Candice Boucher (born 17 October 1983) is a South African model
She has appeared in advertising campaigns for Fila and Speed, and is currently one of the faces of Intimissimi and Guess Jeans.
she was raised in Durban, and she was pushed into taking part in a modeling contest at school, which launched her career.
She says that her best feature are her blue eyes, and she uses them to attract men.
In an interview with FHM, Boucher said: "I think it's all in the eyes. I try to get his attention with a subtle gaze and a flap of the eyelids
She was on the cover of 2010 South Africa Sports Illustrated (SASI) Swimwear issue
She also appeared in the annual swimwear edition in 2006, and with the exception of 2007, has been featured successively in 2008, 2009, and 2010, also making the cover in 2011
The self-described tomboy and shy girl went a step further than lingerie and swimsuit modeling, by doing a photo shoot for the April 2010 issue of Playboy magazine.
Candice got the cover and her feature was unimaginatively titled "Undressed in Africa". The photos were shot at a private lodge in Southern Kenya, where a nude Candice crouched in front of lions, posed with tribal women, and held animal skulls
After gracing the cover of Playboy USA in April 2010 – which was shot on location the Kenyan wildlife – and posing nude in a pictorial spread, Boucher says she “won't take her clothes off again”, not even for the SA edition.
The sexy model told Playboy, "I was one of the shiest girls you'd ever met; I wouldn't even eat in front of people. My family kind of pushed me into the modeling thing so I would get more self-confident. I never spoke in school. I was one of the shy girls in the corner."
Despite all her modeling Candice Boucher retains some of her schoolgirl shyness even today.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan South Africa, she said that Playboy had been pursuing her for several years, but she had turned down nude photo shoots each time. Finally, after consulting with her agent, Boucher agreed to disrobe for Playboy but only because it would raise awareness for her charity "My Life".
Despite appearing nude in Playboy Boucher confesses to Cosmo: "I feel good about it now, but I wouldn't say my sexiest is without clothes. With a bikini? Not really, either. I'd say I feel sexiest wearing something that is body-hugging."
She spends most of her time in New York
“It's something I wouldn't want to have happen again because when I did it, I had my reasons and I'm happy with how it turned out. I enjoyed the shoot and I've decided I'd like to leave it like that and not to go back.”
