American pinup model Claire Sinclair is the winner of the annual "playmate of the year" award for 2011. The announcement was made during a colorful ceremony held at the moon night club in the palms hotel and casino in Las Vegas. The award is sponsored by playboy magazine.
At hand to present the award to the 19 years old beauty was the magazine boss Hugh Hefner and his fiancée Crystal Harris. Apart from the usual trophy presented to the winner, she walked home with a $100, 000 check as well as a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle. Her native looks brought back fond memories of the early days when the magazine was launched and it might be a matter of time before Hugh incorporates her into their line of models since she is of the right qualities that they look for.
The award winning model has still more to come for her fans as she is set to appear in a new reality show called The Bunny House where she will be the leading character. She has also set her sights on owning a personal teen nightclub with her preference being boyish men. Also in attendance were past winners Hope Dworaczyk who is the immediate holder and 2008 winner Jayde Nicole.
