Erotic Pics Courtesy of PlayboyPlus. Meet New York City native Ivy Rose. A model and all-around artist, Ivy is passionate, open-minded, and talented. I grew up in a family of musicians, artists, models, dancers, actors, writers and directors, she shares of her background. The arts have always been my passion. I never stop exploring different creative outlets, and I refuse to put myself in a box. Modeling is just one of the ways Ivy likes to express herself. Im the type of person that always needs to be creating, she says. Modeling has been a dream come true for me. For Ivy, posing for Playboy means being a part of a larger conversation. What an honor to be part of a cultural icon pushing the envelope since the 50s, she shares. Im excited to be involved in a publication that continues to break down barriers well into the 21st century. Posing nude is not only an act of liberation, but self-love in Ivys eyes. I wasnt always so confident in my skin. Erotic Pics Courtesy of PlayboyPlus. On location of a large and beautiful home in Los Angeles, California, Ivy floats through the courtyard as Damon Loble snaps the camera. “What an honor to be a part of a cultural icon, pushing the envelope since the ’50s when the predominant culture was so sexually repressed,” says Ivy. “I’m excited to be involved in a cultural publication that continues to break down barriers well into the 21st century.” Posing nude is something Ivy does with joy and hopes to influence others by her example. “I love posing nude. I wasn’t always so confident and comfortable in my skin, and I think my immense progress in that is something deserving of celebration,” she shares. “I love my body, not only for how it looks, but what it does for me. Women have expressed to me that my confidence has inspired them to be more comfortable in their own skin and to take better care of their bodies as well.”
