Playboy January 1987

COVER STORY If the Rabbit Head looks like a costume for a dancer in the Folies-Bergere, it's because the artist Erté, who created it, also designed outfits for the renowned Parisian extravaganza. Erté, an early practitioner of art deco who recently celebrated his 94th birthday, once designed a costume for the famous spy Mato Hari. This time, he's glamorizing the Mighty Hare. 3 PLAYBILL 9 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 29 SPORTS BY DAN JENKINS 30 MEN BY ASA BABER 32 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 35 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 39 DEAR PLAYMATES: WOULD YOU EVER HAVE SEX WITH A STRANGER? 41 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 49 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: DON JOHNSON—candid conversation 66 TO CRUSH THE SERPENT—article JAMES BALDWIN 71 THE PLAYBOY GALLERY 76 THE BEST—compendium 84 RANDY NEWMAN'S GUIDE TO LIFE as told to DAVID SHEFF 88 MARILYN—pictorial text by HUGH M.
