Meet Kristy Garett, Playboy's Last Ever Nude Centerfold

Trending News: This Is The Last Woman You'll Ever See Naked In Playboy

Why Is This Important?

Because calling this the end of an era is a massive understatement.

Long Story Short

After Playboy announced that they would no longer feature full nudity in their print magazine and flagship website, they've unvelied the final Playmate to appear nude in its pages: Kristy Garett, Miss February 2016.

Long Story

When we learned that Playboy was ending its practice of featuring nude women in its pages, the world reacted with equal parts disappointment and bewilderment. Afterall, what even is Playboy without heavily airbrushed nude pictures of the most beautiful women on Earth? People mostly calmed down when they remembered that the internet is 99% porn, and now that the dust has finally settled Playboy has revealed the last woman to grace its pages in the buff: Playmate Kristy Garett, Miss February 2016.

“I’m so happy,” Garett told the New York Daily News. “It’s such a big deal. It’s so iconic — being the last nude Playmate makes me cry and feel happy inside.”

Kristy, 26, grew up in Georgia (the country, not the state), and speaks six languages. She hasn't yet met Hugh Hefner, the man who launched Playboy way back in 1953, but she says a meeting is in the works. After all, she'll be the 749th — and final — playmate.

What no one seems to want to acknowledge is that Playboy isn't getting out of the nudie business altogether — they're just sanitizing their magazine and homepage to hopefully improve circulation. The magazine itself will still feature gorgeous women in provocative pictorials, you just won't see any nips or hoo-ha's. If you're still looking for that in the trademark Playboy style, you can subscribe to Playboy Plus (nsfw) and access every nude image of every centerfold, cybergirl, amateur and actress to ever bare all for Playboy. It's unclear whether they'll continue to post nude shoots of the now-clothed Playmates over at the subscription site, but it'd be pretty cool if they did.

Here's to the end of an era, the era of hastily digging through older brothers' closets and cherishing worn-out copies of Playboy well beyond their expiration date. The internet may have brought us better, faster and more vivid smut to enjoy, but it'll never be the same.
