The founder of Playboy magazine, Hugh Hefner, has gained yet another girlfriend. This time she’s from Ukraine and she’s not blond.

Dasha Astafieva has an impressive career in her home country, becoming the winner of top reality-show, ‘Stars Factory’. After that she began a musical career but earned even more success as a model. Readers of the Ukrainian version of Playboy have named her the Playmate of 2007.

After that the gorgeous brunette was destined to go to the U.S. Dasha received a personal invitation from Hugh Hefner and now for more than a week she lives in the Bunny House at his ranch, the residence where Playboy models live.

82-year-old Hefner spends most of his time with his new muse, completely forgetting about his three other girlfriends, all of whom are blondes. He even accompanies her to photo-shoots, which he never did before. Dasha says Hugh promised she won’t be bored while sating with him at the Playboy mansion and he stays firm to his word.

Some say the old Lovelace fell for the Ukrainian because she reminds him of his first love, porn-star from the 1950s – Betty Page.

Dasha Astafieva is now one of the favourites to become the cover girl of January’s jubilee Playboy’s issue. Her main rivals are five American models.

Ukrainian girls seem to impress the West more and more in recent times. Astafieva’s compatriot, Olga Kurylenko, has made a rocking debut in Hollywood accompanying Timothy Olyphant in ‘Hitman’. And now she stars as new Bond’s girlfriend in ‘Quantum of Solace’.
