Playboy December 1994

COVER STORY Playboy's fifth Bo Derek pictorial is a special holiday salute to the woman who refined feminine perfection. As she approaches 40, Bo is every bit as alluring and hypnotic as she was when she played the young Venus in the movie 10. We extend special kudos to her husband, John, for the fabulous photography done on location at their ranch and to Bo for styling her hair and makeup. At the close of our 40th anniversary, our Rabbit is reflecting a perfect year. 3 PLAYBILL 13 DEAR PLAYBOY 19 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 22 WIRED 26 DRINK by RICHARD CARLETON HACKER 28 STYLE 30 MOVIES by BRUCE WILLIAMSON 33 VIDEO 34 MUSIC 38 BOOKS by DIGBY DIEHL 40 MEN by ASA BABER 42 WOMEN by CYNTHIA HEIMEL 44 FITNESS by JON KRAKAUER 47 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 49 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 59 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 61 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: GARRY SHANDLING—candid conversation 82 OBSESSION—article JOE MORGENSTERN 86 FOREVER BO—pictorial 96 PLAYBOY'S CHRISTMAS GIFT COLLECTION 102 THE GHOST STANDARD—fiction WILLIAM TENN 106 JOHN BOBBITT'S EX-FIANCEE—pictorial 112 LIFE WITHOUT PLAYBOY—humor BUCK HENRY 118 STOCKING STUFFERS—sexual diversions JAY WISEMAN 120 JIM CARREY'S WILD RIDE—article BERNARD WEINRAUB 124 AHOY, PLAYMATE—playboy's playmate of the month 136 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 138 PLAYMATES ON THE MOON—article D.C.
