EXCLUSIVE: Playboy To Announce First-Ever African Playmate Of The Year

Although the official announcement of this year’s Playmate of the Year will be done by Hugh Hefner at an official ceremony tonight at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, Miss March 2008 Ida Ljungqvist reportedly already has the title in the bag.
“Ida won! She is so excited!” a pal of the stunner tells The FABlife.
Ida, 27, was born in Tanzania to a Swedish mother and Tanzanian father. She is the first Playmate born in Africa and is fluent in English, Swedish, and Swahili.
But Ida’s new fame does not come without scandal. Ida recently went through a messy divorce with ex Joshua Lang, with whom she reportedly had a custody battle over their pet chihuahua Bonnie.

It’s about time my @@`$@`!*^#+*`%& I love Hef, but I think he needs to have his head examined because Ida is really unattractive, any one of the other 11 girls would have been a way better choice, even Kayla Collins, and she’s fat. I thought that part of the criteria for being selected as PMOY was beauty, not how much attention/profit selecting the first black PMOY will bring playboy.

Anyone who thinks this chic is not absolutely dropdead hot must ha errectile dysfunction problems. Ida is one of the most desireable women I have ever seen. Look at that face and those huge mellons. I’d take her home to mom dad anytime. I’m white and live in the South. I’d give anything to be with this chic and wouldbe proud of it.
