Victoria was born close to the Arctic Circle in the North of Sweden on 19, September 1974. With the very long dark cold winters and short-bright summers. Most of the time I spent up in the Alps Skiing, or in the woods riding her horses! She never looked at herself and thought she was pretty! -not until her early teens when she started to blossom, and older guys started to make the move, but she was so busy training for the Swedish youth team in skiing and with school. So she didn’t spend her time flirting a lot!
Her first boyfriend was wild and her parents didn’t like her to hang-out with him --so every night she had to sneak out of the window to see him. SheI grew up listening to Rock groups like Metallica and Bon Jovi and she went to a lot of concerts!
When she turned 15 her sister, Veronica, sent in pictures of her to the "Miss Hawaiian Tropic" pageant. Even though she was very shy, she took the challenge and went for it! --After she finished 2nd, I signed up with a modeling agency in Stockholm, :Mikas."
Although she didn’t have a lot of self-confidence, in 1993 she went for the "Miss Sweden" contest. She ended up going to the final in South Africa for the "Miss World" pageant that same year! SheI came to the final Top 10 --out of 85 contestants!
After Graduating High School, she was so ready to leave her Village and see the world. Her first stop was Paris, where she ended up staying for 3 years. Her modeling career took off and she did Fashion shows for big design houses and working ELLE and Vogue. She also did campaigns for cloths, underwear and hair products. She was traveling all over the world --from Russia to Poland, Tzjechslovakia, Lebanon, Africa, Spain, Asia and the US. You name it!
The reason she is where she is today: It’s a long story... --Well, she was doing a photo shoot with a beautiful model, Jennifer Driver, who’s been on the cover of Playboy. Jennifer sent her picture to the LA Playboy office, and a few days later they called and wanted her to fly out for a test shoot! She figured her secret would be safe, but little did she know, she was so nervous for her test shoot that she fainted! She thought they would send her back home --but they kept her for months to shoot a video and Centerfold --Miss December 1996.
She lived in the Playboy Mansion with Hef and Kimberly and some other Playmates. It was a wild time! Soon after her Centerfold came out, they named me "Playmate of the Year" --and she haven’t looked back ever since!
After Being named Playmate of the Year, she signed a 2 year Guess contract as a spokes model and she did 4 campaigns that’s been published in Elle, Marie Clare and Mademoiselle Magazine and on various posters and shopping bags! She have also had the opportunity to appear in a few movies and she appeared on two episodes of Melrose Place and the TV shows "Black Scorpion" as a fighting villain, "Unhappily Ever-After" and "Malibu CA."
She hosted the "Sex Appeal" show on VH1, the ‘Real World" on MTV and "The Gossip Show" on E. But most fun of all, she have also been fooling people on "Candid Camera."
In England I’ve been hosting a TV show on Channel 4 called "Euro Trash" --it’s kinda like "Saturday Night Live" --lots of crazy humor!
I’ll be back soon!
