Playboy Unveils Cover of Its First Non-Nude Issue

Feb 4, 2016  •  Post A Comment

A 20-year-old model graces the cover of the first non-nude issue of Playboy, which the magazine unveiled on social media. The publication is rebooting for a digital age in which images of naked women are commonplace online, with Playboy seeking to expand its audience by standing out in other areas.

The publication hasn’t completely dropped its focus on the female body. Playboy ushers in its new era with a scantily clad Sarah McDaniel on the cover, and inside the magazine, readers will find Dree Anderson, the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, as its first non-nude centerfold.

The magazine is clearly taking aim at younger readers, with the cover of the social media-themed issue paying tribute to the youth-skewing Snapchat. Cover model McDaniel is a social media figure herself, known for her large following on Instagram.

Here’s the cover shot circulated by Playboy:

  1. I like the version of the cover that Seth Meyers showed on Thursday:

    In big block letters: GOING OUT OF BUSINESS
