Playboy February 1984

COVER STORY In olden days, a glimpse of stocking was shocking. Now, heaven knows, everything shows. But a frill here and a garter there still lend a flair, as Miss January 1982, Kimberly McArthur, showed photographer J. Frederick Smith. Kim's 19th Century corset and brooch were provided by Lydia-vestiti antichi, of New York. The photo was produced by Associate Photo Editor Janice Moses. 5 PLAYBILL 11 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 15 DEAR PLAYBOY 19 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 33 MEN BY ASA BABER 35 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 37 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 39 DEAR PLAYMATES 43 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 49 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: PAUL SIMON—candid conversation 52 SELF-DESTRUCTION OF AN ALL-AMERICAN ART SCHLICHTER with DICK SCHAAP 56 101 NIGHTS WITH JOHNNY—pictorial 62 FORKY—fiction ANDRE DUBUS III 65 O BEAUTIFUL FOR SPACIOUS WINES—drink EMANUEL GREENBERG 66 COVER STORIES—pictorial 72 SO HOT, SO COOL, SO HURT—personality E JEAN CARROLL 74 THE LOWEDOWN ON SWEATERS—attire HOLLIS WAYNE 80 THE ENTREPRENEUR QUIZ JOSEPH R.
