Playboy January 2000 Magazine

COVER STORY
It's been 35 years since Peter Max first designed for PLAYBOY. And, as Hef himself might say, what goes around comes around. "The Sixties were all about new ideas and aspirations," says PLAYBOY Art Director Tom Staebler. "We wanted to capture that same excitement for the millennium." PLAYBOY and Peter Max and the Bunny—may they prosper for another 100 years.
