Playboy cover from April '55

I saw on another forum where a guy found a Playboy magazine from his birth month and year at a flea market so he bought it.

Sounds interesting right? So down that rabbit hole I go looking for the April 1955 cover photo... my birth month.

Well that was a bit... disappointing.
Sigh

Feel free to add yours if found... as long as it is appropriate for the forum.

Endeavor to persevere.

Very unique thread idea, cparktd!!

Yes...mine is a little more interesting. I present to you, January 1961:

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Playboy didn't exist when I was born (10/50)

Not that that makes me feel old or anything...

I wonder if I can find a cover from Stone Age and Cave Man Weekly...

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

I dare someone here to find one more boring than my birth year and month... June of '57:

Yes. IIRC things started getting more "revealing" in the 70's. The advent of Penthouse and Hustler might have had something to do with that.

Yeah, 1951 isn’t there either.

My cover girl was Barbara Cameron. And I can buy her issue on Ebay for $64. Since she is now in her 90s, I think I will pass.
