1983 - Alana Soares
1984 - Roberta Vasquez
1985 - Cher Butler
1986 - Donna Edmondson
1987 - Anna Clark
1988 - Eloise Broady? (terrible year)
1989 - Petra Verkaik

I'm down with almost this whole list, with maybe just a few exceptions. For sure, for me, Shannon Long is the Queen of 1988 - totally a top-drawer babe. I probably like Sherry Konopski better for '87, Justine Greiner for '84, and Kimberley MacArthur for '82, though Anna Clark, Roberta Vasquez, and Charlotte Kemp are worthy, beautiful and STACKED. 1980 is the year where there are a bunch of OK choices, but no one who really runs away with it. It goes without saying that this is absolutely the best decade for gorgeous Playmates with big real tits!

Good point. There are many great 'girlish' playmates, but at least in those days it was the super voluptuous ones that caused the most urgent and immediate need to relieve myself to back then. Janet Lupo vs PMOY Lillian Muller in 1975? No contest. I literally lost control the first time I viewed Janet's pics in a secondhand issue I'd picked up 10 years after her appearance. Her physique seemed not of this world.





Patricia Farinelli vs PMOY Shannon Tweed? Same.





Alana Soares vs PMOY Barbara Edwards? Barbara was super hot but Alana made me shoot uncontrollably.





Cher Butler vs. PMOY Kathy Shower? Totally different physiological responses from my teen libido. Cher caused me to make an immediate involuntary mess. Kathy was lovely, but not the same.





Also much preferred Marina Baker over India Allen in 87 and Petra Verkaik over Renee Tenison in 89.

Bonnie Marino[/B]: Don't get me wrong, Lisa Matthews is a very pretty lady and I really like her pictorial, but for me, she's another tanned/toned blonde beach beauty of the late 80s/early 90s (is this blasphemy in this forum?). In contrast, Bonnie is one of the most beautiful and unique models in PM history IMHO and her pictorial was really great.

Totally agree on Bonnie Marino. She is really the prototype of a 90s PM and very underrated IMO. This image in particular is amazing. The eyes, the hair, the legs. Spectacular.

IMO, the best possible outcome for 1988 would have been convincing January's not-quite-yet-quite-a-big-celebrity pictorial subject Kim Basinger to return as PMOY!
