Midwestern Charm

Elsa, Erna, Hades, Harley, and Brooke turn on their Midwestern charm in this week’s Editor’s Choice gallery and video. We’re highlighting some of our favorite models who hail from the Heartland, and these ladies let us in on how their hometowns have shaped them into who they are today. First, get reacquainted with Brooke Lorraine from Kenosha, Wisconsin. “It’s a small city right between Milwaukee and Chicago right off Lake Michigan,” says Brooke of where she grew up. “I love how time isn’t really a worry there — everyone is happy doing their own thing!” Brooke’s laid-back character is a direct result of where she is from. “I think I’m a funny and easy-going person,” she says. “I love to make people laugh. I also love helping others.” Next, get to know Harley Dean, our March 2021 All Star. “I’m from Ohio, and I love how peaceful it can be in the quiet,” says the down-to-earth Harley. “I’m such a strong woman today from all the tough [things] I’ve been through in life. I am always evolving and changing to better myself and help those around me.” For Harley, feeling grounded and inspired lies in extending herself to others. “My passion is empowering other women in our communities,” she says. “There is nothing stronger than women helping women.” Get to know all these Midwest natives, right here, only on Playboy Plus.
