Cover Story
Playmate of the Year Debra Jo Fondren is combing her golden tresses with 17 ounces of pure silver fashioned into a comb by Alaskan sculptor Josef Princiotta. According to Princiotta--known for, among other achievements, a 30-foot sculpture of a whale and, would you believe?, a set of Howard Hughes commemorative medallions--there are 90 faces in the comb. As photographer Robert Scott Hooper says, "Only the best for Debra."
