Playboy readers, come on down! This month's showcase features Dian Parkinson, the blonde beauty who some hail as the queen of daytime TV. The red-hot hostess of The Price Is Right graces our prizeworthy cover, produced by West Coast Photo
Editor Marilyn Grabowski, styled by Francesca Passeri and shot by Contributing
Photographer Stephen Wayda, with hair and make-up by Alexis Vogel. Our Rabbit
never feels strapped in.
