COVER STORY Candy Collins, a former Chicago Bunny of the Year, stars in an update of a July 1964 cover designed by former Associate Art Director Reid Austin. In 1964, Austin drew the lipstick Rabbit on cover girl Cynthia Maddox' tummy (a historic moment
pictured in last month's 25th Anniversary Issue), and this year Executive Art
Director Tom Staebler did the honors to Collins' anatomy—obviously a return
navel engagement.
