NUDES
We're all born into the world butt-naked -- not one of us wearing a stitch of clothing -- so why is it that nudity is still so taboo? Thank goodness the 21 stunning girls featured inside this issue have shunned the stigma attached with baring their bodies and have embraced their naked ambition. To prove it, they've shed their wardrobes and their inhibitions for your viewing pleasure.

Sexy 100 2007
Sexy 100 is our alphabetical countdown of the most beautiful women who've appeared somewhere within the world of Playboy! This year's lineup includes the '06 SE Model of the Year; several hotties from the Girls of MySpace, the Real Girls of O.C. and Hawaiian Tropic PLAYBOY pictorials; a savory selection of Casting Call cuties and, of course, Hef's tantalizing trio of girlfriends from the wildly popular E! TV show The Girls Next Door. But this list wouldn't be complete without including cover girl and Internet goddess Cindy Margolis. We're thrilled to kick off our annual countdown with exclusive photos of Cindy and the promise of 99 other beautiful Playboy babes!

SE INSIDER

Shannon Gilbert looks like she belongs in the O.C. with her golden mane of hair, amazing bronzed body and million-dollar smile. But if you look a little closer at this 27-year-old budding real estate mogul, you'll find there is definitely more than meets the eye.

Plaboy SE: What was it like growing up in Washington?
Shannon Gilbert: Seattle was nice, but it rained too much! At an early age I knew I would end up living in California because I spent every summer there and loved it.

PSE: When did you realize that you were sexy?
SG: When I returned from summer break for the beginning of my sophomore year in high school all the boys were looking at me differently. That summer I developed curves and boobs!

PSE: How did your Real Girls of the O.C. pictorial in PLAYBOY come about?
SG: My personal trainer Liz mentioned that I should try to be in Playboy. I thought she was crazy, but she insisted I do it, so she set up a test shoot and I went. I got a call back to do the Real Girls of the O.C. photo shoot and I was so excited! I hadn't done any modeling before and to do that feature immediately was crazy!

PSE: What was the reaction to your photos?
SG: I've received nothing but positive feedback. I was in all the newspapers, did a lot of interviews and was even flown to Las Vegas to sign autographs at the casinos. I also co-hosted the Playboy Comedy Tour with Joel McHale from Talk Soup. I had a blast!

PSE: Didn't we see you at the L.A. Playboy Casting Call?
SG: Yes, and I was actually more nervous at the casting call than I was with my first test shoot for the O.C. I was sitting in a room with a bunch of beautiful girls all trying to be in Playboy, so it was a little nerve wracking.

PSE: Next came the A/M Lingerie cover?
SG: Yes! No klutzy model moments on set, thank goodness! But it took me a little time to warm up and move for the camera. By the time we were done I felt sexier than ever and didn't want to stop posing!

PSE: What are you up to now?
SG: I work for a boutique real estate agency -- Antela Properties -- in case anyone is looking for a house! I love competition so real estate is great for me -- I like being the best and I won't stop until I know I did a great job and my client is happy. My long-term goal is to be a big presence in the real estate world. I want people to think of my name and face anytime they want to buy or sell real estate.

PSE: What do you do for fun?
SG: I believe in working hard and playing hard! I love weekend getaways, but typically I meet friends or family out for dinner and drinks or maybe just relax and watch a movie. I love to eat bowls of ice cream and rent movies!

PSE: If some day you have a daughter would you support her posing for Playboy?
SG: I'm very open-minded, so I would definitely support her. I would only want her to be happy and if she could have some of the great experiences that I have had by posing for Playboy then I would wish her the best of luck.
