centerfold spread. Her 34C-22-34 curves made her an instant sensation, and Christina Leardini instantly became one of the most sought-after figure models on the scene. She went from wholesome ads for JC Penney, Gap, and Levi to sultry lingerie catalogs and calendars almost overnight. She spent the next four years or so appearing in one half-clothed spread after another, a development she wasn't entirely thrilled with. Christina Leardini somewhat withdrew from the scene, marrying actor Quinn Duffy and having five kids with him. She was briefly a hostess on E!. but left due to one of her numerous pregnancies. Eventually, Christina Leardini decided to take control of her image once and for all. She bought the rights to her modeling name and most of her photos and set up her own web site. She then used the user fees, autograph sales and merchandise money to buy a restaurant in her hometown. While she still occasionally models, most of her time these days is spent working at the restaurant and making up for lost time with her family. Christina Leardini has also branched out into writing, penning a monthly column in a major national magazine under a different name, as well as doing freelance articles and the occasional graphic design assignment. She has parlayed her years as a skin-mag model into a down-to-earth existence as a restaurateur and mother -- bringing her career full-circle, so to speak. Although she rarely models anymore, Christina Leardini remains one of the most gorgeous women on the Internet, and a favorite of fans everywhere who love buxom brunette beauties.
