Playgirl is back and better than ever. The mag returned to newsstands this month and like the original that debuted in 1973, it quickly sold out. Playgirl is still doing nude male pics, of course, but are also updating to capture the enlightened feminist appeal of the mags early years, which included writers like Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem and Joyce Carol Oates.
For the debut issue, a nude and very pregnant Chloë Sevigny graces the cover. The new Playgirl debuted with fewer than 10,000 copies in major US cities and London before selling out and going back to press—by contrast the original Playgirl at its peak in the mid-to-late 70s had been selling 1.5 million copies. Playgirl says their mission is “looking at female power in a different way. It’s the idea of entertainment for women with a broad lens, looking at sex, gender, politics, culture, art, literature, relationships–looking at all the things that make life fun.”
