the Playmate of the Month was Margie Harrison, in the January 1954 issue. - How has the centerfold evolved over the years? The first two centerfolds were only single page photographs. The third issue, February 1954, was the first two-page centerfold. The famous three page fold out centerfold made it's first appearance in in the March 1956 issue (with Marian Stafford). In October 1985, the physical format of the magazine changed; instead of being held together by staples, the magazine was produced with the 'perfect' or flat binding. So now the centerfold is attached to the magazine at top of the centerfold, instead of stapled in the first fold. Thus if the magazine was closed with the centerfold unfolded, two pages would stick out, instead of one. - Who was the first Playmate of the Year? The first official Playmate of the Year was Ellen Stratton, the 1960 Playmate of the Year and the December 1959 Playmate of the Month. - Who was the first African-American Playmate of the Month? The first African-American selected as a Playmate of the Month was Jennifer Jackson. She appeared in the March 1965 issue. - Who was the first Asian-American Playmate of the Month? Not sure on this one; may have been China Lee in 1964. - Who was the first Foreign Playmate of the Month? ? Not sure on this one, either. The best I can guess at the moment is Elsa Sorensen (September 1956). I just remembered that they titled her pictorial "Danish Pastry" -- and she was from Denmark. - Who was the first Playmate to show pubic hair? The very first appearance of pubic hair was in the August 1969 issue, by Paula Kelly. However, the first Playmate to show pubic hair was Liv Lindeland. She appeared in the January 1971 issue. She was also the Playmate of the Year. - Who was the first double sided Playmate of the Month? The first (and only) double sided Playmate of the Month was Nancy Cameron. She appeared in the January 1974 issue. - Who was the last Playmate of the Month in a stapled issue? The last Playmate of the Month to appear in a stapled issue was Venice Kong. She appeared in the September 1985 issue. - Who was the first Playmate of the Month in a glued issue? The first Playmate of the Month to appear in a glued issue was Cynthia Brimhall. She appeared in the October 1985 issue. - Who was the first Playmate with a Data Sheet? The first first Playmate to appear with a Data Sheet was Sondra Theodore. She appeared in the July 1977 issue. - Who was the first Playmate to sign her centerfold? The first Playmate to sign her center fold was Jill De Vries. She appeared in the October 1975 issue. - Who was the youngest Playmate of the Month? The legal age limit is, of course 18. However, supposedly Elizabeth Ann Roberts, who appeared in the January 1958 issue, was only 16 at the time. Her mother accompanied her to her photo session, and claimed that she was 18. She was also attending college at the time. Both Playboy and Miss Roberts' mother were charged with something like contributing to the delinquency of a minor, but charges were later dropped. The German edition has had at least two Playmates who were under the age of 18. One was Ursula Buchfellner who appeared in Germany's December 1977 issue. She was 16 at the time. She later appeared in American October 1979 issue. Joyce Nizzari and Penny Baker, who appeared in the December 1958 and January 1984 issues, were both 18 years old when they posed. Also, a member of the list claims knowledge of another underage appearance, but will not disclose his source or the Playmate. * Who was the oldest Playmate of the Month? The oldest Playmate of the Month was Cindy Brooks, who appeared in the April 1985 issue, was 33 years and 5 months old at the time. Others 30+ playmates include : : Julianna Young (November 1993) 33 years, 2 months : Kathleen Ann Shower (May 1985) 32 years, 2 months : Susie Diane Owens (March 1988) 31 years, 10 months : Bettie Page (January 1955) 31 years, 9 months : Arlene Baxter (December 1993) 31 years, 1 month : Janis Schmitt (February 1978) 30 years, 11 months : Eloise Broady (April 1988) 30 years, 11 months * Who was the last anonymous Playmate? The first centerfolds for Playboy were not actually taken by Playboy photographers. Playboy purchased nude photographs from calendar pinup photographers (notably Baumgarten Calendar Company, which supplied the famous Marilyn Monroe picture). The first Playmate to pose for Playboy directly was Eve Meyer, for the June 1955 issue. The last anonymous Playmate was Lynn Turner, in the January 1956 issue. - Who are the Anniversary Playmates? 5th, December 1958, Joyce Nizzari 10th, December 63, Donna Michelle 15th, January 69, Leslie Bianchini 20th, January 74, Nancy Cameron (the famous double sided centerfold) 25th, January 1979, Candy Loving 30th, January 1984, Penny Baker 35th, January 1989, Fawna Maclaren 40th, January 1994, Anna-Marie Goddard - Who has the most apperances on the cover of Playboy? Well, besides the rabbit that appears on every cover, I'm not sure. Femlin has appeared on 8 covers and Cynthia Maddox (who was Playboy's Assistant Cartoon Editor) and Lillian Muller have been on 5 each. - How many Playmates have been Playmate of the Month multiple times? The first Playmate to appear as the Playmate of the Month three times was Janet Pilgrim. She appeared in the July 1955, December 1955 and October 1956 issues. Interestingly, she was discovered from within Playboy. She was Playboy's Subscription Manager. The first Playmate to appear as the Playmate of the Month twice was Margie Harrison. She appeared in the January 1954 and June 1954 issues. Others include Marilyn Waltz in the April 1954 and April 1955 issues, and Margurite Empey in the May 1955 and February 1956 issues. - How many times have there been two Playmates of the Month? The first issue to feature two Playmates as Playmates of the Month was the October 1958 issue. The pictorial was titled "Le Rouge et le Blanc" and featured Pat Sheehan (a blonde) and Mara Corday (a redhead). The idea was that while some men would prefer one playmate over the other, the true playboy was a connoisseur and would appreciate the differing qualities of both equally. Pat Sheehan appeared on the usual three page foldout. Mara Corday was on the reverse of the lower two pages of Pat Sheehan's picture, so her "centerfold" was only two pages. Both said "Miss October / Playboy's Playmate of the Month" as per usual. The October 1970 and September 1989 issues also had two Playmates. (see the next question) - How many times have there been twins as Playmates of the Month? The first issue to feature twins as Playmates of the Month was the October 1970 issue. It features Mary and Madeleine Collinson. Others include : : Karin and Mirjam van Breeschooten, September 1989 : Sofie and Katrien Vergote, July 1991, Dutch edition * How many times have sisters or twins independently been Playmates of the Month? Janice Pennington, May 1971; Ann Penington March 1976 Other sisters have appeared, not as Playmates, but in the Newstand Special "Playboy's Sisters," published in February 1992. Also, Elaine Morton (May 1971) and Karen Morton (July 1978) were cousins. The Brazilian edition features Andreia Ramme (August 1993), Josie Ramme (August 1994), and Tatiana Ramme (October 1994). - How many Playmates have had daughters who were also Playmates? This has only happened once, to the best of my knowledge. Carol Eden was the December 1960 Playmate of the Month; her daughter Simone Eden followed in her footsteps as the February 1989 Playmate of the Month. However, Jane Mansfield (Miss February 1955), had a daughter Jayne Marie Mansfield who posed for a regular pictorial an Tamara Davis appeared with here daughters Dawn and Shannon in an August 1993 pictorial entitled "Like Mother, Like Daughters." - How many Playmates have appeared in movies or on television? Several. The file pm.files.v0.9 at the FTP site contains a list of Playmates and their film/television appearances. - How many Playmates have had the same name? This has happened twice. A Susie Scott appears in the February 1960 and May 1983 issues; A Jennifer Jackson appears in the March 1965 and April 1989 issues. * How many Playmates have appeared with multiple or fake names? This is all second-hand information, and probably _very_ incomplete, but : : Marilyn Monroe, 12/53: Norma Jean Baker, Norma Jean Mortenson : Dolores Del Monte, 3/54: Delores J.

This is probably a _very_ incomplete lists. I'd guess that lots of Playamtes have been married. : Eve Meyer : Bonnie Marino : Christina Leardini : Candy Loving : Suzy Simpson : Stacy Arthur : Ann Marie Goddard : Laurie Wood : Dorothy Stratton : Tracy Vaccaro : Kelly Burke : Debbie Ellison : Ashley Allen : Donna Perry - How many Playmates are deceased?

The article appeared in the September 1973 issue. - Who was the oldest woman to appear in a Playboy Pictorial? The oldest person to appear in a Playboy Pictorial (that I know of) was Terry Moore. She appeared in the August 1984 issue. At the time, she was 55.

Pictures where the model actually posed for Playboy, and pictures Playboy has obtained through other sources. A '*' after an issue indicates that the model appeared in a feature layout or article. Most of the rest are single pictures from such features as "Sex Stars" or "The Year in Sex." (just added this notation, so I haven't gone back to check each issue to see if it is a full pictorial or not; help me out if you can! ) The following women have voluntarily appeared in Playboy in various states of undress. : Andress,Ursula (actress), June, August, December 1965;

That depends on what condition you want the issue in. If it is a fairly recent issue, or a post-1960 issue and you aren't concerned about scuffs and folded pages/covers, check Appendix B for a dealer in your local area. If there isn't one, check out the reputable Mail Order dealers in Appendix C. Generally they have each issue in a wide range of conditions. It might cost a little more than what you might pay in a local store, but will probably be in better condition. You can also watch the local classifieds under collectables for someone selling their collection at a bargain price. Most of the time they won't sell individual issues, but it can't hurt to ask. If you are looking for older issues, or want higher quality older issues, you'll have to do a little more work. First, check any local dealers. It's unlikely, but not impossible, that they'll have good quality magazines, but you may get a bargin! Again, watch the classified section of your local news paper, under collectables. On occasion someone will sell an entire collection, often at a good price. Make sure you see the collection before you buy, and check the condition of every issue, if you have time. If you want top quality condition issues, check the list of reputable dealers in Appendix C. You will definately pay more, but, as they say, you get what you pay for. You could even place your own ad in the wanted section, asking for an entire collection in good condition. And again, watch the classified section of your local news paper, under collectables. Make sure you see the collection before you buy it, and check the condition of every issue. There are also several newsgroups on the internet that regularly have postings about Playboy magazines for sale. However, it is kind of risky since you don't know the person, and they usually want payment in advance. This is ok if you want a fairly cheap issues, but I wouldn't recommend buying a December 1953 issues without making arrangements to see it first. Having said that, some of the news- groups you could check include : : alt.mag.playboy : alt.sex.erotica.marketplace : alt.sex.movies : alt.sex.magazines --------------------------------------------------------------------- Storage Issues -------------- - How should I store my back-issues of Playboy? It really depends on how serious you are and how much money you have to spend. If you are very very serious, and want permanent, archival storage, you should use mylar/acid-free bags and boxes, with acid free backing boards (to prevent corners and edges from wrinkling and bending). This can be expensive, but will offer the best protection for the magazine. Even if you are very very serious, bear in mind that the circulation of Playboy increased dramatically in the early 60s. It may be a bit of overkill to store these more easily obtainable issues with mylar/ acid-free bags and boxes. One of the better suggestions I've heard was to go all out for the first 100 issues, then use the less expensive Polyethylene bags for issues after that. If you are moderately serious, comic shops and collectors shops often have Polyethylene or plastic bags that will fit Playboy for about 7-8 dollars per 100. Some places may have bags that seal (ala ziploc baggies) to make them airtight. It is generally thought this is bad, because temperature and air pressure variations could cause water vapor to come out of the air trapped in the bag, damaging the magazine. Also, it has been reported that sandwhich bags commonly available in grocery stores will cause the magazine to fade due to both the bags and the paper Playboy is printed on are clay based. * I can't find bags/backing boards locally. Where can I get them? : Mylar/Acid free bags ($$$) Polyethylene bags : --------------------------- ------------------------- : Bill Cole Enterprises Bags Unlimited * : P.O. Box 60 7 Canal Street : Randolph, MA 02368-0060 Rochester, New York 14608 : (617) 986-2653 (800) 767-BAGS * Bags Unlimited has free samples (first time only), I recommend products SMAG3 or SMAGL3. - I've found a source for bags/backing boards. What size do I need? The size bag you need depends on the size of each magazine, and whether or not you also plan on using acid free backing boards. For recent issues, 8 1/2" x 11" should be ok. I recomend a flap of at least 1 1/2". For older issues, especially Christmas issues from the Eighties, or if you want to use acid free backing boards, 9" x 11" is pretty much a minimum. If you can find them, bags that are slightly longer than 11" (11 1/8" or more) are great. If you put the magazine and board in the bag and it bends or warps, you need a wider bag. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Appendix A ---------- - Contacting Foreign Editions of Playboy For information on subscribing to foreign editions, contact the appropriate office below.
