Meet Bryiana Noelle. A 22-year-old beauty pageant coach and costume designer from Los Banos, California and also September’s Playmate of the Month. I decided to ask her a few questions, some of which made no sense even to me. Biggest takeaway? Despite being part Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, Native American and Irish, she only speaks one language. The language of love, I mean, English. And not the King’s English. We also share the same celebrity crush. Nina Dobrev. I guess we can never be friends because I will cut a bitch.
I drive by Los Banos every time I go to the Bay. I never knew people lived there. What’s life like over there?
Life in Los Banos is definitely not what you think of when you think of living in California. It’s an agricultural town in the middle of nowhere, but it was a nice little community to grow up in.
How’s life in LA compared to life in Los Banos?
Everything in LA is fast faced, which is the complete opposite of my hometown, and in Los Banos, everybody knows everybody’s business, whereas in LA, it’s so big, you kind of get lost in the crowd, that’s actually a nice feeling sometimes.
Are the people different?
Absolutely. In every possible way. Not to say that Los Banos is a sweet, little town, but Los Angeles people seem to be pretty rude sometimes! (Perhaps built up frustration from sitting in traffic all day, every day? ;) lol.)
You’re Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, Native American and Irish. How many langauges can you speak?
I only speak English. I wish I could speak more languages though!
What are three things people don’t know about you?
Scarier experience: Being chased by a tiger or walking down steep, wet steps in 6-inch heels?
Wet steps in high heels for sure! That’s way too dangerous!!
Favorite show on TV right now?
The Vampire Diaries, hands down!
What’s your male celebrity crush?
Ryan Reynolds.
What’s your female celebrity crush?
Nina Dobrev.
What got you interested in doing Playboy?
Playboy mysteriously landed in my lap. It wasn’t something I desired to pursue until I was given the opportunity, but the fact that Playboy is so classy and tasteful and professional, I knew it was something that I couldn’t let pass me by.
I read you were discovered in a West Hollywood restaurant. Were you eating or working there?
I was eating there with my friends to celebrate my new move to Los Angeles.
Did you ever at any point think: “This is how people end up on the news.”
To be honest, no. That never really crossed my mind.

What was the Playboy experience like?
AMAZING to say the least. My journey has only begun and it has already been like a dream come true, I can’t wait to see what else is in store for me.
Has posing for Playboy opened more doors for you?
Absolutely. I am now in the process of launching my own clothing label and looking into acting, so you may even see me on the big screen someday!
You seem comfortable in your skin. Do you walk around the house naked and are the blinds down or up if you do? My, uh, friend wants to know.
Hahahaha. To be honest, I don’t even like being naked unless I’m in the shower. Weird, huh? But I’m learning how to get in touch with my inner vixen, and by the looks of Playboy’s September issue, I think it’s working.
Dating. Do you do it?
Doesn’t everyone ?
Gone on any memorable ones lately?
I recently took a helicopter ride to an animal shelter just to spread Pet Adoption Awareness, and that was very memorable.
What can a guy do to give you a ladyboner?
Creative surprises. The more creative, the better! But don’t let me find out about it, that ruins the surprise!!
Pretend this is Match.com, how would your dating profile read. Please put it in Haiku form.
This is definitely the hardest question I’ve ever been asked in an interview, and not because I don’t know what a haiku is, but because I suck at poetry, so I found this online, and I think it works well.
“Tender kisses on
Pretty pink places make her
Open like a rose.”
[ed. note: I think this is considered cheating.]
If I asked you out, how happy would you be?
Hahahaha. Well.. I don’t know you?
What’s next for you after Playboy?
Only time will tell. I really want to live in the moment and take advantage of everything that Playboy has in store for me right now, and hopefully that will even pave a new future for me too.
What do you want to be doing 5 years from now?
I see myself with a successful clothing line and maybe having a few roles in movies or TV Shows. But truthfully.. I would love to be a foster mom. I know just how important they are in a child’s life and I want to be the guidance and encouragement that they need in order to create bright futures for themselves.
Do you have any projects coming up?
Right now just working on my clothing label and looking into acting lessons! :)
You can keep in touch with Bryiana through Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
