Donna Edmondson’s claim to fame is for being the virgin playmate. It was admitted in the magazine that she was a virgin in the text of her original pictorial layout. This and the fact that she was from the south and the Bible Belt led to her being named Playmate of the Year. Many believe she was named PMOY because she was from North Carolina where good ole’ Edwin Meese called home. Attorney General Meese headed a commission looking into pornography and Playboy was one of his targets.
The Meese Commission was created in 1985 to study the impact of pornography on American culture. In 1986 he aided a campaign that led to Playboy being banned in 7-Eleven and other major drug stores. 
He sent out letters to these chains on Department of Justice stationary informing them to remove all adult material from their stores or they’d be sanctioned for selling pornography. Donna Edmondson being named Playmate of the Year was seen as Playboy’s way of giving a big slap in the face to Edwin Meese and the early New Christian Right.

But that ain’t why I like the chick. It’s the rolls, son. It’s the rolls. Donna represents the last of the round figured playmate. Naturally big breasted. Wide-hipped. Big bottomed. Long-legged. That’s what the ideal playmate of the past looked like. Sure, the 80s playmate had on too much make-up. And perm jobs out of control. But I considered them the best that Playboy has ever had to offer.
Some of you love the 70s. But the playmate of the 70s was too naturally. Some looked like they had just come from a porno shoot. No make-up. Some looking like they were someone’s mom. And more pubic hair than in Jim Kelly’s Afro. Nope. For me, nothing matches a playmate from the 1980s. And Donna is the epitome.
It’s funny. But by today’s Playmate standards, Donna could be considered overweight. I haven’t seen a backside shot of her without a backroll or two. And that’s just how I like it. And those breasts. They hang like chains. But they’re as beautiful as ever. And I’ve never doubted the naturalness of them. It’s only when you have a rail-skinny chick with double-Ds that you start to wonder. But Donna’s breast fit her body type.
It’s funny how her virginity got such big play in the media. It probably would be the same today. I mean I’d be shocked if a woman today posed in Playboy and turned out to be a virgin. I think the current prerequisite to being a playmate is to first be fondled and turned out by Hef in the mansion. Then and only then do you even have a shot. And I think a lot of chicks are outside the gates lined up for the task.
