Colleen Shannon is the World’s Sexiest DJ! And that’s official, hence the capital letters! She’s also the 50th Anniversary Playmate! She took some time out of her busy schedule to remove some clothes for Maxim! Here are the pictures!

How was the shoot?

Honestly – it was a dream come true for me. I’ve wanted to do Maxim since forever.

Did you try to dance on the pole?

Actually, no, I didn’t! I probably should have tried…

What do you think about when you do a sexy photoshoot?

You try to do your best and just try to rock the camera.

Are you the world’s sexiest DJ?

Well, I never planned it that way, but if that’s what they say, who am I to argue?

What do you think of the UK?

I did a DJ tour here about three months ago, before Love Island, and now I’m back for another tour. When people go out in London, they want to have fun. In LA they just stand around posing. I’ll be touring the UK again from mid-November to mid-December.

Where did you DJ?

Mainly clubs in London – Chinawhite, Café De Paris and Umbaba, and some in Ireland.

Those clubs are all full of famous people, aren’t they?

Actually, Chinawhite was very cool. Janet Jackson was there that night, and Jermaine Dupri… and I bumped into Victoria Silvstedt, who’s a friend of mine!

Admit it – DJs just stand there playing records, don’t they?

It’s so not true. People don’t understand: you have to match everything – the beats, snares, the tone… It’s so much more than just playing a record.

And now you’re getting a signature turntable cartridge with your name on it from Ortofon! How will it represent you? Will it be curvy and blonde?

No! But I will have a say in the design. I’d like it to be black with little diamonds on it.

So nothing too showy, then?

Well, girls love diamonds…

What about male DJs?

Men can do diamonds too. Black and diamond is very classy.

Do people always ask if you enjoy handling 12 inches?

No one’s asked me that! But yes, I’m a strictly vinyl 12-inch LP DJ.

You didn’t get the dirty innuendo there, did you?

Yes, I did.

Oh. Is there anything else you’ve done that we should know about?

Yes! A poster and 2007 calendar!

Then we shall buy 10,000 of each. Colleen Shannon is the most Irish name ever. How Irish are you?

I’m half-Irish, half-Swedish. I’m touring in Ireland again soon.

Do you drink Guinness?

I do! I love it – and I love cider with a shot of Baileys in it!

That sounds like a tramp’s drink.

No! It’s lovely!

Did you know who any of the other people on Love Island were?

No – except for Sophie Anderton – I saw some beautiful photos of her before I went.

We had Sophie in Maxim! What did you think of her?

I love her like a sister.

Oddly, we love her in a different way. Is there a sexier place to have sex than on a desert island?

If you’re with someone you love, anywhere can be special.

Like a bus stop?

Maybe not there.

Would you rather play with 10 kittens or 10 puppies?

That’s tough! Can I say both?

What record would you make love to?

Maybe a Norah Jones album. Something slow and romantic… What about you?

Er… ‘Club Tropicana’ by Wham!

Ooh! I can feel that…

DJs always pull the best girls – do you get to pull the best men?

Actually, I come with security, so the guys can only get to a certain point.

You never say ‘bring me that one’ to your security guards?

No… nothing like that. I can be a little shy at times…

A lot of models end up being hacked to pieces in horror films. Is that an ambition of yours?

Acting and entertainment are important to me, and you have to do everything with taste – but you’ve got to start somewhere.

You’re a Playmate – have you been to Hugh Hefner’s house?

Absolutely.

Is his toilet made of solid gold?

Just porcelain. I’ll tell you what he does have – The Brass Ass! At the top of the hall staircase, there’s this statue of a huge brass butt with a slit, you know, in the middle. Say you wanted to drop him a memo or something – you just slip it in The Brass Ass!

Does he still seduce all the girls?

He’s got maybe three steady girlfriends now…

Just the three?

He had six or seven before.

He’s slowing down a bit in his old age. Do you think he has a robot arm to help him stroke their hair?

I don’t think so… He’s a nice guy.

Do you have any sexy little tricks?

I’m good at sound effects! I purr and meow a lot – often without realising I’m doing it. (Makes a ‘wrrrwow’ noise, followed by a ‘mewmewmewmew’ and a ‘purr’)

Do you own any horrible clothes?

I have awful taste in clothes!

It’s lucky you don’t generally wear them, then.

That’s true.

If we went to a charity shop near your house, would we be able to find any of your old clothes?

Yes – I give away clothes all the time. It’s the thing I spend all my money on. Any opportunity I have to give clothes to the Salvation Army or whoever, I do it.

Their business will now go up by 5,000 per cent. You’re not tempted to sell them on eBay?

Would people be interested?

You need never do laundry again.

I like the sound of that!
