Tasha Banks can brighten just about any day. Born in Ontario, Canada, dark-haired Tasha spent her childhood in Vancouver, where despite the cloudy, rainy skies, she maintained a very sunny disposition. Tall, fit and toned, she’s also maintained a great figure, mostly through a combination of dance and regular exercise. “Pole dancing and fitness are my passions,” she says. “I try to spend as much time in the studio as I can.” Speaking of passions, Tasha has always wanted to embark on a professional modeling career, and with Playboy Plus, she saw her chance and took it. “I was a bit of a wallflower in high school,” she admits. “These days, I’ve got an outgoing personality. I’ve modeled in Vancouver for a few years, but I’ve always wanted to pose for Playboy. It’s been a dream since the very beginning of my journey.” Meeting photographer Cassandra Keyes through a friend, Tasha submitted her photos,a nd before she knew it, she was in front of Keyes’ camera, shooting her first-ever nude pictorial. As for the future, Tasha isn’t sure what it holds, but she’s ready to enjoy the ride. “My best quality is that I’m very giving,” she says. “I have a big heart. If I won the lottery, I’d take care of my family and travel the world!”
