Playboy's Girls of Playboy # 1 (3rd Print) Magazine TABLE OF CONTENTSIn 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 a!.).
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.
