COVER STORY PLAYBOY's fabulous forties: The girls next door are all grown up. For cover girl Victoria Jacobs, life has just begun at 40. She stays young by running, working out and "falling in love with love." Our cover was produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, styled by Lane Coyle-Dunn and shot by Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda. Thanks to Alexis Vogel for styling Vicky's hair and makeup. Our Rabbit is all laced up for Valentine's Day.
