Back in her home country of the Ukraine, Playmate Dasha Astafieva made her debut with this set of sultry photos from photographer Alexander Morderer. Originally featured as a Ukrainian Playmate in April 2006, and then PMOY in 2007, we were only too happy to invite Dasha to America, where she became Miss January 2009. Similarly, we’re pleased to feature her original Playboy pictorial, never before seen on Playboy Plus. “I have dreamed of being an American Playmate since I first saw the magazine,” Dasha told us in her Playmate File. “A woman I admire is Bettie Page. She became the first and best in my favorite style of pinup.” In little makeup and even fewer items of clothing, Dasha approximates Bettie’s style in the sexiest possible way—faced with these photos, no red-blooded man would fail to fantasize about beautiful, natural and oh-so-tantalizing Dasha Astafieva.
