Playmate Kelly Carrington

I am only doing a Top 5 of each year, there is a lot of ties on the 5 spot because I thought many of them are equally worthy of a top 5 spot. I also have in parenthesis my top 20 of the decade. This is a very important decade to me, because it is the one I really started collecting and following Playboy. A lot of you have Sandra Hubby fairly low in 2004, but she is one of my top 5 of the decade and I consider her a Marissa Miller lookalike when she first pose. I think Alison Waite, Nicole Voss, and Lauren Michelle Hill are a close 1,2, and 3 respectively.

I also ranked the years and the qualities of Playmates. I ranked 2001 my top year because there is 4 top 20s but 2006 is a close second with both 1 and 2 in that same year. I like 2004, 2007, and 2009 equally. I think 2009 is a fairly good year, giving us at least 4 memorable Playmates. I thought 2008 was also a decent year with the likes of Regina Deutinger, Kelly Carrington, and AJ Alexander all very memorable. 2002 and 2003 were the dark years, they did have decent girls like Lauren Anderson and Marketa Janska, but they don’t rank as high on my list. I give Marketa a tie for 20, just so 2003 would have someone ranked.

Also, Sara Jean Underwood was once very high on my list, but recently has dropped a lot for some reason. Still a very sweet girl in my book, but I think her fall is because I really like Alison, Nicole, and Jordan to be PMOY and I thought she robbed them of the title. Maybe it’s just the mood I’m in when I wrote this, but SJU probably broke all my Top 5 about two years ago.

The only PMOYs that made my top 20 is Jayde Nicole at 13 and Kara Monaco at 14. Go figure.
