Turkish Actress Wants to Liberate Women With German Playboy Spread

"I feel like Che Guevara," she says

German Playboy is getting some major publicity thanks to Sila Sahin, a 25 year-old Turkish-German soap opera star who has caused outrage in the Muslim community by posing topless on the cover of the magazine’s May issue. She is the first Turkish woman ever to be featured nude in Playboy.

Sahin said that her goal in posing for the original lad mag was to provide a “call to arms” to girls from strict and often sexually repressive backgrounds, even going so far as to compare herself to Che Guevara in the interview accompanying the 12-page pictorial.
