1957=2010

.
I thought this was a picture of one of the women on Mad Men. But it turns out to be the Playboy Playmate of the month for September 1957.

I stumbled upon this site. It appears to have every playmate since number one. That would be the iconic Marilyn Monroe pictorial which started it all.

I spent 15 minutes going through the centerfold shots month by month. It's really interesting to watch the "fashion" change. I only made it from 1954 to 1962 but even in those eight years the change was obvious.

As it turns out you can choose the month and year you want to see by changing the four digits at the end of the url string: http://www.freeweb.hu/playmate/html/5312.html
That's December of 1953, the first issue.

I just went through and looked at the December centerfold for the "three" year of each decade. That's really interesting.

But, really, I just picked it up for the articles.
