*Summer Altice* is the *Playboy Playmate* for August 2000. Summer decided to
pursue the modeling and acting career she began in 1995 when she won YM's
cover girl contest. She signed with Elite modeling agency and landed
assignments with Mossimo, Guess, Mademoiselle and Bally's fitness clubs.
"The thing about modeling is, if you become a deer in the headlights about
the fame, parties and meeting people, it will overcome you," she says. She
appreciates it when people tell her that she resembles actresses Carol Alt
and Elizabeth Hurley, and she is currently auditioning for her breakout role.
Summer is currently seeing an up-and-coming actor she describes as the most
amazing person she's ever met. "He's given me reasons to look beyond
Hollywood and to look inside myself and, like he says, 'be the queen you
are.' I don't want to tell you his name because people knowing his
business is not something he's used to." Can't she give us a hint about
the lucky guy? "Is it getting hot in here?" she says with a sly grin.
Miss August likes to hit the town with her friends and enjoy good music. "I
host a club at a bar on Sunset on Saturday nights," she says. "I'm a
Capricorn — I love doing things for people." So who helps her get her
groove on? "Dr. Dre, Destiny's Child, Fiona Apple and Faith Hill," she
says. "I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music, but I'm more of a
hp-hop, ghetto girl. I grew up around boys who were ghetto fabulous, so I
kind of acquired the same taste in music. I'm a good singer and if I had
the opportunity to do a demo or a song, I would take it in a heartbeat. I can
be in a bad mood and put on Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope and — boom! —
I'm better." Summer Altice Bio Name: Summer Altice Birthplace: Fountain
