Victoria Zdrok
Dr. Victoria Zdrok is a world renowned model, actress, internet webmistress and an expert in human sexuality. As a model, she catapulted to fame as a Playboy Playmate (October 1994) and a Penthouse Pet (June 2002), one of only two women ever to hold both titles, and was recently named as Penthouse's Pet of the Year 2004. Before becoming Playboy's first Russian-born centerfold, Victoria emigrated from the Ukraine at the age of 16 and was the first foreign exchange student allowed to travel from the former Soviet Union. Earning her B.A. from West Chester State University at the age of 18, she embarked on a joint law and psychology graduate program at Villanova Law School and Drexel University prior to getting into modeling. Since her appearance in Playboy, she has appeared on six Playboy foreign edition covers and in numerous Playboy Special Editions, appearing on three covers and being named a BOL Readers' Choice Model in 1998. More recently, has achieved even greater fame as a Penthouse Pet.

Her appearance in Penthouse led to her being featured as a centerfold in five more men's magazines (making her the most decorated centerfold in history); and she was the overwhelming choice of both the fans and the editorial staff of Penthouse to become Pet of the Year for 2004. Her POY issue is due out in January; and it will undoubtedly lead to further media appearances in the future. In addition to her work as a centerfold model, Victoria has numerous credits as the cover model for romance novels, as a model for bridal fashions and lingerie, as a featured guest on radio and TV shows, and as a spokesmodel for many products and services.

While still in graduate school, Victoria opened her pioneering internet site, www.PlanetVictoria.com, which has set the standard for each of the last 5 years as the best model fan site on the 'Net. Doing most of the design and page creation by herself, she has put together one of the largest and most comprehensive glamour photography sites, featuring nearly 10,000 pictures and videos of not only herself, but also of over 60 of the most sought-after other Playmates, Pets and internet models. Her site was also one of the first to offer streaming video webcam chats, original stories, historical pagentry, costumed photo sets and behind-the-scenes commentary on the modeling scene. Her site is updated weekly with over 100 new photos and commands a fan loyalty and devotion which is extraordinary for a personal modeling site.

But those accomplishments are only a sidelight to her growing reputation as a "sexpert." Having earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Drexel in addition to her J.D. from Villanova, Dr. Zdrok is currently writing her first book, "Understanding Sexual Fantasy," which delves into the roles that fantasizing plays in human sexual thought and behavior. Featuring a comprehensive review of all of the extant psychological studies of sexual fantasy and incorporating her own unique view of how the human mind deals with sexual desire, her book should prove to be a milestone in the literature on the psychology of sex. To accompany and extend the concepts of her book, Dr. Zdrok is also developing what should prove to be the definitive relationship site on the internet, Love-Sex-Dating.com. Her new site will collect expert commentary from all over the globe and be highly interactive, allowing frank and open discussion of the issues which affect the emotional well-being of men and women everywhere. In addition, Dr. Zdrok is writing, directing and starring in a new sex education video, which will demonstrate and explain the sexual techniques which will allow both sexes to maximize their pleasure and that of their partners. She also plans to have her own TV and radio shows on which she can advise and assist viewers and listeners in dealing with their romantic and sexual problems. Through her writing, her internet site, and her other media ventures, Dr. Zdrok hopes to reach a wide audience and to bring about a new "sexual revolution" which will enable everyone to openly confront, understand and deal with their innate desires for love, affection, relationships and sexual pleasure.

In short, Dr. Zdrok is that "rarity of rarities," a combination of breathtaking physical beauty with a scintillating intellect and a penetrating insight into human sexual behavior. Added to that is her compassionate and empathetic nature, which makes her beloved by fans and colleagues alike. Move over Dr. Ruth; your successor is taking center stage!
