About Lena Li

Lena Li (李琳玲; pinyin: Lǐ Línlíng) (born November 11, 1979, in Taiwan) is a Taiwanese-Singaporean glamour and former adult model known for her distinctive Chinese-French heritage, academic credentials, and transition from banking into modeling.

Born in Taiwan, Lena immigrated to the United States with her family in 1983, growing up in Pasadena, California. Passionate about the arts, she pursued creative writing, poetry, and theater throughout her youth. After completing her studies—eventually earning a PhD from the University of London—she returned to Asia and worked in corporate Public Relations, including a position as PR Manager at Citibank Singapore.

Her shift into modeling came unexpectedly when she was scouted while shopping at a lingerie boutique. Frustrated by the constraints of corporate life, she began freelance PR consulting while exploring glamour modeling under the name Dr. Lena Li. Her statuesque 5’7″ frame and eye-catching 34DDD-23-35 figure helped her stand out, and she quickly gained attention in the adult and glamour modeling world.

Li first rose to prominence in the early 2000s, posing for Kim Mizuno’s East West calendars and appearing in both the Taiwanese and U.S. editions of Playboy, including Playboy’s Voluptuous Vixens and as Cyber Girl of the Week in February 2002. She later posed topless and nude for outlets such as ModFXmodels, Images From Asia, and Score between 2005 and 2008.

In recent years, she’s rebranded herself with a more glamour-focused image, appearing in publications like FHM Australia (December 2023), Daily Star, and MAXIM Australia (January 2025), where she reflected on her unconventional path from banking to modeling. She has worked on shoots across Asia-Pacific—including Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand—and continues to cultivate a strong online following on platforms like Instagram (@dr.lena.li) and TikTok.

To maintain privacy from her conservative family, she has used various stage names, including “Bustysingaporean.” Lena has expressed ambitions to expand into mainstream commercial modeling, aspiring to become a brand ambassador for high-end beauty brands.
