Petra Charlotte Verkaik (pronounced PAYT-rah ver-KIKE; born November 4, 1966, in Los Angeles, California[11]) is a model. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she attended acting classes. She needed a head shot and did a trade with a photographer to get free headshots in exchange for modeling for him. The modeling photographs were clothed. The photographer sent her photographs to Playboy who called her to work with them. In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Verkaik expressed that she never wanted to do nude modeling and that she thought "all those girls were whores and sluts." Three months later,[12] she was Playmate of the Month for December 1989[13] after first appearing in the Great Playmate Hunt Special Edition in February 1989.[citation needed]
Verkaik started her own production company in 1995, called Pin-Up Girls, making her the first Playboy model to start her own production company instead of producing videos strictly through Playboy. Pin-Up Girls produced videos and calendars. Starting the company left her $60,000 in debt.[12] In 1997, she was named Playboy Model of the Year.[12]
In 2002, Verkaik attended the Foothill High School prom in Tustin, California, with a high school student named Toby Hocking. Hocking wrote a college essay, and Verkaik was given it by a friend who told her that he couldn't get a prom date. Verkaik read the college essay and offered to be Hocking's date, which garnered publicity. The headmaster of Foothill High School had no issue with Verkiak being Hocking's date, provided she did not wear anything "strapless or sheer".[13]
