Sold Out
In every field there's a standard of excellence. If one is weighing the purchase
of a fine car, one thinks of Rolls-Royce. Diamonds? Tiffany. French cuisine? Those
few establishments honored with the supreme three-star accolade of the "Guide
Michelin." When it comes to standards in such areas as artistic taste, photographic
quality and—especially—feminine beauty, a consensus is more difficult
to achieve. Nevertheless, we're confident that if one posed the question "Where,
over the past couple of decades, could one find the most beautiful photographic
tributes to women?" the answer would overwhelmingly be, in PLAYBOY magazine.
Best-known examples are, of course, our Playmates of the Month, the girls who
have graced the magazine's gatefold with each issue since our debut with the celebrated
Marilyn Monroe calendar nude back in December 1953. Over the years our Misses
January, February, March and their sisters have proved to be the magazine's most
durably popular single feature. But, despite their preeminence, the Playmates
are by no means the only beauties who have found a congenial home in our pages.
For example, consider Playboy's other exclusive coterie, the Bunnies, who staff
the 17 Playboy Clubs, five hotels and Hugh M. Hefner's posh DC-9 jet, the "Big
Bunny." Playboy keyholders see the cottontails in person regularly; readers
make their acquaintance less frequently, but memorably, in features both regional
("The Bunnies of New York," "The Bunnies of Detroit") and
annual ("Bunnies of 1971," et al.).
Then there are our cover girls: models, many of them; Bunnies and Playmates, some
of them; even Playboy Building office workers—all eye-catching, each sporting
somewhere a new rendition of the familiar Playboy Rabbit symbol. And we mustn't
neglect our regular uncoverage of attractive actresses, both established Hollywood
figures and aspiring screen hopefuls: Jane Fonda, Stella Stevens, Ursula Andress,
Elke Sommer, Paula Pritchett, Paula Kelly, Brigitte Bardot—and on and on.
There's nothing provincial about PLAYBOY or its readers, and, believing that the
process of learning about any area of the world should ideally, and most delightfully,
include some information about the local lovelies, we've instituted "Playboy's
Girls of the World" features, circling the globe. Still more girls are seen
in fashion layouts, as guests partying at a gourmet buffet or splashing at a yacht
party.
All in all, in the past 20 years, we figure we've published nearly 10,000 pictures
of women, not counting those in cartoons or paid advertising. That's an educated
guess; we haven't actually counted, and, no, we're not taking applications from
volunteers to do the job. We've had fun selecting the 151 pictures that appear
in this book and on its cover. We think you, too, will enjoy looking them over
and choosing your own personal favorites.
