We’ve noticed South African babes have something in common, the older they get the sexier and more sensual they become. Our featured LW Babe of the Week Laudi Ottavini is living proof of that. A sexy woman who’s experience in life has enabled her to be a sociably confident, outgoing and comfortable in her own skin.

Full name: Laudi Ottavini
Nickname: Lauds
Age: 36, probably oldest woman you’ve featured here [laughs]
Hometown: Johannesburg
Day job: Surgical medical Rep
Phobias: Rats
Special talents: I’m funny which is rare for a woman

If you had to go to a job interview at your ultimate job, how would you sell yourself to the interviewer?
Since I’m in sales I do that naturally everyday so interviews for me are generally easy. I’m very comfortable in my skin and know what I’m good at, and that’s mostly everything! Focusing on why they would benefit of having me aboard normally does the trick.
How would you categorise yourself as a person?
Definitely an extrovert that loves to be around people. I’m a bit ADHD so the word “fast” as an adjective describes me pretty well. I’m also very down to earth and love to make people feel special and important.
5 Things that make Laudi smile from ear to ear?
My boyfriend, my 3 sons, chilling, presents and making a difference in someone’s life in some way

“I think a certain degree of class makes a model sexier than revealing it all”
You have a very unique name, tell us about it and its origin?
Yeah, there’s only about plus minus 300 Laudi’s in the whole world, if the pie chart I got from Google is to be trusted, definitely one of a kind. It’s Latin and means ‘with praise’.
Tell us what you get out of posing for the camera and how do you feel when doing it?
It’s all about the duck face pout [wink]. Definitely the end product of a great picture that tells a story. A lot of factors make it either a good shot or a great shot. To have all the factors for a split second come together for that one amazing photograph is what it’s about. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my work so I hope to tell the story of what the photographer wants from me. Modeling is a job and the feeling that goes with it is to portray the story.
In your opinion, what makes a model sexy?
To be comfortable in her own skin and in front of the camera. I think a certain degree of class makes a model sexier than revealing it all.

What do guys want?
3 things – Money, to be a football or rugby player, and a supermodel.
If you could be anything you wanted for a day, what would it be and why?
A man, just to confirm that they really are less complicated than they say they are, and that they really can’t read our minds.
What one thing makes you go weak at the knees?
Very superficial but good tattoos and lean muscles. Oh and V-lines. I know it’s more than one but I can’t choose.

What does a day in the life of Laudi consist of?
Visiting hospitals and being in theatre, driving, more driving and a bit more driving. I did 45 000km’s in one year!
What’s your sure fire way to get what you want from your man?
I’m busy laughing right now with him about this question. Hmmm… don’t think I can share it with you. I have my ways though,
Give us some insight into your ultimate fantasy?
All my fantasies died when I had kids, I prefer boring old normal.

5 Question Quickie
Blonde or Brunette?
Brunette, been both and you really are taken more seriously as a brunette.
Conventional sports or Action sports?
Action sports, need adrenaline rushes once in a while since my fantasies got shattered as mentioned before.
Bikini or Lingerie?
Bikini, think sun, sea, beach and fun.
Night time or Day time?
Day time, I’m old remember.
Beach holiday or Snow holiday?
Beach for sure, I’m a summer baby.
