Golf influencer Paige Spiranac made a name for herself on social media, but she’s going retro and unplugged for her next big project.
The curvy blonde is releasing a 2023 wall calendar with sexy Western-inspired photos that harken back to her Colorado roots.
“I’ve always wanted to do a calendar for the longest time because I come from a calendar family,” Spiranac, 29, told The Post. Every year during the holidays, her mother would gift her family members versions showcasing adorable animals, and later created ones from personal family snaps.
“It’s always something I looked forward to,” said Spiranac, who said her favorite one from childhood was “dogs doing yoga.”
However, Spiranac opted for something slightly sexier than canines in downward dog poses for her newest offering, which will be available for preorder for $25 at PaigeSpiranac.com starting Tuesday at noon.
Shooting at an Airbnb property in Colorado called the Rusty Skillet Ranch, she wore skimpy swimsuits with cowboy boots, hats and other cowgirl touches such as leather belts and suede accoutrements. She styled the entire shoot, did her own hair and makeup and worked only with a photographer.
“It was a two-man job, but the photos don’t reflect that at all. They look amazing and they are my most favorite photos I have ever taken,” said Spiranac, who shared exclusive images with The Post.
Last week, Spiranac released a capsule collection with Maxim, which named her “World’s Sexiest Woman” in June. The honor came with a cover shoot done by legendary fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon — an experience that helped shape her most recent project.
“He was incredible and he did a it in a minimalistic way,” she said of Bensimon. “It was just him shooting and we didn’t have a lot of lights or reflectors, so I learned a lot from him on how to just create this perfect image, which isn’t perfect but organic. Shooting with him, I learned so much, so I tried to implement the techniques that he did, into this calendar.”
She hasn’t told Bensimon about his creative influence but “maybe I will send him a calendar,” she said.
It’s another part of Spiranac’s plan to expand her personal brand and follow in the footsteps of women such as Cindy Crawford and Jessica Alba, who became businesswomen after starting out in front of the camera.
At the moment, the former college golfer is creating a platform to interview experts in various fields to talk about issues she’s faced including body shaming and cyberbullying. She also plans to delve into health, fitness and, of course, golf.
“Sexiness will always be a big part of my brand, and I will never abandon that but it’s growing,” said Spiranac, adding that she’s hoping her fans, whom she calls friends, “evolve with me.”
