Shoutout to Miss Jaclyn Swedberg! The 21-year-old California girl, who was Playboy’s Miss April 2011, has been named 2012′s Playmate of the Year!

“I think Jaclyn encompasses the true ‘girl next door’ persona and she’ll do great representing the brand,” Cooper Hefner said. We here at TSJ, of course, quite agree.
