From Cinderella to Centerfold: Kara Monaco Is Playboy's 2006 Playmate of the Year

LOS ANGELES, May 4 -- Kara Monaco, a former Disney World Snow White and Cinderella, is Playboy's 2006 Playmate of the Year. The blue-eyed, blond haired beauty is featured in a 10-page nude pictorial in Playboy's June issue.

Along with her title, Kara received $100,000 in prize money, a red and black 2006 Honda CBR1000RR sport motorcycle, and a 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee in "Detonator Yellow."

Hugh Hefner presented her with these gifts and he looked in great shape at 80 years old. Last years Playmate of the Year, Tiffany Fallon, was also there with her husband Joe Don Rooney of the band 'Rascal Flatts' who are currently #1 of the Billboard charts. They sang a song on stage to Hugh Hefner.

Kara is a former cast member at the Magic Kingdom. She worked in costume and danced in parades at Disney World as seven different characters including Snow White, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and the Little Mermaid. Kara's sun-kissed good looks caught Playboy's attention and the blond stunner went on to become Miss June 2005. She is the first June Centerfold to be named Playmate of the Year.

Playboy's newest Playmate of the Year is a native of Orlando, Florida and a 2001 graduate of Lake Brantley High School. She is a featured instructor on two Envy series workout videos and has appeared on CSI: Miami and in the pages of Men's Fitness. She is currently based in Los Angeles where she is pursuing modeling and acting work.

Playboy named its first Playmate of the Year, Ellen Stratton, in 1960.

I was booked for jury duty yesterday and missed the Playmate Of The Year Luncheon for the second year in a row.

Last year it was voluntary, it was on 05/05/05 and I had Other Things To Do.

This year I'm just angry.

--t
angry, because there are some people I only see at the Luncheon and I missed them again. Also, the food is very good and there's an open bar.

More great reporting DB ! Thanks for the news. I will have to look into this story more

I can't recall which decades, but I seem to recall that at least two other Playmates worked as characters at Disneyland or Walt Disney World.

Not sure if any of them ever made Playmate of the Year, however.

There's been a couple monthly Playmates who've worked as face characters at either one of the parks.

The issue arrived in today's mail, and frankly, if it weren't for you guys, I'd have handed it to my husband without a thought. But, since I'm going to WDW tomorrow, I filled him in on the story.

If you haven't seen it yet, there's plenty of tiaras...and small pics of her when she was Snow White and Cinderella at WDW.

Um. Woo-hoo?

[Barbossa]

I'd be willing to bet that no one played Cinderella at WDW after being named Playmate of the Year!

I guess dreams do come true for Disney Princesses!
