I was strangely saddened by the news of Playgirl’s print passing last week; I somehow have nostalgia about this magazine, although I’m not sure why. I thought we might take a trip down cover memory lane together, and explore the magazine’s trajectory. They started off in 1974 with Burt, which is an auspicious a start as any, I imagine.
Along the way they had some truly classy folks posing for us– Meryl and Chevy, oh my! And don’t forget to notice those A-list photographers; Brigitte Lacombe and even Annie Leibovitz got in on this action.
But by the ’90s they were on to celebrity stock, and in the ’00s– well, you’ll see.
