Cover
Vanity photographed by Stephen Wayda
The last time singer, movie star (catch her in Action Jackson) and America's favorite nasty girl Vanity appeared in Playboy was in our May 1985 issue (Vanity Rare). As you'll see in this issue's revealing pictorial of the ultra bad Miss V (on page 68), she hasn't aged a bit. Her cover photo is the work of Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda. The Rabbit, by the way, is not only caught in a chain of love, he's feeling like a Prince.
