Playboy August 1999

COVER STORY
What does Nell McAndrew have in common with Tomb Raider LAra Croft? They share a taste for action, champagne and hot chocolate, and—oh, yes—England's belle Nell was the original model for the video cybervixen Lara. Our cover this month was shot by Richard McLaren and styled by Chris Baker. Nell's hair was styled by Laurent D. for Privé, with makeup by Klexius Kolby for Visages style. Our ever-fashionable Rabbit looks darn goods in camouflage.
