A Playmate is a female model featured in the centerfold/gatefold of
Playboy magazine as Playmate of the Month (PMOM). The PMOM's pictorial
includes nude photographs and a centerfold poster, along with a
pictorial biography and the "Playmate Data Sheet", which lists her
birthdate, measurements, turn-ons, and turn-offs. At the end of the
year, one of the 12 Playmates of the Month is named Playmate of the
Year (PMOY). Every Playmate of the Month is awarded a prize of
US$25,000 and each Playmate of the Year receives an additional prize
of US$100,000 plus a car (specifically, a short-term lease of a car)
and other discretionary gifts. In addition, Anniversary Playmates are
usually chosen to celebrate a milestone year of the magazine.Playboy
encourages potential Playmates to send photos with "girl next door"
appeal for consideration; others may submit photos of Playmate
candidates, and may be eligible for a finder's fee if their model is
selected. In addition, "casting calls" are held regularly in major US
cities to offer opportunities for women to test for Playboy. Until
just prior to the death of Hugh Hefner, he personally selected each
Playmate of the Month and every Playmate of the Year, taking into
account an annual readers' poll.According to Playboy, there is no such
thing as a former Playmate because "Once a Playmate, always a
Playmate".
