Where's the bunny head?

If you read (past tense) the magazine you would know there was a little game of hide and seek. Even before you opened the cover. This one was obvious. It was a bit like finding Nina in a Hirschfeld. Anyone know what I'm talking about?


When I turned eighteen I started buying my own. I had a sense of duty to find out "What sort of man reads playboy?". Eventually had a subscription for about four years. So many covers. So much fun. What do you remember about the revolutionary periodical?

Yes. That was the obvious one. Sometimes it's obvious.


Other times it was frustrating. Especially when it was in the curls of the covergirls' hair.


Of course when it was too difficult you got the answer at the bottom of the table of contents.

Thank you so much for this thread!

I have two Playboy magazines from 1955 (pictured below) in excellent condition which were gifted to me by a wonderful client! They are wrapped up in plastic and kept in a safe place. I looked online and some of the editions are going for thousands. Nonetheless, I will be holding on to these for a very, very long time.

September 1954 - This issue featured a lot of black musicians and jazz artists. Which, I have great respect for Hugh Hefner because he provided a platform for black entertainers as he welcomed them to perform on his show, Playboy After Dark when other network didn't want to at that time.




November 1954

If you read any of the Playboy magazines, you can surely recall some the humorous cartoons in them. I myself was very fond of the illustrations from Doug Sneyd.

That's why we read it for the articles. And short stories.

Thank you ladies for being the first to reply. Whatever my reputation on here, you bitches rock! LOL

I remember the level of disgust and embarrassment I felt when I found my father's coveted Playboy issues. With my parents being married at the time, I believed that having a magazine with naked women was a cardinal sin.

Nonetheless, I confronted my father and he explained to me that Playboy was a magazine for male entertainment, not for adultery. When I got older, I finally understood what he meant when I purchased one of the magazines for myself.

Which, I found Playboy to be somewhat of a reminiscent of GQ and Esquire. It catered to the ideas, interests and well-being of men. Also, It wasn't all that much about sex.

Now Hustler Magazine? That's a different animal.
