My absolute favorite Playmate of all time. It absolutely blew my teenage mind that Playboy would have a centerfold with short hair AND moderate proportions. I was sooo not into the look of most Playboy centerfolds that I was seriously only interested in the interview of the month, the journalism (especially politics), and the monthly author highlight. Oh, and the celebrity-of-the-month nudes.
If I may suggest some non-smut reading, some of the most impactful reading of the first 18 years of my life were the Playboy interviews. MLK Jr, Malcom X, Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro, Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Nicholson (1972, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), Gene Simmons (coincidentally the same issue as Kata Kârkkâinen)...
Of course, finding the bunny on every cover was always the first thing to do upon seeing a new issue.
Edit to add: In the early 90s, I got to meet and chat with Arny Freytag and Richard Fegley (not at the same time). Their ethos on photography guided my whole approach to photography with everything being in-camera, lighting, film selection, and paper selection, no retouching. When I became an audio engineer, I carried that ethos forward: one take, room selection for acoustics, as little post-processing as possible.
