Britt Linn is the Playboy Playmate for March 2014. Hotel rooms are places where secrets are kept, plots unfold and lovers indulge their fantasies anonymously and with abandon. Unlock this hotel-room door and you are alone with a rising star in the fashion world, a red-hot Mohawked seductress with a brain to match that impossibly alluring body. New Jersey-born model Britt Linn; our first short-haired Playmate in more than 15 years — is on a never-ending adventure. 'I want to try everything,' she says, 'no matter how weird.'; Just one year ago Britt was working as a surgical technologist when a New York model scout found her on Facebook. “I started modeling in September (during Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week, and bam,” she says, “I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants ever since!”

After snagging shoots for Seventeen and Diesel, she booked her Playboy gig and Vogue Italia editorial on the same day. “I burst into tears of happiness,” Britt says. “I’m pretty competitive, and I thought it’d be cool to be slender enough for high fashion but also curvy enough for Playboy. And I did it!” Some other things you should know about Miss March: Although she sports a punk-rock vibe, she’s an approachable “goofball” who likes shooting pool with the boys, throwing back shots of Jack Daniel’s and mellowing out to singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne.
