Playboy May 1994

COVER STORY Nude for all the world to see—here and in her film, Sirens—is swimsuit supermodel Elle Macpherson. "It's about the power of sensuality," says Elle, "but with a wink." The boss Aussie and Herb Ritts pay homage to Brigitte Bardot, thus adding camp to sensuality. Many thanks to stylist Kate Harrington of Visages, Francesca Tolot of Cloutier for Elle's makeup and Peter Savic of Paul Mitchell Salon Haircare for her hair, which our Rabbit adorns. 3 PLAYBILL 9 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 18 MEDIA by DAVID HEILBRONER 20 MOVIES by BRUCE WILLIAMSON 25 VIDEO 26 STYLE 28 WIRED 30 JAZZ by NEIL TESSER 32 MUSIC 34 BOOKS by DIGBY DIEHL 36 FITNESS SMARTS by JON KRAKAUER 38 MEN by ASA BABER 39 WOMEN by CYNTHIA HEIMEL 41 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 43 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 51 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 53 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: RON HOWARD—candid conversation 68 SNOW WHITE REDUX—humor JAMES FINN GARNER 72 BUNNY'S HONEYS—pictorial text by BUCK HENRY 80 HOW DIRTY PICTURES CHANGED MY LIFE—article LISA PALAC 84 BAD GIRLS—celebration 90 PLAYBOY'S ELECTRONIC LEXICON—modern living JONATHAN TAKIFF 92 ON YOUR MARKS—playboy's playmate of the month 104 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 106 DOGS WALKED, PLANTS WATERED—fiction LAWRENCE BLOCK 108 THANK GOD IT'S CASUAL FRIDAY—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 114 20 QUESTIONS: DENIS LEARY 116 PLAYBOY'S 1994 BASEBALL PREVIEW—sports KEVIN COOK 120 BARELY THERE—pictorial 122 WHERE THERE'S SCHMOKE ...—playboy profile ROGER SIMON 135 DRUGS DECRIMINALIZED: HOW SCHMOKE WOULD DO IT 124 ELLE—pictorial 141 WHERE & HOW TO BUY 163 PLAYBOY ON THE SCENE
