Playboy Playmate
A Playboy Playmate is a female model, whose pictures appear in the men's magazine Playboy.
Playboy, a magazine founded in 1953, was especially successful because of the full-page pictures of at first scantily clad, later nude women.
Marilyn Monroe, who appeared in the center pages of the first issue, was not yet presented as a Playmate but as "Sweetheart of the Month". The first "Playmate of the Month" was in the second issue (January 1954): It was Margie Harrison.
Janet Pilgrim was the first Playmate on a double page in June 1955. Since the issue of March 1956, there is a three page fly-out in the middle of the magazine, the so-called Centerfold.
Liv Lindeland was the first Playmate whose pubic hair was visible. She appeared in the January issue of the year 1971.
