I appreciate the writer's citing Playboy covers, but definitely not his accuracy. It looks like he didn't bother to check the cover credits for the actual model in many cases, and just decided to say it was that issue's Playmate. Like no one would know? > '71 probably wasn't the best year for Playboy covers in this particular > decade (that would be 1974, as you shall see), but at least *August 1971*made > up for the lackluster earlier months with this one, featuring Cathy Rowland > in a pair of short shorts. Miss August '71 Cathy Rowland in short shorts is fine by me, but this is Christy Miller. > Oh, Susan Miller, *Septem**ber 1972*. You vanished into history with the rest > of these amazing Playboy cover models... Playmate Susan never vanished as a PB cover model because she never was one; the model was leggy Sandra Jozefski. > It's *April 1973*, and a first-class postage stamp costs 60 cents. Playboy > costs one dollar. Put that together with a model licking a postage stamp on > the cover of the Playboy and you have something we would pay $400 for -- in > 2009 money. Licking is good, especially when it's Lenna Sjooblom, Miss November '72. At least he didn't get her confused with Julie Woodson. > November 1973*. If Cigar Aficionado ever produced a cover half as hot as this > one... Which would be Anne Randall, Miss May '67. > *April 1974*. Now, this is what we're talkin' about: finally, Playboy graces > us with a great, fully-featured, undoctored (we hope) display of pure *butt*. > Marlene Morrow kind of looks like Goldie Hawn here, but thankfully she's more > Young Goldie Hawn, before Scary Goldie Hawn took over. Marlene kind of looks like Goldie, and so does the cover model, but she's not Goldie nor Marlene, she's Carron June Sliger. > June 1974* and the United States in crisis, with Watergate raging on. That > wasn't the only thing raging at the time -- especially after everyone spotted > the cover of this issue, notable for the Playmate of the Month slipping a > nip. Hell, she may have invented the now-common practice. (Also, the > photographer's name is Sandy* Johnson* and the playmate's name is Cyndi > *Wood*...) The nip-slipper is Cyndi Wood, the Playmate of the Year on her June cover, and Sandy Johnson, is, of course, this issue's centerfold. > July 1974* continued Playboy's incredible run of covers that year with > another of our favorite images: the wet T-shirt, partially lifted up. This is > definitely not one of those issues where you read all the articles -- in > fact, how could anything inside ever top that first image of Carol Vitale in > all her glory? Maybe Christine Maddox, Miss December '73? Carol lifted other things inside. > It was a boiling-hot summer in *August 1974* when Playboy Playmate Jean > Manson and photographer Lynnda Kimball hatched the idea... Sort of right. Jean was the Playmate, but the cover model - not photographer - was Lynnda Kimball, the upcoming Miss January '75. > Playboy continued its unstoppable year with the *October 1974* issue, which > starred Ester Cordet in four rapturous poses... Nope. That's Suzann Sherry. Ester starred in the centerfold. > November 1975* is the month Playboy finally put a woman touching herself on > the cover. The world was a happy place during those four weeks, we're pretty > sure. Not as happy as Patti McClain, Miss May '76.
