Dalene Kurtis is an American nude model and was Playmate of the Month in September 2001. She was also Playmate of the Year in 2002.
She grew up in Bakersfield, California. Dalene began her modeling career by entering and winning a Venus Swimwear contest. She then debuted in Playboy magazine as the Miss September 2001 Playboy Playmate after being spotted at the Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageant.
Kurtis was the first Playmate of the Month to appear in Playboy with a completely shaved pubic area. Another signature attribute is her lower back tattoo of a butterfly just above her buttocks.
In 2003, Playboy released a soft plastic Playboy Doll of her. The doll was based on computer scans of her face and body; hence it is an anatomically accurate model of her.
Dalene is mentioned in the best selling book The Game as one of the first women the author Neil Strauss attempts to pick up.
Dalene hosted the TV show NOPI Tunervision in its first year on TNN for the 2002-2003 season.
