Playboy November 1999

COVER STORY They call her the Knockout—and she has worked hard to earn that nickname. Mia St. John looks more like a supermodel than an undefeated 126-pound featherweight boxing champ. "Female athletes don't have to look like men," says Mia. Rest assured, we won't make that mistake. Our cover was produced by Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, shot by Arny Freytag and styled by Lane W., with hair and makeup by Alexis Vogel. Our Rabbit is a master red belt. 7 PLAYBILL 15 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 16 PLAYBOY EXPO 21 DEAR PLAYBOY 25 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 28 MUSIC 32 MOVIES LEONARD MALTIN 36 VIDEO 37 LIVING ONLINE MARK FRAUENFELDER 38 BOOKS 40 MEN ASA BABER 41 MANTRACK 43 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 45 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 55 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: JESSE VENTURA—candid conversation 68 PLAYBOY'S HISTORY OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION PART X (1990-1999): REAL SEX—article JAMES R.
