7 Playboy’s Playmates Recreate Their Own Magazine Covers Around 30 Years Later
Playboy is not only the most famous magazine in the world, but it is also a kind of cultural phenomenon. Running for almost 70 years now, the magazine created a sexual revolution in the US upon its release. No other magazine combined naked girls (called Playmates), short stories from such writers as Haruki Murakami and Margaret Atwood, artworks from famous cartoonists and interviews with interesting people at the time. Being a creative magazine, the Playboy also does all sorts of interesting photos.
Recently Playboy magazine has recreated their cover photos of 7 Playboy girls, and the results are beautiful. Featuring Kimberley Conrad Hefner (1988), Charlotte Kemp (1982), Cathy St. George (1982), Monique St. Pierre (1978), Renee Tenison (1989), Candace Collins (1979), and Lisa Matthews (1990) - the Playboy covers were recreated by photographers Ben Miller and Ryan Lowry for Playboy, around 30 years after the releases of the previous ones. Every single one proves that beauty is timeless and women, no matter if they were Playboy bunnies or not, can be sexy at any age. As Hugh Hefner once said: "Once a Playmate, always a Playmate."

Kimberley Conrad Hefner, Playmate Of The Year 1989, January Playmate 1988
I like the older version even better. I need to marry the Heff for a bit so that I can age like that!
Load More Replies...And generous airbrushing. And photoshop.
Load More Replies...I think she looks so much more beautiful now - the before looks too young be "sexy" - her now is sultry!
she radiates more strength and convidence now than in the original picture.. Prefer her present looks
This is ridiculous. No 60 yr old looks like that. They also used lazy blurring techniques on her chest and around the eyes. It's not even great photoshop. This defeats the whole purpose of the photoshoot if you're just going to remove the years anyway.
Reneé Tenison, Playmate Of The Year 1990, November 1989 Playmate
photoshop. shadow is too perfect, look at the underboob part
Load More Replies...No sheeeet mon! She looks the same!!!! Blacks will never be equal if they keep making us white folk that jealous! I wish I looked like her.
Load More Replies...Can we just talk about how pretty her face looks in the "now" picture ? She looks like she's become prettier with age ...
She didn't have to have work done. Melanin stops the sun from aging a person. It's true when they say that black doesn't crack.
Please lol she had work done just like the others they all look completely different. And I've seen ALOT of black people age terribly melanin is a tiny factor it depends on hydration, stress, bad habits like cigarettes and stupid facial expressions etc. It sounded good though.
Load More Replies...Yes, and the second reminds me on Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), somehow.

I love this one the most because she's aged so much more naturally and clearly isn't afraid of that! I think she's lovely <3
By far, the best one because it looks actually legitimate - the first few, they look gorgeous, but not really believable.
I agree Benj. this is a reasonable look 30 yrs later.
Load More Replies...I'm glad makeup techniques have evolved since '79. Otherwise she looks beautiful! I love the way she's aged--she's so fierce!!
I feel like her makeup is very tame for the 70s!
Load More Replies...Still extraordinary, though! I know there's always some photoshop but dang her skin is fantastic!

Cathy St. George, August Playmate 1982
If this woman came on to me---even at my advanced age---I would run to my doctor for Viagra! Or anything else that would help! I don't care if the photo is altered by technology, she's still much more sexier to me than the other models displayed here.
Charlotte Kemp Muhl, December Playmate 1982
Is it just me or does she look a little like Nicole Kidman? Especially in the after picture?
In the second picture she has a look like my mother when she found the empty Nutela jars in my drawer.
Monique St. Pierre, Playmate Of The Year 1979, November Playmate 1978
These surgeries make them look nothing like they used to. I bet they look at old pictures and don,t even recognise themselves
You won't look anything like you do now when get close to 70 either. Things change.
Load More Replies...I have a love/hate relationship with this. I'm thinking a lot of this is cosmetic surgery. While I support anyones right to alter their physical appearance, this also puts a lot of pressure on women to continue to be "perfect" even into old age.
this one does not look like the same person -- time has changed her more than the others
These would be better without all the photoshop. If it's a celebration of their continued beauty, then we should see them in a more natural light.
as in typical playboy fashion, there's a TON of photoshopping that's been done!
Lovely, I'll admit. But let's be honest here. These have had a lot of help from Dr. Photoshop.
Candace Collins is the only one without any plastic work done but they're all beautiful
Load More Replies...Bla bla bla... That's so awesome, women can be objectified even when they get older, let's celebrate this incredible achievement! And ladies, never ever forget to be beautiful. F*ck everything else!
"And ladies, never ever forget to be beautiful. F*ck everything else!" Says who? You? What do you know about their private lives? What do you know about their contributions to the world? Who's being shallow here? Just because they're featured in a man's magazine they're shallow? It that what defines them as persons? "You're not your job" is usually what's said about someone working menial jobs. You know, regular people. Why doesn't that apply here too? Again, who's being shallow here?
Load More Replies...They all look great now as mature women. They are sexy and beautiful. Yeah yeah.. photshop.. make up.. surgery.. whatever... WE KNOW. I think they look great in the covers. So, people.. chill and relax a bit. Just enjoy the beauty of the photos.
When breasts are perkier 30 years later, there is something going on! I mean, what wonderful diets they must have, right!?
Didn't see any perkier, did see the fuller breast that comes with age, as well as some Photoshop
