If you remember watching cable television around the late 2000s and early 2010s, you probably remember watching that fucking vampire Hugh Hefner’s reality show The Girls Next Door. If you've never watched it, maybe you've seen clips here and there. The whole thing was about all the babes that Hugh Hefner is currently fucking.
Which would have been interesting 40 years before that. But when you're watching him at 150 years old eating pudding while shitting his pants and grabbing the ass of someone that could be his great-great-grandaughter, it's not that interesting in a biographical sort of way. In a trainwreck kind of way, though, it wasn't too fucking bad.
On the show was a playmate named Claire Sinclair. She had this classical look about herself and was trying to pull off the classic Bettie Page look from around the early 20th century. You know, when Hugh Hefner was first getting his driver's license and driving his Ford Model-T automobile around the orange groves of what was to become Los Angeles, California.
But enough about Hugh Hefner. Let's focus on the utterly gorgeous Claire Sinclair. She's aged like a fine fucking wine as the years have gone on. And you can't say that about everyone who appeared on The Girls Next Door, either! See where Claire Sinclair comes from, her time as a Playboy Playmate, and what she's up to lately!
Claire Sinclair’s early life
Claire Sinclair was born in May 1991 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She moved around quite a bit in California, but LA still beckoned her. The glamor of Los Angeles had a substantial impact on her career from the moment it started. Because of where she grew up, Claire Sinclair was exposed to fame, fortune, and Hollywood life from an early age, no matter where she lived in California!
And like so many before and after her, she was immediately drawn to the spotlight. She wanted a career in entertainment, but she didn't know what that meant or how to get there. That is until her father brought home a piece of art that changed her life forever:
“When I was about 7 years old, my Dad brought home a piece of pin-up artwork and hung it in our living room," said Claire Sinclair in an interview with Las Vegas Magazine in May 2016. "My Dad told me it was Bettie Page, a famous pin-up model. I remember saying, 'So she gets to play dress-up in costumes for a job?' And when I heard the answer was, 'yes,' I must have asked a dozen times to confirm because I was in shock that that was a real thing! I said, 'I'm gonna do that when I grow up!'
From then on, Bettie Page became a symbol of success for Claire Sinclair. It was the model she strived to be like, which is evident from her photoshoots later in life. But I'm fucking getting ahead of myself here on ThePornDude!
Claire Sinclair wanted to be a model as a young girl. She kept her sights on the goal, and it wouldn't be long before she lived out her dream. But where her modeling career would take her was something she could have never predicted.
Claire Sinclair begins modeling
Claire Sinclair got her break in modeling at the age of 14. She modeled for several fashion companies, including jeans companies like Angel Jeans and Smooch Jeans. She also modeled in lingerie for brands like Scarlet Lingerie and others.
Claire Sinclair's family finally settled down once again in Los Angeles. She graduated high school in 2009, and as soon as she turned 18, she got her first adult gig. Though, it wasn't anything pornographic or anything like that! I know that's a real fucking shame!
Claire Sinclair poses nude
Claire Sinclair got her first official nude gig, not in a magazine as you may expect. Or on the Web, as was the norm at the time. Instead, she went a different route.
Between modeling gigs, Claire Sinclair and her sister would model by the Grauman's Theater in Hollywood, California, dressed as different characters. Most of the time, they would be dressed as Disney characters, with Claire Sinclair dressing up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Essentially, they cosplayed for tips to earn some extra money.
“I was there everyday posing [with my sister] dressed as Cinderella,” she said in an interview with Complex Magazine in 2011. “It was pretty cool, actually. We formed this big community, and we’d all hang out afterwards. There were like 30 characters at any given time. It’s hilarious, they’ll just sit on the curb and eat pizza while dressed like Betty Boop or Wolverine. We were just looking at that as a cool summer thing to do, to make cash.”
While cosplaying, Claire Sinclair had a one-off gig by posing for pop artist Olivia De Berardinis. She was so impressed with her body that Olivia De Berardinis told Hugh Hefner himself that you gotta get a load of this babe!
She didn't say that literally, of course. But the modeling gig did turn Hugh Hefner on to Claire Sinclair. Within months, Claire Sinclair was getting acquainted with the Playboy high life. And it wasn't soon after that that she became well-known to the general public.
Claire Sinclair models for Playboy
Claire Sinclair made her official debut in Playboy Magazine in 2010. Quite quickly, she was named 'Playmate of the Month' in October 2010. But she'd be mistaken if she thought this was her only taste of Playboy fame!
Because one year later (2011 if you’re not fucking paying attention), Claire Sinclair was named ‘Playmate of the Year’! Right away, her life changed overnight. She became one of the hottest babes in the Playboy stratosphere!
“Hef actually told me during a party at the [Playboy] mansion,” said Claire Sinclair in the same interview. “I was freaking out because I'm one of the youngest Playmates of the Years ever, and I thought that they were going to change their mind. I'm too young, I can't promote liquor; they're going to take it away from me. So I was freaking out until the actual day of the ceremony, and it'd become official. Then, I finally breathed."
Interestingly, because of US liquor laws, Claire Sinclair couldn't be featured on the magazine cover even though she was Playmate of the Year since she's promoting everything inside the magazine. Which includes the liquor ads that the magazine always had. It sounds fucking stupid, and it's no goddamn surprise why magazines are fucking dead now.
As a Playmate, Claire Sinclair appeared on a few reality show The Girls Next Door episodes. Around that time, she met Hugh Hefner's son, Marston Hefner. And things wouldn't turn out so well for Claire Sinclair.
Claire Sinclair’s trouble with Hugh Hefner’s son
Claire Sinclair began dating Hugh Hefner’s son, Marston Hefner, in the Summer of 2010. But it wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns fucking one another. A day before Valentine’s Day 2012, Claire Sinclair filed a restraining order against the old man’s son.
"We had just freshly moved into the apartment, and I know Marston was a little stressed out about it, and Marston has been unstable throughout the whole course of our relationship,” said Claire Sinclair in an interview with E! News in 2012. “We got into an argument about something really silly and it kind of escalated and it became violent.”
That was the beginning of the end of her time with Playboy. “Nobody’s empathetic or concerned,” she said in the same interview with E! News. “It’s more like, cover it up and protect the image, you know what I’m saying?”
Claire Sinclair’s life after Playboy
After Playboy, Claire Sinclair opened her own Las Vegas burlesque show called PIN UP at the Stratosphere Theater. She performed over 1,000 shows where she nearly got naked! She ended the show four years later when she opened a hotel called Clairebnb.
It opened around 2017 but has closed roughly two years later. Since then, she has also appeared on the reality show Shark Tank showing off some kind of business. She's active on OnlyFans and LoyalFans and other social media platforms like Instagram and X. She recently had a large billboard in Los Angeles advertising her LoyalFans page!
Suggestions:
Claire Sinclair is a former Playmate of the Year, featured in the reality series The Girls Next Door. She's currently a successful OnlyFans and LoyalFans model, and she's pretty successful, judging by her advertisements in sunny California. As long as she continues to be irresistible and keeps her timeless look, I do not doubt that she will continue to be successful no matter where she ventures in modeling!
