Centerfold Stripper Midgets Chickens 39 2010 Shankbone
The centerfold or centrefold of a magazine is the inner pages of the middle sheet, usually containing a portrait, such as a pin-up or a nude. The term can also refer to the model featured in the portrait. In saddle-stitched magazines (as opposed to those that are perfect-bound), the centerfold does not have any blank space cutting through the image. The term was coined by Hugh Hefner, founder of ''Playboy'' magazine. The success of the 1953 first issue of ''Playboy'' has been attributed in large part to its centerfold: a nude of Marilyn Monroe. The advent of monthly centerfolds gave the pin-up a new respectability, and helped to sanitize the notion of "sexiness". Being featured as a centerfold could lead to film roles for models, and still occasionally does today. Early on, Hefner required ''Playboy'' centerfolds to be portrayed in a very specific way, telling photographers in a 1956 memo that the "model must be in a natural setting engaged in some activity 'like reading, wr ...

A Playmate is a female model featured in the centerfold/gatefold of ''Playboy'' magazine as Playmate of the Month (PMOTM). The PMOTM's pictorial includes nude photographs and a centerfold poster, along with a pictorial biography and the "Playmate Data Sheet", which lists her birthdate, measurements, turn-ons, and turn-offs. At the end of the year, one of the 12 Playmates of the Month is named Playmate of the Year (PMOTY). Every Playmate of the Month is awarded a prize of US$25,000 and each Playmate of the Year receives an additional prize of US$100,000 plus a car (specifically, a short-term lease of a car) and other discretionary gifts. In addition, Anniversary Playmates are usually chosen to celebrate a milestone year of the magazine.

''Playboy'' encourages potential Playmates to send photos with "girl next door" appeal for consi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Penthouse Pets
This is a list of the models who have appeared in the American edition of ''Penthouse'' magazine and were either named Pet of the Month or Pet of the Year from September 1969 to the present. Pet of the Year names are in bold type and are typically featured in the January issue of the year for which they are selected. Unlike ''Playboy'', it may be several years before a model becomes "Pet of the Year" after their initial centerfold. No model was selected in 1985. Contrary to what has been written over the years by various media, the first Pet of the Year was not Evelyn Treacher. (Treacher was on the cover of the first US edition, September 1969 and was named the first Pet of the Month.) The selection for the American edition of the magazine was not announced until the May 1971 issue. A few months later in the September 1971 issue, the first US Pet of the Year was selected and pictured on the cover, the winner being Stephanie McLean. Pets of the Month Sources: 1969–1979 1980 ...

Hustler (magazine)
''Hustler'' is a monthly pornographic magazine published by Larry Flynt Publications (LFP) in the United States.

In the 1990s, ''Hustler'', like several of its competitors, began featuring hardcore depictions of sexual penetration and oral sex. Today, ''Hustler'' is still considered more explicit (and more self-consciously lowbrow) than such well-known competitors as ''Playboy'' and ''Penthouse''.
