Playboy April 2010

COVER STORY
We haven't slipped on a pair of Guess jeans since the Reagan presidency, but we never stopped monitoring their ads for Madison Avenue's best creation: the Guess girl. We sent Raphael Mazzucco to Africa to photograph the newest traffic stopper, Candice Boucher. And if you guessed her necklace forms our Rabbit, you're correct.
