Playboy August 1998

COVER STORY Model and former MTV VJ "Downtown" Julie Brown epitomizes freshness and sexy fun. This month, she has a grip on our vertical knob. Our cover was produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, styled by Jennifer Tutor and shot by Stephen Wayda. Thanks to Emerald Château Salon's Paula Ashby for styling Julie's hair and to Alexis Vogel for her makeup. Set designer was John Cranham. Though our Rabbit isn't short on cash, he is strapped this month. 3 PLAYBILL 11 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 17 MOVIES by BRUCE WILLIAMSON 19 VIDEO 20 TRAVEL 22 MUSIC 24 WIRED 26 BOOKS 28 HEALTH & FITNESS 30 MEN by ASA BABER 31 WOMEN by CYNTHIA HEIMEL 33 MANTRACK 39 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 41 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 51 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: MATT DRUDGE—candid conversation 62 FRENCHIE—fiction PAT JORDAN 66 DOWNTOWN JULIE BROWN—pictorial 76 PERRY FARRELL—article DEAN KUIPERS 79 THE RETURN OF THE CADDIE—golf LARRY OLMSTED 80 DIAL SCHECK FOR MURDER—profile PAUL SCHWARTZMAN 82 WYCLEF ATTIRE—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 85 TO LIVE AND DIE BY PERCENTAGES—money CHRISTOPHER BYRON 86 A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY—playboy's playmate of the month 98 PARTY JOKES—humor 100 KELLY SLATER'S GUIDE TO BEACH LIVING—article 102 THE WORLD'S BEST MARGARITA—drink JOHN RAME 105 SEXY MEXICO—travel DAVID STANDISH 107 PLAYMATES REVISITED: THE COLLINSON TWINS 111 DAVE'S GARAGE—cars 112 LOAFIN'—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 114 THE SUMMER NIGHT'S BUZZ—happenings 116 20 QUESTIONS: BRUCE WILLIS 119 BLOW JOB NATION—essay EMILY PRAGER 120 THE WOMEN OF ICELAND—pictorial text by BRUCE JAY FRIEDMAN 149 WHERE & HOW TO BUY 159 PLAYMAT E NEWS 163 PLAYBOY ON THE SCENE
