Jayded

Announcing the 2008 Playmate of the Year pictorial, featuring our newly crowned leading lady, Jayde Nicole. Turns out the rumors were true, and the leaked cover was the real thing. Jayde was uncovered as 2008's PMOY, and has gotten rave reviews from fans. Many went so far as to say that this was one of the few times when Playboy got it right. Well, I might agree with that, given the last two years' choices of Sara Jean Underwood and Kara Monaco, two odd choices. This year, it seems, the folks at Playboy made the right decision.

Jayde has everything it takes to be a true PMOY superstar. She has the body, she has the exotic appeal, and she has the talent to make it big and offer memorable photos. She did just that in her PMOY debut, putting out an assortment of very engaging and interesting photos that show off this gorgeous Canadian girl in a different light than we saw in her PMOM installment at the beginning of 2007.

Jayde starts off her 2008 reign with a couple of clothed photographs. They do a great job of showing off what's possibly Jayde's most intriguing asset: her angelic and radiant face. She looks amazing in this first photo, looking as bright as ever. Same as in her second offering, where she looks stunning in a purple slip robe.

Her next motif is the car wash theme, where I thought she would've been better served if her hair was let down. It looks like her hair grew a bit since we last saw her, and that just gives her a more full, feminine feel that makes her that much more desirable. It then shifts over to a great photo showcasing her dark locks, also with fantastic lighting on her breasts.

What I thought was the best showcase of the "new" look of Jayde was in her shower photos, where an interesting look from her sexy face was followed by a polished look at her smooth, fully nude body. Photo 10 is just an excellent and natural pose that really shows off Jayde's talent, and offers a great view of her fit, cut, and curvy body. It has all the right lines in all the right spots, and really proves to be worthy of the PMOY crown.

Other sexy views of Jayde do a lot to further her image, but don't really do much to get a natural, intimate look at this amazing girl. It's not Jayde who's at fault, but the pictorial just doesn't have that natural feel that you crave from these girls, and it's a problem that occurs with all the PMOY pictorials. Great photos like this intimate one (a theme that I wish they pursued more with the outfit), which moves into this angelic pose (does a great job of showing off that flowing hair), and then this fierce look towards the camera... undeniably sizzling.

The pictorial finishes with some looks at her long, sinewy body, getting a little darker and more intimate with the lovely lady. Bent over, legs spread, she does it all.

Bottom line is, Jayde Nicole is a pure gem. Playboy hit the jackpot right away last year, and no one else really truly ever measured up, with the exception of possibly Brittany Binger or Spencer Scott. Jayde was, however, the right choice. She's unique and memorable. She looks like an enduring Playboy icon, and not just another lucky girl like 2006's Kara Monaco or last year's Sara Underwood. This one's special, and I just wish she came out with more pictorials that show off even more of her variety of looks. This pictorial just didn't do her justice, although it almost nearly hit the spot.

Again, congrats to the lovely Jayde. My only hope is that next year's PMOY will be nearly as lovely as she's been, and we see more of her in the future.




Consensus... B+

Jayde was my choice for 2008 PMOY. She´s wonderful. And I agree with you, she´s the best choice since Tiffany Fallon in 2005. But I don´t know if you agree with me, but this year we already have 6 playmates (counting Mis June Juliette Frette) and till now I am very disapointed with the 2008 class. No one of them got me "that way". So let´s see what´s coming in these next 6 months.

Good call on Jayde. I've come to realize that she was the right pick for PMOY all along. 2008 has been disappointing so far... not much real big talent. But the year's only been half over, and Valerie Mason makes me excited, as does the rumored Miss July, Laura Croft:

Laura looks fantastic! Can't wait.

Thanks for the link. Laura is a pretty girl but not that much like Valerie Mason is. I truly hope that Valerie becomes a playmate FOR YESTERDAY!!!

Juliette Frette is possibly the hottest woman to pose for Playboy this century. I am not exaggerating. She has a great natural look, curvy body and that special something.

I will add that though Jayde wasn't my first choice, I still think it's a pretty good one. She is young, fresh, slightly exotic and her boob job isn't terrible. My pick was Lindsay Wagner but she didn't seem very popular.

My pick was Jayde and the only other PMOY I wouldn't have been disappointed with would have been Brittany Binger. I am also waiting for Valerie Mason's pictorial. Kayla Collins is rumored to be Miss August 2008.

Jaydes pictorial was awesome. But what made it awesome was her face and bod. She has just got "it" going on from head to toe. Jayde amazed me with the waterfall scene. That has to be one of the hottest sets this decade. Also worth noting is her "Mediterranean" themed set. The pic from that set that was featured in the magazine was just breathtaking. I also liked the white stairs set and the white room. Her dark hair and tan body goes nice with all the white in the background. My choices for 2008 PMOY were: 1-Lindsay Wagner, 2-Spencer Scott, 3-Sasckya Porto, 4- Brittany Binger. I never expected Jayde to win at all. Some sites were saying Sasckya won it and others said Brittany but none said Jayde took it, so I was a little surprised. But she for sure deserves it every bit and her cover is worth framing to the wall...
