The Sexy Girl Next Door - In Your Collection

Playboy has made its mark in the world of magazines for men by selling the public images of the girl next door, just gone a little bit bad.

Many collectors supplement their magazine collections with issues of the wildly popular "Playboy's Sexy Girls Next Door" which is an amateur series that features girls modeling without the use of lots of props, make up and airbrushing.

Because of the "realness" of the series, it had been a hotly collected item. Each issue features 15 to 21 beautiful girls that work at your local bank, pour your coffee at Starbucks, and help you pick out lumber at Home Depot and more. All the women featured in the series are girls you will encounter in your everyday life.

This series has been a "flat" since its inception and there are no stapled issues. If you would like to supplement your collection of Playboy magazines, this is a great series to collect, as there are not a huge number of issues to track down. Anyone just getting into collecting the genre of men's magazines will find it is easy to start with a small series such as the Sexy Girls Next Door or even calendars as they are not published on a monthly basis and easy to obtain and collect.

As with all Playboy magazines, they all gain a little value year after year if they are kept in mint condition. If you're not already collecting this fun series, consider adding it to your collection.

Dorothy Stratten - A Favorite Playmate to Collect

Dorothy Stratten was born under the name of Dorothy Hoogstraten in 1960. When she was 16 years old she forged her mother's signature on a model's release form and sent her photographs into Playboy.

When Stratten was 19 years old, Playboy invited her to be a Playmate where she was featured in the August 1979 issue of Playboy Magazine. The fast and tragic turn that Dorothy's life took shortly thereafter made this issue of Playboy a hotly collected issue.

Shortly before she became Miss August, Stratten had married her long time and much older boyfriend Paul Snider. He soon became jealous of her success and caused many scenes including several at the Playboy Mansion and prompting Hugh Hefner himself to label Snider as a pimp and a hustler. Dorothy found living with her jealous, controlling husband unbearable and by August 1980, she had left him and started a relationship with the director, Peter Bogdanovich.

In mid-August 1980, Stratten agreed to meet her estranged husband at the home they once shared to discuss terms of an amicable divorce. After several hours of no one hearing from them, a friend checked on them and found them both dead in the bedroom. Snider had shot Stratten point blank in the face with a shotgun and then turned the same gun on himself.

Dorothy Stratten was named Playmate of the Year 1980 and this too is another hotly collected issue. Knowing the stories behind the issues will make them even more valuable, if you ever wondered why the August 1979 Playboy is so difficult to find, now you know.
