Playboy Magazine Recreates Vintage Covers for 'Iconic' Playmate Celebration

Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Kogan got the jump on something that will be all over the Internet Sunday. A celebration of Playboy Playmates from the past by the magazine’s energetic new scion Cooper Hefner.

Hefner told Kogan that the idea of reconnecting with former ladies of the month or year and having them redo their original magazine cover poses, all these years later, was something that just “popped into his head” at a meeting:

“The idea was to honor, to commemorate some of the Playmates who have maintained a relationship with us through the decades,” he says.
