COVER STORY
Why is Rockville Centre, New York, going wild? Because native daughter Karen Velez is our 1985 Playmate of the Year. Our cover, shot by Contributing Photographer Richard Fegley and produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, features Karen in a pose that's suitably suggestive of Venus. Want to join our celebration of Karen's coronation? Turn to page 128.
