Playboy April 1980

COVER STORY
Shari Shattuck, the lady holding the Rabbit mike so very delicately, is an Atlanta model whose extraordinarily cute tush is attributable to her years of training as a competitive ice skater. Executive Art Director Tom Staebler designed and photographed the cover and Jerry Adams styled Shari's hair. And what's Shari trying to tell you? That we've got a great music issue for you, with The Year in Music (on page 181) and a Playboy Interview with Linda Ronstadt. Boogie!
