EDITORIAL NOTE
The Skinny
We at CELEBRITY SKIN have decided to spend the last days of the 20th century on
a beach, watching Geena Davis frolic in the nude. Geena's accomplished quite a
lot in her rime: she's qualified for Mensa membership; earned award nominations
for some of her more serious acting roles; subjected her long, lean bod to the
rigors of action films; married three times; and even tried outfor the U.S. Olympic
archery team. Sightings of Geena in all her naked splendor, however, have been
as rare as...well, the turning of the century. Even at age forty-two, she still
turns heads. There's plenty more to be seen of Geena in Grin & Bare It, not
to mention new nudes of Elle MacPherson and Rosie Perez.
We're alsoilooking ahead to the year 2000...and what better way than with a contest
in which one lucky reader could win a free trip to Hollywood! Inside, you'll find
Death Race 2000, an eight-page "dead pool" mini-mag in which we pick
the stars we think are least likely to survive the Y2K. Just like any other dead
pool, you're invited to do some speculating of your own. Pick more stiffs than
us and you could win a tour of the sites where some of Tinseltown's greatest legends
took their final breaths! You'll find complete contest rules and an entry form
inside the mini-mag. Good luck with your grave predictions...you're gonna need
it!
In keeping with-the ghoulish theme of the issue, we're paying tribute to the Sexy
Scream Queens Of The 1990s, as the third and final entry in Kevin Williamson's
Scream series hits theaters. Many of today's hottest celebutantes have cashed
in on the latest wave of teen horror flicks, and we've got them in the raw: Neve
Campbell, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Sarah Michelle
Geller, Katie Holmes and more.
Of course, we would be remiss if we failed to also recognize the boclacious bods
that blazed the trail for today's damsels in dietress. Vintage Victims is our
homage to the godmother of;all scream queens, Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as the
B-movie bombshells who bravely gave up their clothes so that others may live:
Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer, Deborah Dutch, and Brinke Stevens, to name a few.
Plus, we've got the latest on-screen nudes you crave from such hot babes as Nicole
Kidman (Eyes Wide Shut), Rene Russo (The Thomas Crown Affair), and Kate Winslet
(Hideous Kinky). It's all our way of saying: "Happy New Year, and welcome
to the 21st Century!"
