Patricia Ford (1969- ), a bathing beauty from Hawaii, was an American swimsuit model in the 1990s. She was one of the first models to become famous through the Internet.

She had a great body, though her breasts were false. She had a face that you could look at forever: high cheekbones, black hair and, most of all, her eyes. Her great physical beauty came with a sweet, innocent look. She was a beautiful mix of German, Irish, Portuguese, Chinese and Hawaiian.

In the early days of the Web her pictures were among the most searched for things on the Internet. There were thousands of different pictures of her and they were all free. It seems she lost control of them – she did not even have a website – but they made her name on the Internet.

The pictures from her 1994 calendar, in particular, are among the best I have seen of any woman.

But all this came when she was 26 and towards the end of her life as a swimsuit model.

By then she had already appeared in dozens of catalogues, magazines and calendars wearing swimsuits, lingerie – or sometimes nothing at all!

She sometimes appears under the name of Brandi or Brandi Davis, especially when appearing naked, as in the pictures that Suze Randall took.

If you like Patricia Ford, you might also like Amy Weber, who some mistake for her.

She had made the cover of Playboy (in Germany and Australia) and appeared in their swimsuit and lingerie magazines dozens of times, from 1993 to 2001. She was even the Playboy Lingerie Supermodel of 1996. Yet for some reason she was never a Playboy Playmate, the featured model of an issue.

Nor was she ever a fashion model: she is too short (1.65 metres) and her breasts are too large.

She has had bit parts in some films and television shows. She has also been in beer ads for both Bud Light and Miller Lite. She looks great but has little acting talent.

She was discovered at age 15 by Japanese talent scouts. They were in Hawaii and saw her in a beauty contest. They brought her to Japan where she became a model. Six years later she came to Los Angeles to continue modelling.

From 1993 to 1996 she was at her height.

Even though she was a great success on the Web, she had no website of her own for a long time. People who offered to build her a website would run off with her money! Then spammers got hold of patriciaford.com. She now has one at last, but the content is old.

She likes to eat sushi, lie in the sun by the sea and read, especially books in Spanish.

She is soft-spoken and well-mannered. She likes to make people smile.

Now in her late 30s, she no longer models. In 2001 she got married to her long-time boyfriend and moved to Las Vegas where they live with their children.
