Nikki Schieler Ziering

Born August 9, 1971
Nikki Schieler Ziering is an American model and actress.

While working as a dental assistant in Brea, California, Nikki Schieler was discovered by a modeling scout. With her athletic body, it did not take long for her to appear in fashion, lingerie and swimsuit catalogs such as Carabella, Frederick's of Hollywood and Venus Swimwear.

Her rise as a model took an incredibly short amount of time and it was not long before she could also claim to be a spokesperson for 24 Hour Fitness, Korbell and Coors

It doesn't get much more incredible than seeing Nikki pose for Play..boy. Even with her clothes on, she is a memorable vision, from beautiful hair and eyes, to the obvious endowments she possesses, down to her long legs. Looking at Nikki comes close to staring at a beautiful work of art
