Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris Pictures: Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris arrive on the red carpet at the 2010 Playboy Playmate of the Year party held at Rain Nightclub inside the Palms Hotel and Casino on May 15, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
More than 50 years after introducing the illustrious Playmate Centerfold, Playboy is making history again with the introduction of its first-ever 3-D Centerfold in the magazine's June issue. Playboy's 2010 Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk is featured in the seductive 3-D nude image, which comes to life before readers' own eyes. The first-of-its-kind Centerfold is sponsored by HBO to promote the launch of "True Blood" Season 3, which premieres on the network June 13. The Centerfold is also accompanied by a 3-D "True Blood" ad, complimentary 3-D glasses, and a series-themed Data Sheet with vampire-inspired stats and facts - adding a creative, new twist to the classic magazine feature.
"I wanted to create a 3-D pictorial for the very first issue of Playboy, but didn't have enough money to include the 3-D glasses," said Playboy founder Hugh M. Hefner. "I'm happy to see the idea come to fruition with the help of one of my favorite TV shows, "True Blood," and I think Playboy fans will enjoy seeing our Playmate of the Year's true form."
The three-page 3-D image was shot using state-of-the-art, stereoscopic, high-resolution digital photography. When viewed with the "True Blood"-sponsored 3-D glasses included in this collector's edition of the magazine, the image appears to jump off the page and come to life.
