Biography
About Cristy Thom
Cristy Thom is an American artist and former centerfold with roots in Los Angeles, California. Born on September 8, 1971, she grew up in a family marked by divorce, and at fifteen she left high school to live with a boyfriend who ran an auto-parts business in the San Fernando Valley. That early independence foreshadowed a path that would soon lead to national recognition.
In 1991, at age nineteen, Thom sent pictures to Playboy and was chosen as Playmate of the Month for February, with her centerfold photographed by Arny Freytag. She went on to appear in numerous Playboy videos and held the title of Playmate of the Year for the Dutch edition in 1992. Her appeal spanned international editions as well, as she was named Playmate of the Month in Australia, Hungary, Italy, Brazil, and Germany during that same year. Her measurements were 36–23–36, with a slim build, and she stood 5'6" tall.
Today, Thom is better known as a realist painter, having shifted her focus from modeling to art. She remains active in creative pursuits, though she is no longer a centerfold. With black hair and brown eyes, her Asian ethnicity and natural figure were notable during her time as a model. She is 54 years old and straight. Her Instagram presence is modest, with around 1,000 followers. Her legacy as a Playboy Playmate from 1991 endures, but her current identity is that of an artist dedicating herself to painting. The years active were brief, just 1991 to 1993, yet that period left a lasting impression on the modeling world.
