Editorial Note
When we were given the licence to publish PLAYGIRL in SA one of our first tasks was to page through two years worth of magazines from the USA. We needed to study the format and also source the most alluring pictorials to publish in conjunction with our local talent. After all, we didn't want our readers to miss out on anything major. Having to scrutinize all those gorgeous bods was the most breathtaking undertaking I have ever participated in. I must admit we were all somewhere in cloud cuckoo land during the process and still floating around oblivious to the real world for some time afterwards. I certainly wouldn't suggest to any woman that she read 24 PLAYGIRL magazines all in one go-anything could happen... One conclusion we did come to, however (we were after all supposed to be working) was that *omen's tastes in men vary dramatically from size and shape to nationality and colour. There was nevertheless one pictorial which we all agreed was the most erotic we had ever laid eyes on and that was John Holiday's, Lesson In Life, which we featured in last months issue. I was therefore not the slightest bit surprised when he was crowned Man of the Year 1995. Turn to page 34 and let John stir your animal instincts and take you to unsurpassed heights of erotic ecstasy. Another treat this month is PLAYGIRL SA's very first local interview. You may already have noted that PLAYGIRL's tete a fetes are quite unique. Its intriguing what people are prepared to reveal if they're only asked! Our chat with Steve was an absolute pleasure and you can expect to find more local celebrities gracing our pages in issues to come. Of course: we have our normal line up of fun and fantasy to help you escape from the everyday. and, by the way, PLAYGIRL needs more hunks to contribute to our Real Men pates. So please send in photos of those cute guys you know from work or your boyfriends or husbands. Lastly, make sure you savour every last delicious mouthful of your Easter egg. Enjoy the heavenly, ecstatic experience of letting the chocolate slowly melt in your mouth, sensually stimulating your hormones before you read our feature on page 42 and have a happy Easter.
