Cindy Crawford in the July 1988 issue of Playboy

Hugh Hefner sold off a little part of the Playboy empire last night at an auction in New York. Why? Medical bills, I'm assuming. Dude is 84. From CBC News:

Tom Wesselmann's iconic pop art image of a smiling, lipsticked mouth fetched nearly $1.9 million US at an auction of artwork from the offices of Playboy magazine.

The Christie's auction — dubbed The Year of the Rabbit: The Playboy Collection — saw more than 100 artworks featured in the famed men's lifestyle periodical cross the block in New York on Wednesday.

Other lots included dozens of cartoons, contemporary works and approximately 80 photographs depicting stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Bo Derek, Elle MacPherson, Brigitte Bardot, Stephanie Seymour and Cindy Crawford. Almost all the lots have appeared in Playboy over the years.

I actually couldn't care less about this auction. I just wanted an excuse to post these classic pictures of Cindy Crawford, and attaching them to a story about a sex offender being arrested for murder seemed in poor taste. I like to keep it classy 'round the holidays. Hell, I even put on clean underwear this morning.
