Playboy's Cyber Girls
February, 2002
Technology can appear cold and sterile, but we have the antidote: Cyber Girls, our newest way to celebrate female beauty. Cyber Girls bring warmth to the coldest, most clinical monitor. Nearly 50 years ago, Hef created the blueprint of modern beauty when he unveiled the Playmate. Our Cyber Girls represent the same commitment to beauty, personality and authenticity, all cut to fit your screen. Cyber Girls exist in a dramatically new medium, but they still must meet the rigors of Playboy's unmatched photographic professionalism. Best of all, in this era of instant gratification, there are 52 Cyber Girls per year. A Cyber Girl is unveiled on cyber.playboy.com every week. Members of the Cyber Club choose the Cyber Girl of the Month. The democratically selected winner is then brought back to the studio to be shot for photos and video. Cyber Girls are drawn from worldwide searches that result in thousands of applications and test shoots per year. The first Cyber Girl, Stephanie Heinrich, was crowned in September 2000. She went on to become Miss October 2001. Leaf through these pages and you'll agree, the man who made the Bunny hop is now making the mouse bop. Consider this a boot-up call.
