Eugena Washington

Eugena Washington stands five feet nine and a half inches tall and refuses to hold her tongue. She owns her height, her choices, and the name she built as a model. Her mantra is simple: Why the hell not? Raised in Palmdale with seven brothers and sisters, she wanted out. Cycle 7 of America’s Next Top Model gave her the platform. Second runner-up. National attention. Work followed fast. Then Playboy called. They asked her to pose for the 60th-anniversary spread. She said yes, kept the connection open, and when the text came asking if she wanted the centerfold, she answered the same way: Why not. Why the hell not. She is Miss December now, yet her mind is already racing ahead. Beauty products are next. A hair line called DTMH by Eugena. Don’t touch my hair. The message is the product. The message is also her life. No one gets to set the limits but her.
