Your bag is empty.
Carmen Electra doesn’t reflect on the passage of time via family photos or dates in the calendar. She marks her years in Playboy covers.
Since she first appeared in the magazine May, 1996, Electra became a Playboy mainstay, racking up countless covers and pictorials in our pages. She made her return to the magazine in our Summer 2026 issue, acting as Playboy Advisor and answering reader questions on love, sex, and life (and how to convince your wife to have a threesome, obviously).
Amid delivering sage advice, we asked Electra to flip through her old covers and pictorials. She reflected on the hot, the weird, and the unforgettable, walking us through her timeline in Playboy history.
Starting with the cover she calls “The Ballsack,” (our December 2000 Christmas issue) and ending with the big-deal 55th anniversary cover in January 2009, Electra said she wouldn’t change a thing about her run in Playboy. Neither would we, Carmen!
