Sascha Aleksander

Sascha was born during the fall of the Berlin Wall, a time she says defined her as a product of the New Russia. She grew up in Moscow amid the shift from Communism to a free market, and she recalls the city as a vibrant center of art and culture. In her own words, she spent time in art museums, and Van Gogh's Les Alyscamps is among her favorite paintings. She describes Moscow as "so much more than the capital," a place with beautiful architecture and fascinating people. After moving to California, she worked as a contract model, but she considered herself a serious artist who only took assignments that interested her. When not shooting, she enjoyed dinner, drinks, and art shows with girlfriends, or staying in to play Xbox with the guys. She spoke about her experiences with both men and women in a Facetime interview. Though her professional modeling career was short, she earned credibility working with Playboy, which she called the world's best gentlemen's publication. She believed a woman's body is a work of art and appreciated the opportunity to display it tastefully. Today, she is remembered as a former Playboy Cybergirl from the early 2010s.
