The October issue of Playboy will hit the shelves with a vintage look and pricetag. Just like Boardwalk Empire brought the old 1920s subway back to the rails, NBC's new series The Playboy Club will air in conjunction with a 1961-themed issue of the magazine, selling for just 60 cents. (Technically, this is just 40 cents less than each issue costs if you have a subscription, according to their $1 an issue offer. But their newstand price is $5.99.)
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the magazine is out this Friday (the show premieres on the 19th), and Playboy Club star Laura Benanti is the cover girl (so much classier than September's look). And for the ladies: Paul Rudd is the interview for the month!
The magazine also features "photos of the 1960s-era Playboy Club Bunnies and photos from several of the clubs." Here's a look back at their old clubs, including the NYC one, and recently a former Bunny there wrote a tell-all.
