*Ida Ljungqvist* is the *Playboy Playmate* for March 2008, and of course she
won the title of Playboy Playmate of the Year 2009. It is very remiss of me
not to have posted already about one of the hottest playmates ever, so I
better make up for it with some of her hottest pictures, and maybe post a
couple extra! Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood wasn't shopping for
talent when she walked into Bebe in Beverly Hills, but in 26-year-old sales
specialist Ida (pronounced "EE-duh") Ljungqvist she spotted a must-have
item. Sara and Ida got to chatting, and our ad hoc scout realized this one
was more than just an exotic beauty with a flawless figure. As Sara would
later tell Holly Madison, Ida has the spark and flair of a Playmate. Soon
thereafter the Girls Next Door showed up unannounced at the clothing
boutique, camera crew in tow. "I was in total shock when they asked me to
pose," Ida says. "I'm kind of a thrill seeker. Throw me in–I'll
sink or swim!" Such fearlessness is hardly surprising in a woman who lived
in more countries before the age of 18 than most people will ever visit. She
was born in Tanzania to a Swedish father and a Tanzanian mother and, because
of her father's work with UNICEF, grew up in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, South
Africa, Zimbabwe, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, France, the U.K., Sweden and
Denmark. She speaks three languages (English, Swedish and Swahili), has a
degree in fashion design and marketing and plans to study economics, among
other subjects. Ida devotes a lot of time to charity work, a passion she
inherited from Pops. "I'm a really positive person," she says. "My
dad, he's, like, saving the world, so good luck to whoever decides to marry
me! He'll have some big shoes to fill. I love Playboy because I get to meet
people from all over the planet." Ida Ljungqvist Bio Name: Ida Ljungqvist
