JULIA’S GONNA BE HUGH HEFNER STREAKER BABE PLANS TO REPLACE PLAYBOY

-

INSTAGRAM model Julia Rose stunned America when she stripped off during a baseball game – and now she wants to take Playboy’s nudie crown.

Last October, during Game 5 of baseball’s World Series, Astros star pitcher Gerrit Cole was on the baseball mound.

But it was Julia who threw a curveball when she and pal Lauren Summer flashed their bare boobs at the pitcher – and a national TV audience.

The stunt – designed to promote Julia’s boobscentr­ic online magazine, ShagMag – got them kicked out of the game and banned from Major League Baseball stadiums.

But the 26-year-old Los Angeles resident, who calls herself a big sports fan, has no regrets.

“It was one of the top moments of my life,” she said.

“I’m still banned from any baseball games, but it’s worth it. I’ve always chased adrenaline.”

The move also launched Rose into another stratosphe­re – as she now has a massive 4.8million followers on Instagram.

Now she is putting the spotlight on her next stunt – gunning for Playboy’s crown.

Julia is the co-founder, chief executive and face of ShagMag, which features topless photo shoots as well as sports stories and dating advice.

In a nod to Penthouse magazine, which once ran an ad saying “We’re going rabbit hunting”, ShagMag’s new ad features a target on Playboy’s bow-tied bunny logo.

The campaign rolls out this month on Instagram.

“We are here to replace the bunny,” said Rose, who wants ShagMag to be the powerhouse Playboy was in its heyday – and make stars of its models, like Hugh Hefner did with Anna Nicole Smith, Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson.

She’s even casting ShagMag girls to live with her in a Beverly Hills home, which sounds a lot like the Playboy Mansion.

She added: “I am 100 per cent walking around the house nude. I live it, thrive in my birthday suit.”
