Divini Rae Biography:
Divini Rae (pronounced Div-vin-nee) grew up in a remote Alaskan fishing village near Fairbanks, to parents of Swedish/English origin. “The only way to reach the village where I was born is by plane in the winter or by boat in the summer,” Divini says. “We weren’t allowed to watch television or listen to music, as my parents are extremely conservative and religious. Since we didn’t own a t.v. or even have electricity, it didn’t matter anyway.” Despite the long winters, Divini grew up with a disposition as sunny as her name: “My Mother told me that the first thing she thought of when I was born was that I was like a divine ray of sunshine, and that’s why she decided to name me Divini Rae.”
Growing up in a log cabin with no running water or electricity, Divini was an avid reader and graduated from high school with honors and a 3.8 g.p.a., one year early. She then studied psychology (major) and journalism (minor) at University of Oregon on an academic scholarship before a vacation in Sydney, Australia during her junior year led to a permanent change of continents. After being discovered on Bondi Beach in Sydney by a female photographer, Divini began lingerie and swimwear modeling. She lived between Sydney and New York for five years before moving to Los Angeles to work as a photographer. Divini also dabbled in acting work while living down under, guest starring on the popular TV drama Above the Law, soap opera Home and Away, and hosting a show on which she interviewed sports celebrities. “I never had any ambition to be an actress - or a model for that matter - but I had a great time working on some excellent shows and shooting some great campaigns.”
She even launched her own monthly magazine, SWAY (Sydney Will Amaze You), documenting the city’s abundant nightlife. “Hef granted me an interview for the special edition issue of SWAY, and that issue is now a collector’s item,” she says. Now the entrepreneur is busy shooting a sexy calendar of Playmate friends to be sold on her website, DiviniRae.com. “It’ll be smokin’,” she says. Miss November’s enthusiasm for what lies around the corner is infectious. This is one brainy beauty whose hands are never idle. “It’s rare that I relax,” she says. “I have so much energy that I do sit-ups to feel productive while I watch my favorite TV shows: Will & Grace and Law & Order.” She’s just as focused about the type of men she likes. “I see the soul, not the packaging. As in, I don’t care much about looks,” she says. “I know that sounds cliché, but it’s true. I’m only attracted to exceptional, magnificent human beings who can think outside the box. I notice people with inner strength, confidence, charisma, wisdom, and sophistication - those who are articulate and creative, like to read, have a silly sense of humor, and a positive, easygoing nature. I like rugged men, not boys, and I expect to be treated like a lady - open doors for me and always speak kindly and respectfully. I’m not into the bad-boy thing or celebrity egos; just gentlemen with manners for me thanks.”
“I told my Mother that posing nude helps a woman recognize her sexuality and embrace it in a beautiful way, and it’s true: I feel very comfortable in my skin,” Divini says. With her I.Q. being 152, Divini’s parents couldn’t understand how she could find modeling appealing. “Being called ‘smart’ all the time gets quite tiresome. I want people to like me for my looks, not my brains,” Divini explains with a smile.
