Playboy January 1996

COVER STORY
James Brown is the hardest-working man in show business. On our cover this month is Miss February 1990, known to the world as the hardest-working woman in the bikini-stuffing business. It's no wonder Pamela Anderson's marriage to Tommy Lee has made a billion men jealous. We attribute it to the Power of Pamela. Thanks to Stephen Wayda for shooting our sexy cover. Our Rabbit, fickle as ever, was overheard muttering, "Hare today, gone tomorrow."
