Rachel Harris might be tiny, but she packs a punch. Petite blonde from Pasadena, California, she's been an artist since forever. Years of painting like crazy got her a studio right in downtown L.A. She needs the space because her pieces are huge. "I can't reach the wall, so I paint on the floor," she says. "I use construction stuff like epoxies and dyes. When I hit Home Depot for supplies, they figure I'm picking up a boyfriend. I don't mind though—it's kind of hot proving them wrong." When Playboy came knocking, she saw it as another chance to flip expectations and maybe turn a few heads. "I tested for kicks," she laughs. "It's like the lottery, why not? But I stuck with it because Playboy's the real deal. They don't just snap your pic—they bring you into the family. That made me feel safe." As Miss November 2015, Rachel plans to use the exposure to push her art. "People see the pretty face and I get to steer them toward my work. Busts the lazy artist myth. I'm put-together, creative, and hot as hell. Playboy handing me this shot is about to change everything." We agree—she's already a force, and she's nowhere near finished.
