Playboy Playmate of the Month February 1992
Tanya Beyer went on to pose nude if a total of fifteen "Playboy" special edition publications and was featured in several "Playboy" videos.
An avid world traveler, Tanya has been to such far-flung exotic places as Tokyo, Milan, Paris, Athens, Mazatan, New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Osaka, and Taipei. Tanya Beyer's sole foray into film acting was a non-sex role in the hardcore adult movie "Fantasy Women." Tanya was 20 years old when she posed nude for the men's magazine.
Tanya was immensely popular with readers and subscribers as she finished 2nd in a poll of readers, only behind Cady Cantrell for the honor of Playmate of the Year for 1993.
Tanya's nude pictorial also received rave reviews from art critics as well, being described by numerous artistic critics as "Tanya is perhaps the most photogenic nude model of all time. Her love of nude modeling is overwhelmingly apparent and her Playboy pictorial is a true work of art. Her pictures capture the flawless art form of the female body as well as any we have ever seen". Many other professional art critics agreed with this assessment of Ms. Beyer's nude photographs describing them as ""The nude photographs of Tanya Beyer are so artistic and truly capture the magnificent female body they belong in the finest art museums of the world. It is unfortunate that some view these pictures as indecent, for they are a modern day depiction of the human female body at it's most perfect form. Her nude body should be viewed in the same manner as the ancient sculptures were in the times of the ancient Romans and Greeks. If there ever was such a thing as the perfect, flawless female body, it belongs to Tanya Beyer and it should be appreciated as so".
Tanya belonged to a group of Playmates that became known as the "dream teens" around the Playboy mansion even though she was in fact 20 years old when she posed nude for the magazine. Despite not actually being a teenager she still befriended the group and was known to be an integral part and well accepted member. The group was a clique of Playmates that included herself and the rest that were teenagers when they posed nude for the magazine during the early 90's. The group also contained fellow Playmates Wendy Kaye, Julie Clark, Cady Cantrell, Tiffany Sloan, Echo Johnson, and Jennifer LeRoy. They were often described around Playboy circles as being very immature and were thought of as behaving "like a bunch of high schoolers" when in fact, all the members of the group had just recently graduated from high school when they posed nude for the men's magazine. They often clashed with and were not well received by the older Playmates, when in fact they were immensely popular and well liked by the males that visited the Playboy mansion at the time. The name "dream teens" was derived from the then popular "dream team", a collection of NBA basketball players that represented the United States at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
