Monique Sluyter (born July 27, 1967, in Sneek, Friesland) is a Dutch artist and actress. She became known in the 1990s in Germany as the assistant of Hugo Egon Balder on the RTL Plus show Tutti Frutti. After being crowned Miss Friesland in 1985, she received an offer from an Italian talent scout to join the show Colpo Grosso in Milan, where she worked for five years. When RTL acquired the rights to the show in Germany, she became Balder's assistant. After two years, she left the show and hosted her own program titled Erotica on Dutch television. As an actress, she appeared in the film Polarlicht and the TV series Goldküste.
Her first single, "I Want Your Body," produced by John Ewbank as part of the dance project Nymphomania in 1991, achieved gold status and charted in the US and Japan, reaching number 31 in the Japanese charts. She appeared four times in Playboy magazine and participated in the Dutch Big Brother show in 2006. Sluyter is also a painter and runs her own modeling agency, Monique Sluyter Models.
