By Alison Nastasi on Oct 22, 2012 7:30pm

What happens to the women of Playboy’s clubs after they retire their bunny ears and cottontails? Artist Robyn Twomey found out at a Playboy Bunny reunion in Las Vegas, where she photographed several of the women. The portraits are tightly framed and haven’t been digitally retouched. Their posture, clothing, and the look in their eyes reveals a number of emotions and attitudes. “They are complex characters that are proud and empowered by their beauty and sexuality, at the same time stricken by the fleeting nature of it,” Twomey further explains on her website — which we found thanks to Thaeger. See Twomey’s compelling study of age and beauty in our gallery. … Read More

The Best of Vintage Playboy: Dali’s Pin-Up and the Miniature Playmate

By Marina Galperina on Jul 19, 2011 2:00pm

What happens when Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes, artist Ryan McGinness, fashion designer Jeremy Scott, and other cultural recruits are invited to rustle through every Playboy magazine ever published, since 1953? To celebrate the launch of iPlayboy for iPad, NYC gallery Partners & Spade is hosting an exhibition of pieces from the Playboy Archives, curated by a throng of notable appreciators, through the end of the month. Aside from period-specific aesthetic of its centerfolds, they’ve dug up a cut-up “hang-up” by Keith Haring from 1986. Some of the most creative and outlandish vintage loot hails from the ’60s — “The Playmate as Fine Art” feature of eleven Playboy pin-up interpretations by Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, and others, a fantastically ridiculous spread about the pocket Playmate “Femlin” and something called “The Lass Menagerie” with gals sparsely dressed as animals. See it in our NSFW gallery. … Read More
