Interview With McKenzie Closen By Chris
Mckenzie Closen has been in Playboy,Been COED Of The
Month
But she is much more than that. She studies
Marketing.
She has her feet on the ground,smart and she is one cool
girl.
So here is our interview with the lovely McKenzie
Closen.
1. How has your life changed since doing
Playboy?
It has been wild. I am continually amazed at the attention
that I get from everyone and how long it has lasted. I
definitely get treated well when I am out and I have met
tons of awesome people and made a lot of new friends since
then. It is weird, almost like being a celebrity–except
only in Champaign (University of Illinois).
2. Did you ever imagine being in Playboy?
Yes, absolutely. I have wanted to be in Playboy ever since
the first time I saw one of the magazines. I remember
thinking that the women were so beautiful and also so
uninhibited. I wanted to be like that when I grew up
😉
3. How did your parents respond to you being in
Playboy?
My parents were so supportive–I never worried for a second
that they wouldn’t be. Both of my parents are artists, so
they see the nude body as a work of art and not as
something to be ashamed of. I have amazing parents, I am
very lucky.
4. Was it fun doing the photo shot?
It was the most fun I have ever had in my life. My photo
shoot was outside…there is nothing more freeing and
natural feeling than being naked in the great
outdoors.
5. How have people responded when you tell them you’re
in Playboy?
Everyone has responded in a very positive way that I have
spoken to personally. I knew that, of course, men would
respond positively, but I was not sure how women would
respond to it. Luckily, women have been so sweet about it
and usually say something like “that is so cool!” or “I
totally want to be in Playboy some day!”
6. Do you enjoy Modelling and will you keep doing
it?
I definitely enjoy modelling, and I will continue to do it
as long as I am getting offers. However, modelling is not
my main focus. I am a student first, and my education and
future career are the most important things in my life
right now. So, as long as the modelling jobs do not
interfere with my education, I will keep doing it.
7. Would you ever like to travel overseas?
Yes, I would love to travel overseas. I have never left the
U.S., but I hope to land a job that will allow me to travel
the globe to do business. That would be ideal. I want to go
everywhere and see everything.
8. What would you most like to do after finishing your
degree?
I would like to work in marketing and advertising at a firm
or with an advertising agency. As far as location, I just
want to be in a large city or something like Chicago, New
York, or L.A. I am just keeping my eyes open and looking
for something that really grabs my attention.
9. What are some your favourite TV shows going
up?
Growing up, I watched Rainbow Bright and My Little Ponies.
But now I mostly watch anything on E! Or Vh1. My favourite
show that I never miss though is the L Word on
Showtime.
10. What’s your view on realty TV?
I think that there are not any reality shows that actually
show reality, but they are so much f-ing fun to watch and I
am addicted to about 9 of them.
11. What are some of your favourite movies?
Bound is my favourite movie of all time. Donnie Darko is
the movie I have probably watched the most number of times.
I also own Old School, Mulholland Dr., and Lost and
Delirious. My favourite movie genre is horror films I don’t
care how bad the reviews are, if there is a scary movie at
the theatre you can be sure that I will go see it.
12. What movies that you have seen recently you have
really enjoyed?
Well, I saw the Ring Two on opening night, of course, and
it was very good. I also really enjoyed Maria Full of
Grace. Oh, and I get the Sundance channel at my apartment
and I am addicted to watching documentaries (on Mondays
they show them all day long).
13. What are some of your favourite musical
artists?
Portishead, Damien Rice, Gwen Stefani/No Doubt, Fiona
Apple
14. What would we find on McKenzie Closen stereo at the
moment?
Well, I don’t own a stereo I only listen to music that I
have on my computer, and I have about 2000 songs so, just
about anything. My favourite playlist right now mostly
contains music from the L Word soundtrack with additional
Portishead songs and some tracks from the Garden State
soundtrack.
15. What is one thing you most like to do
ever?
Draw. Art is my soul.
16. What your favourite thing to do when you’re not
studying?
I love going out to eat and watching movies with
friends.
Thanks for your time any last words?
I just want to say that I feel so lucky for the life that I
have lived and the things that I have experienced. Thank
you to everyone who has helped me along the way, and I
can’t wait to see where my life will take me tomorrow!
