Kim Kardashian in Playboy

Kim Kardashian's appearance in Playboy was much heralded by fans of the reality TV star, although it is questionable what else there was to see after her infamous sex video with the well endowed Ray-J. While the pictures were adequate they fell far short of her potential but I include Kim in this month's tribute because - DAMN - she is fine!

Christi Shake in Playboy

Christie Shake is cut from the same mold as Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy. She is the quintessential blonde bombshell and a favorite of mine from the new millennium. Christi appeared first as a Playmate of the month in 2002. She also wins the prize for most ridiculously obvious "stage name"... but I still love it! Christi is also celebrating a birthday this month - born August 22, 1980. This piece of ass is turning 30!

Anna Nicole Smith in Playboy

Anna Nicole Smith is one of Playboy's most infamous playmates... if not THE most infamous. From her meteoric rise as a Guess Jeans girl to her tragic accidental death from a drug overdose, Anna Nicole Smith has been a lightning rod of speculation and sexuality. I'll refrain from focusing on her "wheels off" days as the over-weight star of her own reality TV show. I'll not mention the gold-digging drama of her spring-winter marriage to a Texas millionaire. But I will focus on her drop dead gorgeous body in her early days with Playboy. Feast your eyes on some of the most iconic of Anna's images!

Amanda Hanshaw in Playboy

Amanda Hanshaw, also known as Mandy Marie Michaels appeared as a Cyber Girl in 2007 and later appeared in the magazine in January of 2008. Since she is still relatively new to the Playboy scene, I imagine we an expect more great things to come from this tasty morsel.

Heather Kozar in Playboy

Heather Kozar was a Playmate of the month in 1998 and the Playmate of the year in 1999. Heather's full figure and giant cans brought back instant memories of Marilyn Monroe and another famous playmate from the early 90's. Heather had the same gorgeous figure and she knew how to flaunt her assets.

Tishara Lee Cousino in Playboy

Tishara Lee Cousino is one of the latin beauties that I absolutely crave. Tall with huge ta-ta's and a set of lips that could suck the paint off the side of your house. Tishara is another of the new melinium babes and I think we can all agree she's a stone cold fox!

Brooke Burke in Playboy

In my ongoing tribute to Playmates, it is important to note a very special guest model. Brooke Burke appeared in Playboy in both 2001 and 2004 and her photos were a dream come true for men across the world. Now they reside here at The Bastion of Man for your viewing enjoyment.
