Big Dreams
Meet this month’s cover star Anastasia Henesey / @anastasiamarinahenesey
So good to have you join the Playboy family. Can you please tell us a bit about yourself? Well, I’m a fur mama to both my fur babies, Willa my Pitbull, and Texas my Pomeranian. They are my world and I wouldn’t imagine life without them. I also have a Bronco that I drive and I plan on buying a 1969 Chevy Camaro. I love vintage cars so having a collection is a must.
What’s something about you that people might be surprised to learn about? Well, I’m a super outgoing and genuine person. I always help a friend or family member out, just as I was wired.
3 things that you can’t go a day without? It would have to be my Starbucks drink order “ Strawberry Refresher with water only” til the day I die, my Bronco cause I drive it every day pretty much, and scrolling on TikTok.
What is the biggest misconception people have about you? People think I’m a very high-maintenance person or I need to have luxuries in life to be happy when really I’m very low maintenance. Don’t get me wrong I do love the finer things in life and was like that in my younger years but as I get older I tend to change my ways with my day-to-day life and style.
What’s on your bucket list of things you want to accomplish or experience? I think about this question daily cause there is a lot I want to accomplish before I leave this earth. I think the main one would be starring in a movie or TV show, just to say hey that’s me on the screen. The next accomplishment I really want to have is to buy my dream home and renovate it the way I want and just be at peace on a farm.
If you could choose one word to describe your journey as a model so far, what would it be, and why? Grateful because I was given the opportunity to be taken seriously in this industry and I will be forever grateful for this journey I was given.
Can you share any exciting upcoming projects or collaborations you’re involved in? As of right now nothing yet but I do have some great ideas within the next year but that’s a secret for me to keep til then.
What are some of your personal favorite recipes or meals that you enjoy cooking at home? Well sometimes when I cook, I like to change it up and freestyle it even though I would follow the recipe. My personal favorite would have to be bean salads I make or my Greek salads as well.
What are some must-haves in your wardrobe right now? I need my buckle belts and my cowboy boots…I collect them and I feel like it makes me express myself when I wear them out and about.
What is your favorite body part on you? on him? My favorite on mine would have to be my breast, they are my stress balls at heart. But on a man would honestly have to be big arms, I don’t know why they are my fav but it is what it is.
If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I would have to say a tiger cause it’s such a beautiful creature but still totally badass.
That said, what advice would you give to all women regarding love and relationships? With my past experiences, I don’t know if I should give advice as much as tell you what I have learned in my friendships and relationships. The main one I learned was to truly put yourself first before anyone when it comes to making yourself happy and feeling complete. I had to learn the hard way a couple of times but I’m slowly getting to a point of self-love and putting myself first.
In what ways do you use your platform to inspire or influence others? I would have to say the way I inspire people to be the free spirit that they always wanted to be but were too scared to cause of how the world looks at things. To really embrace the female body and feel sexy even if you’re clothed, half-nude, or nude. Just know that everyone is beautiful in their own way.
If you could change any one thing in the world, what would it be and why? I would want to change the violence in this world, theirs been too much death in this world and it’s becoming a scarier place to enjoy too.
Thanks so much for your time. Where can our readers follow you on social to stay updated on what you’re up to? Thank you so much again Playboy and looking forward to hearing from you again. They can follow me on my Instagram @anastasiamarinahenesey or my Snapchat: @stasii09.
