Playboy October 1998

COVER STORY "Every time I do an autograph signing," Cindy tells us, "Those old PLAYBOYS show up." The July 1988 issue, the pioneering supermodel adds, seems to be "a collector's item." Look out, collectors, Cindy Crawford is back. Our sexy cover was photographed by Herb Ritts, with styling by L'wren Scott for Vernon Jolly Inc., hair by Peter Savic for Paul Mitchell and makeup by Joanne Gair for Cloutier using Dinair. Our Rabbit, an arbiter of cool, says "Nothing's sarong here." 5 PLAYBILL 11 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 17 MOVIES by LEONARD MALTIN 22 VIDEO 24 MUSIC 28 WIRED 29 SEX by AMANDA GREEN 31 MEN by ASA BABER 33 MANTRACK 39 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 41 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 51 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: GERALDO RIVERA—candid conversation 64 PLAYBOY'S HISTORY OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION PART VIII (1 9 70-1 9 79): JOY OF SEX—article JAMES R.
