Sarah Kozer to Appear in June Playboy
NEW YORK – The first time Playboy magazine came calling, Sarah Kozer from “Joe Millionaire” said no. The second time, she said no again.
But the third time — after receiving unanimous approval from her family and friends — she changed her mind. Now, the reality show runner-up is on the cover of the magazine’s June issue.
Kozer said she only agreed to pose for Playboy if the photos entailed no full-frontal nudity. “I was a women’s studies major,” she said Monday night at a party celebrating her appearance.
This isn’t the first time the 29-year-old has modeled; as the Fox romance series was airing, it was revealed that she’d appeared in bondage and fetish films to help pay the bills during law school.
“Joe Millionaire” star Evan Marriott chose Zora Andrich over Kozer, but the two since have split up. The women were among 20 who competed for Marriott’s affections under the belief that he was a millionaire, when he was actually a construction worker who made $19,000 a year.
Since the show’s February finale, Kozer has been finishing a novel and a cookbook — and coping with the chaos of her newfound fame.
Sipping champagne and surrounded by pals and publicists at a trendy lounge Monday night, Kozer said of the whirlwind, “I don’t like it, but I don’t mind it.”
“If this is the worst that life has to dish out for me,” she said, “I can’t really see any reason to complain.”
