Marilyn Lange  
Janet Lupo  
Petra Verkaik  
Cynthia Myers (trivia : her centerfold is in the movie _Hamburger Hill_)

I’ll let the reader find his own pictures of these fine ladies.

Yeah, I was trying to find this one shot of her wearing nothing but four inch fuck-me pumps, bending backward with her head thrown back and her hair was almost to the floor–g’guhh! My Google Fu is lacking in power, however, probably due to inappropriate lust weakening my moral fibers or something.

I’d go 100% lesbo for that chick, circa '78… 😛 \<—her in '78, not me, that is! Because I’m much more capable of doing a number on a chick now than I was then and it’s disrespectful to perfection not to do your best work on it… I’ll shut up now…

_slow golf clap_

I wholeheartedly encourage more female tales on this thread. Actually…screw this…maybe we should limit to only females…

How times change.

First, they didn’t show pubic hair.

Then, they did.

Now they don’t, because the models shave.

Ah, progress.

Patti McGwire (McGuire??) from the famous “Jimmy Carter” Playboy interview issue in 1976 (November 1976, IIRC). Probably the first issue I ever got hold of - ‘liberated’ from a house where I was babysitting at the time.

At work, so I can’t/daren’t search for any links.

Actually, the numbers quoted aren’t entirely accurate anyway. First pubes in Playboy were Marguerite Empey’s back in '56. It’s one instance where Playboy itself is wrong on their own website.

Yes, I can back this up. I have a scan of the picture somewhere–an absolutely terrifying underwater shot that looks like something out of Dagon. 🙂

The only problem is that the photographers always seem to have an insatiable need to be arty and shit for the celebrity pictorials. I’d rather they forgot about the black-and-white film and the distracting thematic stuff.

heffshappyhouse . blogspot . com/2006/02/centrefold-archive . html Here is a link to a centerfold archive. **It is safe**. You have to click again to get to the nekkid pictures. However they only have up to the '79 in there.

For that last noe, 1971’s Willy Rey is my fave … she’s a voluptuous (even for a centerfold) redhead. Dunno about the freckles. Don’t care. She is about the hottest-looking babe ever.

Heck, it could easily be argued that most of this thread is about nothing other than female tails!

Not bad. I was able to use wikipedia to figure out my 3rd forgotten favorite. Heather Carolin. I was wrong about the “Caroline”.

Jamie Lynn (what-ever-her-last-name-is), the Penthouse Pet of the Year for 2005.

Why, you may ask?

Because yesterday her mother gave me and two friends copies of the issue where she was proclaimed the PoftheY. The mother was acting as maid of honor for a friend who was getting married and we had been invited. She had gotten the copies at the brides request and had her daughter sign them for us.

Ms Hook had this to say, “Oh yeah, this is a marriage custom that’s going to catch on, giving out porn to the guests.”

Um. Getting married again soon?

You may wanna just ditch the female, then re-bag her later in the week. Lather, rinse, repeat.
