Michele Rogers

Michele Rogers packs a real Hawaiian punch. Petite at five feet, three inches, with dark hair and a broad smile, Michele owes her beauty to an exotic mix of Hawaiian and European heritage. Born in Honolulu, Michele was raised in Michigan, a move she describes as a bit of a culture shock. "I like to back to Oahu or Maui a couple of times a year," she admits. A makeup artist by trade, Michele's first-ever modeling gig was a nude spread for Playboy, and our Miss June 2002 doesn't regret it one bit. "I feel comfortable being nude," she says, carefree. "If this leads to other modeling jobs, I'll go for it!" True to her Hawaiian roots, Michele is goofy and easygoing, and she loves to surround herself with family and friends. In the absence of a beachfront cottage, she contents herself with memories of the ocean and Hawaiian rainforest. "I miss the laid-back vibe of the locals," she says. "My goal is to lead a happy, healthy and prosperous life. I see myself surrounded by loved ones!" Count us in, Miss Rogers.
