Tessa Fowler

A feature in the November 2011 issue of Playboy's "Girls of the SEC" series, representing the University of South Carolina, marked the start of Tessa Fowler's career in adult and glamour modeling. She was 19 at the time. Shortly after, Playboy named her Coed of the Week for January 26, 2012, which brought wider attention and set the trajectory for the years that followed.

Early Background and Entry

Born on January 23, 1992, in Columbia, South Carolina, Tessa was working at Hooters when she was noticed by Playboy scouts. She was studying business at the University of South Carolina at the time, though she had expressed interest in pursuing special effects artistry rather than a corporate career. Her transition into modeling proved more lasting than either path.

Career Timeline

Tessa's active years span from 2011 to 2023, a roughly 12-year run across several platforms and formats. Her early work centered on Playboy Plus, where she built an initial profile through covers, photo sets, and videos. Over the course of her career, she has been credited with 122 covers, 48 photo sets, and 73 videos across various outlets.

Beyond Playboy, Tessa was active on Cosmid, where she produced content alongside her sister, Karla Fowler, who worked under the name Kelly Rich. The two collaborated on building a shared audience within the adult entertainment space. Tessa later expanded to independent platforms, including OnlyFans and camming.

Physical Profile

Standing 5'1" and weighing around 110 pounds, Tessa is notably petite with natural proportions that became central to her brand. Her bust measurement shifted over the years; a self-measurement in May 2020 placed her at a US 30K (UK 30JJ), with a 29-inch underbust and 40-inch overbust. She has auburn hair, hazel eyes, a belly button piercing, a tongue piercing, and tattoos on her lower back and left side of her chest.

Industry Context

Tessa's career bridged a transitional period in the adult modeling industry, from legacy platforms like Playboy to creator-driven subscription services. Her professional designations included adult model, glamour model, Playboy model, and camgirl, all listed as former roles, indicating her retirement from active work around 2023 after more than a decade in the field.
