The models are back!
Playboy invited seven models who previously graced the magazine’s cover to recreate their iconic photos from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Lisa Matthews, 47, who starred on the June 1991 cover, says that people would come up to her to say they saw her on a magazine, but were too embarrassed to say which one.
