COVER STORY
Playboy salutes the North American housewife in a special pictorial—and Margie Murphy kicks off the celebration. Our cover was produced by Senior Photo Editor Michael Ann Sullivan, styled by Violet Warzecha and shot by Contributing Photographer Richard Fegley. Thanks to Panache for Margie's bracelet, Philip Cantrell
for her earrings, Margies for her dress and Pat Tomlinson for hair and make-up.
Our Rabbit speaks with forked tongue.
