Playboy September 1998

COVER STORY Oh, baby! Scotching-red-hot actress Lisa Rinna—of Melrose Place—proves that maternity can be magnificent. In fact, motherhood never looked so good. This month's cover was shot by alberto Tolot; styling was done by Xavier Cabrera, with hair by Serena Radaelli and makeup by Beth Katz, all for Cloutier. Our Rabbit has nothing up his sleeve; it's safe to say he's already in the fold. 5 PLAYBILL 11 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 17 MUSIC 24 MOVIES by LEONARD MALTIN 29 VIDEO 30 WIRED 32 BOOKS 33 MEN by ASA BABER 35 MANTRACK 39 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 41 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 51 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN—candid conversation 66 BURNING MAN—fiction EDWARD FALCO 70 OUR CHAT GIRL—pictorial 76 SWING'S THE THING—article BOB SLOAN and STEVEN GUARNACCIA 82 THE SWEET LIFE OF AHMAD RASHAD—playboy profile CRAIG VETTER 84 THE SINGLE GUY'S GUIDE TO TECHNOLOGY ANDY I H NATKO 90 THE NEW SHELBY—cars KEN GROSS 92 THE PERFECT WORKOUT IN 90 MINUTES A WEEK—fitness PETER SIKOWITZ 94 TO THE MOON, VANESSA—playboy's playmate of the month 106 PARTY JOKES—humor 108 PLAYBOY'S PRO FOOTBALL FORECAST—sports RICK GOSSELIN 111 LITTLE ANNIE FANNY—cartoon RAY LAGO and BILL SCHORR 114 HDTV: THE BOTTOM LINE—electronics JONATHAN TAKIFF 116 NINA HARTLEY IS THE SMARTEST WOMAN IN PORN—article CHIP ROWE 120 PLAYBOY'S FALL AND WINTER FASHION FORECAST HOLLIS WAYNE 127 GOT A HUNCH?
