Golden State of Mind

This week’s Editor’s Choice gallery and video is all about Playboy’s California girls. Get to know Nastasia Celeste, Mel Green, Jay Marie, Jessie, Kayla Coyote, and Sarissle as we highlight some of our favorite pictorials from them. First, get to know Sarissle, who hails from Inglewood. “I am from Los Angeles — it is both busy and full of community,” she shares. “The community is what I love the most. I always feel so at home, and I am so appreciative of all that I’ve learned [here] growing up.” A model and artist, Sarissle loves the creative process. “My passion is creating,” she says, “I have found that when I create, and it allows me to connect with another person, it fuels me to want to do it again and again.” Next, head north of LA to meet Mel Green, a San Francisco native. “I grew up in the Bay Area,” says Mel, “I love the openness, the uniqueness — it’s a bunch of weirdos who love connecting and creating.” It wasn’t too long into our interview until Mel declared herself one of them. “Three adjectives I would use to describe myself? Adorable, a dork, and open,” she laughs. “My passion is dance and modeling — [these] remind me of who I really am.” Learn so much more about all these ladies who call California home right here on Playboy Plus.
