*Alana Campos* is the *Playboy Playmate* for September 2012. Alana Campos
came of age in the Brazilian city of Florianopolis, a subtropical paradise so
spellbinding that it's called the Island of Magic. Among its enchanting
qualities: 42 pristine beaches where dolphins and sea turtles swim and pro
surfers converge to ride world-renowned waves. "it's beautiful there,"
Alana says. "You're completely surrounded by the ocean. Plus everybody is
always smiling. I try to take that happy energy with me wherever I go."
There is, however one problem with Florianopolis. "All the girls are
gorgeous," Alana says. "When you go out at night, you become just another
pretty face. It's very annoying." Nevertheless, Alana's unforgettable
visage caught the attention of Ford Models after she won a series of local
beauty pageants, including one sponsored by her favourite soccer club, Avai.
"I never dreamed of becoming a model," she says, "I actually wanted to
become a flight attendant so I could travel for free. But now I love modeling
because I'm always having fun and looking good." On a lark, she decided
to submit photos to *Playboy*. "I had never shot nude before or even gone
topless on a beach," she says. "To be honest, I wasn't expecting a
response." But within three months of her submission, Hef had selected her
as Miss September. "I feel lucky," she says, beaming. Then with giddy
spontaneity, Alana bursts into a torrent of Portuguese. "/Estou muito feliz
por estar aqui representando a beleza do meu pais Brasil. Esou amando ser uma
Playmate!/" The translation: "I'm very happy to be here representing
the beauty of my country, Brazil. And I love being a Playmate!" Alana
