Lindsey Gayle grew up in the small town of Blanchard, Louisiana. She began her modeling endeavors by competing in beauty pageants at the tender age of 11. By the age of 16 she had won her first title in her hometown pageant, Miss Blanchard. It may have been a small title, but it set the stage for what was to come. Lindsey went on to compete and win the title of Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2008 at the age of 18. In August of that same year, she competed in Miss Teen USA 2008 where she placed 3rd runner up out of all 51 contestants. Lindsey decided it was time to try something a little more daring and headed off to Chicago, Illinois to shoot a test to become a Playboy Playmate. She eventually made it and was named Miss October 2009 by Hugh Hefner. Since being named a Playboy Playmate, Lindsey has continued to travel all around the world. Her most recent booking was for a beverage commercial that will air across Asia in which Lindsey starred as Marilyn Monroe. Lindsey plans to continue modeling, but would eventually like to transfer into acting. One of her other interests would be to open an animal shelter where she would rehabilitate cats and dogs and help them find new owners who will love them. Lindsey admits she is still young and really wants to explore her boundaries and travel worldwide in search of her life’s true calling. Well, wherever she ends up, we know she’ll definitely look good getting there.

1.What’s your Ethnicity?

I’m Caucasian: a mix of French, German and a lot of other stuff.

2.What’s your zodiac sign?

Sagittarius.

3.Where are you from originally?

I’m a true southern girl at heart. [smile] I was born in a small town in Texas called Paris and moved with my mother to an even smaller town in Louisiana called Blanchard.

4.What did you like most about growing up in the Louisiana?

I liked the atmosphere and the size! Everyone knows everyone and most of the people are really nice. I went to kindergarten through high school graduation with almost all of the same people in my class! I also liked how it wasn’t too far away from the bigger cities like Shreveport and Bossier City. I could just hop right on the interstate and go ten miles and it was a whole different world!

5.What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?

I was an extremely well behaved child. I was always acting silly, but always respectful and polite; I never pitched a fit if I didn’t get my way! I have a handful of brothers so I played a lot of sports, which I believe kept me out of trouble; although, trouble finally found me around 18 years old. After a Minor in Possession of Alcohol at a Mardi Gras parade, being cited for trespassing on my best friend’s property while he was away on family vacation, and being arrested for marijuana possession all in one year, I’m pretty sure I got in enough trouble in 12 months to last a lifetime! At 21 years old, with a clean record now, I think it’s safe to say I’m a good girl again. [smile]

6.What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

That would have to be bungee jumping off the Harbor Bridge in Auckland, New Zealand this spring! I’m a huge thrill seeker and always jump at the opportunity to do something crazy! But so far, jumping off a bridge takes the cake! I was the only girl in the group and last to jump because I weighed the least. All the guys were so scared to jump off; they just gradually let themselves fall, so I had to show them all up by doing a full on swan dive! Next time I go, I swear I’ll get a running start!

7.What’s your favorite hobby and why?

I’m not sure if this could be classified as a hobby or not, but I really love keeping my Twitter and Facebook pages updated! It could totally be a full-time job! It’s so easy to keep up with what I’m doing or what city I’m in because I am always updating Twitter and my Facebook fan page. I always write everyone back! I always say, “If they have the time to post a sweet comment on my page, I have the time to write them back!” It’s a simple way to show how much I appreciate all the love from my fans. So if y’all are reading this now, go to my fan page and after you ‘like’ my page, write me something sweet and I’ll be sure to write you back. I really am only calling social networking a hobby because I love to keep up with and keep in touch with all my family, friends and fans so much!

8.What’s your guilty pleasure?

It’s probably coloring in my coloring book! [laugh] I know that sounds completely out there, but it’s something that relaxes me. I can just lay there and think about stuff or not even think at all! I just cuddle up, surround my self with Crayola and get to work. My current masterpiece is a Lisa Frank coloring book full of leopard print puppies riding rainbows, kittens and unicorns eating ice cream cake. I guess it’s just something that takes me back to being a kid and not having a care in the world.

9.Who do you admire?

I know it seems like every girl say this, but the person I admire most in life is my mommy. She is such an incredible, inspiring and talented woman. She has been there with me and for me with every move I make. I love everything she cooks and pretty much everything she touches just turns to gold. I mean she’s like my personal seamstress! Anytime I need something fixed with any of the many clothes in my wardrobe, she fixes it better than new! If I need something special made for an event, she’s on it and staying up late every single night until it’s complete! She does anything and everything she can for me. She is my best friend and I love her so much!


10.What’s one of your personal goals?

To become a Victoria’s Secret model. I love shopping there and always try to go have a look around in any VS I see while traveling! I watch the Victoria’s Secret fashion show religiously every year and drool over those super sexy women and their larger than life costumes. I feel that I could be extremely successful at this because of my pageant modeling history, modeling experience, confidence and people skills. Or, I could always settle to model for the catalogue. [smile]

11.What do guys compliment you on the most?

On my eyes, but usually the comments are about my overall appearance. A lot of times all a guy can say is, “Damn!” I really pride myself on looking put together all the time. A lot of times guys will tell me I’m really beautiful, but also very approachable so they just can’t help but talk to me. But I’m a nice person and I treat all people like human beings so if you’re brave enough to come talk to me, respectfully, then I’m nice enough to at least be courteous to you. [smile]

12.What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

My décolletage…the area of skin below my neck and above my boobs. [smile] I really don’t know why, but I just love it! To me, it’s the classiest piece of skin to show along with arms and shoulders. There’s nothing like a good strapless top with sky-high cleavage, am I right?

13.What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

My hands! I have big hands accompanied by long fingers. Not cool. But good thing we just got a new piano for our house! Now I can take some lessons and put these man hands to good use!

14.What do you look for in a guy?

I’ve never “looked” for a guy, per se, but I can appreciate a man who is masculine, exudes confidence and is charming. For example, a guy can be in great shape physically, but if I notice he’s got some insecurities, I immediately get turned off. Your confidence should speak for itself, not the other way around. A guy who is charming and can make me laugh is always a plus. I love to laugh—who doesn’t?

15.What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

The first thing I notice about a guy is his smile.

16.What’s your ideal first date?

My ideal first date is meeting up for dinner at a quiet restaurant and just spending hours in a cozy booth talking and sharing snacks. Let’s skip the long beach walk though; I’m not much for working up a sweat. I’d rather have a foot massage. And instead of going to see a movie at the theater, I’d much rather watch it at home where we can get close and comfy on the fur rug in the living room next to the fireplace. [smile]

17.What turns you on?

It turns me on when my guy lets himself be vulnerable. When he lets his guard down, flashes me a sweet smile and scoots right in front of me so he’s the front spoon—I just melt. I love a sweetheart, romantic type of guy—one that doesn’t have a problem with PDA. Another turn on of mine is his smell!

18.What turns you off?

When guys are mean. If a guy is mean to me then of course it’s game over. But when you are mean to other people too, that really says a lot about your character. If you get annoyed when one person cuts in front of you in line, or if you blow up because you have to slow your walking pace because you’re behind a sweet old lady, then you just have too short of a fuse for me.

19.What’s your biggest pet peeve?

When radio stations stop playing music to say they play continuous hit music. Stop right there, you’ve already lied to me! That’s probably why I don’t listen to the radio, or watch TV.

20.Who’s your celebrity pass?

Without a doubt, the most amazing music producer ever to walk the face of the earth: The one and only Deadmau5. He is so intelligent and so unique. And so damn good looking! I’m lucky enough to say that we have been dating, living and touring together for the past year. I’ve been loving every single second of it! Meeting him was an absolute dream come true, but getting to date him, live with him, tour with him and wake up with him everyday is just icing on the cake! I just hope he knows how much I love and adore him.
