Slovenian Playmate Sarah Merčnik enjoys a day at sea – in the nude, no less – in this pictorial by photographer Ivana Krešić. Petite and all natural, with black hair and sparkling blue eyes, Sara made a name for herself as Playboy Slovenia’s Miss November 2011, and with this pictorial she graduated to Playmate of the Year 2012. “Ever since I can remember, I’ve been a nudist,” she says. “When I was a kid, I would take off my bathing suit and run naked into the water. I really have no problem with nudity!” As evidenced by this revealing pictorial – Miss Merčnik’s body is truly remarkable, and she makes a crack-up first mate. “When I sent my photos to Playboy, I was hoping for the best,” she says. “It all came true! When I found out I was the girl of the year, I was delighted – I felt like my sails were full of wind!”
