Welcome to the first installment of our Special Editions e-mail newsletter. We're not quite sure what we'll call it (we're open to suggestions) or how frequently we'll send it out (at least once a month, but maybe more) -- all we know is that we want to keep you in the loop with what's happening in the world of Playboy Special Editions. Most of you already know that each month we crank away to put together two specialty-themed issues filled with the sexiest girls on the planet. But there's so much more that goes on and so much more we'd like to share with you, so here goes:

Voluptuous Vixens
The dictionary defines voluptuous as "fullness and beauty of form," but we used less cerebral senses to select the 22 sexy, stacked babes for this issue. From Britain's bad girl, Jordan, on the cover to these bodacious beauties inside -- Gleicy Santos, LaTasha Marzolla, Kimberly Nicole Cameron and Playmates Lindsey Vuolo, Nichole Van Croft and Miriam Gonzalez -- we illustrate the definition of voluptuous in a way Webster never could!
May/June Lingerie

This month's sexy lingerie lineup features sultry cover girl Cynthia Arroyo, along with the lovely Joanne Wilder, Katie Cleary, Jessica Korhonen and Playmates Laura Cover, Kerissa Fare and Tina Jordan.

Who Will Reign Supreme as 2003 SE Model of the Year?
With tens of thousands of votes cast, we've just selected our Model of the Year, but you'll have to wait to find out who she is.

Who's the Sexiest of the Sexy 100?
Back in January, we culled through our collective memories, wildest fantasies and photographic archives to come up with our idea of the 100 sexiest ladies to have graced Special Editions in the past decade -- now it's your turn. Fan response for our premiere issue of Sexy 100 was incredibly positive, so we're plotting a follow-up edition for next year.

Special Editions Superstars in the News:
Knockout Blonde
It's true that Voluptuous Vixens '02 cover model LaTasha Marzolla is a knockout, but did you know she can really pack a punch? During a recent three-round Muay-Thai kickboxing bout in Las Vegas, LaTasha stunned her veteran opponent with two standing eight-counts and a knockdown to win the Women's Kickboxing Fight Night Championship. A full-fledged badass and black belt, LaTasha is training with renowned martial arts instructor Master Toddy for the next level of Muay-Thai competition, the K-1 USA single-elimination tournament on the May 2nd card at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The event is scheduled for pay-per-view access.
SE Model in Fox Reality Relationship
If you've tuned into Fox' latest entry in the reality TV wars, Married by America, listen up, because Playboy has the 411 on the buxom brunette bachelorette. Apparently Jill Nikki left a few things off her bio sheet in her bid to find a husband on national TV. First was her Playboy photo session, which surfaced in the fall 2001 issue of College Girls, and second was the hot water she landed in when Miss America pageant officials discovered her association with Playboy. So if you missed Jill's Playboy debut, don't miss your chance to take a close look at her never-before-published pictorial in Playboy's Cyber Club and in our upcoming Blondes, Brunettes & Redheads issue, on sale May 13th.
Catfighting Kitana
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you've probably seen the 60-second Miller Lite spot featuring two gorgeous women engaged in a down- and-dirty catfight over beer. What you may not know is that the scantily clad, buxom brunette who claims that Miller Lite is "less filling" is Kitana Baker, one of Playboy SE's top 20 models and fall 2001 College Girls cover girl. The media frenzy surrounding the statuesque 5'10" raven-haired beauty and her catfighting companion had the girls making the rounds at all the hot parties during the Superbowl and have just landed on the cover of April's Stuff magazine. Rumor has it that round #2 of their catfight commercial is due to air later this month during March Madness. But we're the only place in town where you can see ALL of Kitana. Log on to our Website, www.playboyse.com, to check out a bonus pictorial featuring nudes of Kitana. Stay tuned to PSE, because we're sure you'll be seeing much more of Kitana's beautiful face and amazing body in the future!
In the Spotlight ... Katie Cleary
There are three words that accurately describe Katie Cleary, our comely coed in the spotlight: tall, smart and sexy. You may recall that Katie made a splash in her teeny-weeny bikini in College Girls 2001 -- and since then has garnered a loyal SE following that landed her a spot on the cover of the Jan/Feb. 2003 issue. Between finishing her college coursework, various modeling and promotions gigs, and even a stint on an upcoming reality TV show (air date not
available), Katie has launched her own Website, www.katiec.com. Keep your eye on this rising star in 2004!
