LOL. I hope you threw that one away as quickly as you found it.

Not surprising really, that's just among the other stuff in Playboy i will never be able to afford or have.....

Ah yes, classic Playboy: The Fine Art of Photo Re-touching BPS (before Photoshop); The Battle for our 1st Amendment rights; The protest at Bette's Diner (Berkeley); The Jimmy Carter ("I have lusted in my heart") interview; The cat-licking ex-Miss America Vanessa William; The Pre-Madonna Madonna spread, hairy arm-pits and all. Yes fond memories.

I think that has more to do with the direction Playboy is headed in. Mr. Heffner doesn't really run Playboy day to day anymore, so it really doesn't reflect his personal style anymore. These days, I think they are trying to be more popular, so it relates more to popular culture.

Hey it just occurred to me, how come no one has mentioned their favorite Playmates? That always makes for interesting conversation, unless it's not allowed here...
And even though Playboy today is sometimes hit and miss, they do have attractive Playmates often enough. And I would be a liar if I told you I read the articles. I always thought you should do one thing and do it well.

Anybody here read Playgirl? I'm curious how the articles are in comparison to Playboy. I might do an A-B comparison on some vintage issues.

I have a copy of Playboy's 40th Anniversary still in the unopened plastic bag from 1994(I think). Is this worth anything?
