Patricia Ford was born March 17, 1969, in Honolulu,
Hawaii. With a diverse background consisting of Chinese,
Hawaiian, Portuguese, German, and Irish, Patricia must
be fascinated by her world travels while on modeling
assignments.

Patricia has done an extensive list of work for Mr.
Hefner. Her work with the bunny magazine includes the
following: The cover of a German Playboy's March 1996
edition; the cover of Australian Playboy's July 1996
edition; 12 issues of Playboy's Book of Lingerie, from
January 1993 to June 1996, not including the 50th Issue
Anniversary Special. She was named Playboy's Book of
Lingerie Model of 1996.
Patricia also has other Playboy Specials on her resume:
Bathing Beauties in '93, '94 and '95; Girls of Summer
in '93, '94 and '96; and Blondes, Brunettes & Redheads
in '93; Beauty Queens in '94; and Hot Denim Daze in
'95.
Besides the notorious Playboy, Patricia has appeared
in many adult magazines, such as High Society and Club
International (both times as Brandi), Men's World, Men
Only, Spice, Model Directory, Club, and Cheri Undercover.
As 5-time winner of the Bikini Open ('88, '91, '92,
'93, '95), Patricia appeared in the Bikini Open videos,
as well as 1990's The Hawaiian Swimsuit Edition, Playboy's
How to Reawaken Your Sexual Powers, Secretarial Pool,
Exotic Encounter, and Unexpected Pleasure, as well as
1996's Patricia Ford; Hawaii's International Supermodel
Video Magazine.
Crossing over to television, Patricia's television
credits include Raven, Birds of Paradise, One West Waikiki,
Extra, and Entertainment Tonight. She has also appeared
in television commercials for Bud Light, Miller Lite
and Splash (Bikini store). In the tradition of models
appearing in music videos, such as James King, Linda
Evangelista and Nadja Auermann, Patricia was cast in
The New Generation's "Sweet Okole" video.

flower" in Hawaiian) can even list Play It To The

Crowned Miss Maharajah '92 in Honolulu, Patricia has
literally made her mark in all four categories of media,

she hopes to launch her own Web site in the near future.
When she has free time, Patricia enjoys hula dancing,
jet skiing, playing racquetball, fishing, and body boarding.
She hopes to someday start a family, and I'm sure men
worldwide would be more than happy to oblige.
