Highlights in the January, 2005 include:

PLAYGIRL Man of the Year Calendar (p 41) -- Our most anticipated bonus
feature is finally here. You've seen these hunks on our pages over the
past year and now they're all together in a super-sexy calendar. It's
time to hear from you by casting your vote for the hottest of them all
and crowing one of them Man of the Year 2005. Plus you get to keep the
pullout calendar as a souvenir from the editors of PLAYGIRL.

The Elements of Desire (p 26) -- Astrologist Kiki forecasts some very
pleasurable times ahead. She pens an erotic profile of each sun sign
and offers some characteristic traits. Fire signs tend to be passionate,
spontaneous and aggressive, while water signs are more romantic,
imaginative and sultry. What sign is the ideal partner for you? She'll
tell you all about it.

The Sex Files (p 58) -- In this age of conservative family values, sex
continues to sell ... big time. PLAYGIRL managing editor Jill Sieracki
explores this contradiction and exposes the truth on how and why
advertisers routinely push the envelope.

Evan Farmer (p 20) -- This hunky handyman stars in the TV show, While
You Were Out? and it's clear to see why his star is rising. With a
background in home improvement and architecture, Evan Farmer knows how
to fix your pipes and make you laugh at the same time. He sat down with
PLAYGIRL to discuss show biz, dating and his search for Mrs. Farmer.

Need It, Want It, Got To Have It (p 6) -- In our monthly round-up of new
products on the market, we've got some hot videos and new books you
won't want to miss, a website for exploring your own personal style and
some cool new music you'll be playing throughout the year.
