PMOY Missed Picks
 

Anyone else think Hef and the rest ever made a mistake and picked the wrong gal for PMOY? I think Julie Peterson (FEB 87) and Morgan Fox (DEC 90) should have been PMOY's in their respective years. Anyone else? Others?

Shannon Tweed has a career in the movies, but she was way down on the list for that year. Karen Price, Debbie Boostrom, and Patricia Farinelli would all have been better choices.

Agreed. Heidi Sorenson probably was a better pick as well IMHO. 1982 Cathy St. George and Kim McArthur could have been picked as well, but Marianne Gravette was very beautiful.

Gianna Amore in 1989 is the one for me and Tawnni Cable would be one if she was in any other year than 1989.

To be honest, the only PMOY choice I have ever agreed with since 1978 was Claire Sinclair in 2011. Maybe I'm not their target audience.

Going back a bit.......I always wondered why Ellen Stratton was selected as the first "official" PMOY for 1960 over others including my lifelong favorite, the bounteous Elaine Reynolds.

I recall reading that Terri Weigel complained that she was the popular choice for PMOY 86, but Hefner wanted to taunt all the religious right/evangelical Christians that hated him. So he gave PMOY 86 to Donna Edmondson, who said she was a good Christian girl. So said Terri.

Roberta Vasquez in 1984. And every year since then until the Earth crashes into the sun. And probably afterwards.

Brandi Brandt in '87
Pammy in '90
Suzi Simpson in '92

'89 was a deep draft year... so many choices...

1980: Definitely Lisa Welch.

1983: Barbara Edwards was a good pick but the timeless beauty of the year was Tracy Vaccaro.

1987: Sharry Konopski or Marina Baker over India Allen.

1988 wasn't really a contest with the Mrs. in the mix, but I have my own bias toward my all time favorite playmate, Laura Richmond. Shannon Long and Kata Kärkkäinen would also have been excellent choices.
