My Picture Was In Playboy

January 19th, 2011

True story.

No, no, that’s not me on the left. Look over to the right . . . Yep! I’m the one opposite Kona.

Playboy, Japanese Edition, June 1997

This is the Japanese edition of Playboy from June 1997. I re-discovered it while searching through storage boxes.

Notice that I’m in the company of Sherlock Holmes, Clint Eastwood, Larry Flynt, and James Cameron. One of us is a fictional character. One of us is NOT rich and famous. You guess.

Because people only read Playboy for the articles, I should mention that my article was on cloning. I believe this was the era when Dolly the Sheep was famous.

So yeah–my picture was in Playboy.

    Hi Jonathan–I see the bold, but I’ll take your word for it about what it says. 🙂

    Hmm.. Never expected to be reading a book by someone who featured in Playboy 😉

    Pretty funny, huh? Over on facebook we were discussing what an excellent fiction market the American magazine used to be, back in the eighties, and likely earlier too.
