Eva Laskari: Alexis Tsipras, come and see

It was May 2008 when Playboy caught fire with Eva Laskari, who also sent a message to Alexis Tsipras. With a title that even Viagra's marketing department wouldn't dare use: "National anabolic: Naked doses for Olympic performance." That issue of the magazine entered the pantheon of Greek male fantasies. The model, born in Athens and raised in Kalamaki, had already gained a reputation as a woman who does not go unnoticed. At 16, she won the title of Star Peloponnese and since then, Greece has had its own Mediterranean sex symbol. In the 2008 photo shoot, Eva Laskari is not simply photographed. But the photographer deifies her. With an impressive butt, large perky breasts, lively nipples, and her shaved... bush, she is a presence that is both raw and divine. This primal, erotic, and stylish woman is not just another Playboy bunny. She is a goddess whom everyone kneels before and worships. In her interview with the magazine, she revealed that her biggest fetish is stockings.

"I have something to show you, Alexis Tsipras."

But she also had a message for a rising politician at the time. As she said, she dreamed of Alexis Tsipras joining her on the boat so she could show him "the good things about capitalism." What do you say, Alexis, is there a place for Eva in your new party? Eva Laskari did not remain in our memories simply as a cover girl. She became the epitome of the Greek woman who carries eroticism in her gaze and signs it with every move, with every pose. Her career took off as she starred in television series, took to the stage, became a DJ, and studied at Mimi Denisi's school. So that her presence in theater and soap operas would be legitimized. But for us, in those pages of Playboy in 2008, Eva Laskari became a symbol. A springtime call to fantasy, a flame that never goes out, no matter how many pages you turn. And we would like her to dream of us like Alexis Tsipras.
