Meet Aliya Wolf, our Miss February 2004. She’s half German, half Native American, and with her dark hair, blue eyes and high cheekbones, she follows her instincts, animal or otherwise. “If you meet God halfway,” she muses, “he’ll do the rest.” From Stephenville, a small town in north Texas, Aliya started modeling when she was nineteen. She was off to a great start – she was named Miss Houston USA in 1994, and was a spokesmodel on Star Search. One marriage, one child and two cities later, she was back in Texas, and as it happened, so were we – she auditioned for the 50th Anniversary Playmate Hunt, and when Hef saw her picture in the December 2003 issue of Playboy, he put her in the Centerfold. “I want to achieve balance in my career and personal life,” she says. “My family is my number-one priority.” These days, Aliya lives in Texas with her husband and children, and when she’s not working, she’s tending her horses, or testing her horsepower on her Harley-Davidson. “I love to go out and have a good time,” she says, “but I love to stay home, too.” Her ideal man is calm and respectful, but she’s fair-minded – if her man dotes on her with dinner and flowers, she dotes on him with lingerie and heels. “It should come naturally,” she says. We have a feeling that it will.
