4. Kim Basinger
Linguists have still not agreed on how to pronounce her last name. Is it Ba-seen-gur? Bah-sing-her? Who knows. Even though Bay-sing-ir might be one of the oldest women on the list, it’s important to remember that getting on the front of Playboy isn’t about staying popular forever, it’s all about confidence, style, and nakedness…..uh, timing!
For those too young to understand, Kim Basinger may be little more than someone who is less MILF and more GILF (shudder). But back in 1983, Kim could sell fire in Hell with her looks.
Straight off her appearance in a Bond film, Basinger bared all for the magazine. Remember, this was in the days before people could look at naked women on their cell phone in the bathroom at work…or at dinner. In those dark, dark ages, someone had to go to a convenience store, avoid the judgy stares of the sales clerk, and openly tell that stranger how perverted they were. People apparently decided to take that risk because this was one of the best selling issues for the magazine.

3. Mariah Carey
At least once in his life, every guy has been caught singing a Mariah Carey song out loud. It could have been his neighbor pounding on the wall when he was sobbing over his ex’s picture while singing “We Belong Together.” It might have been in the shower, when he thought he was alone, singing “Dreamlover” into the shampoo bottle. For the really unlucky, it might have been singing “Always Be My Baby” with his mom’s dress on. Well, singing Mariah Carey songs are probably the least of his issues if that’s happening.
The point is that Mariah Carey has such a presence with her voice, Playboy probably had no option other than to make her the cover girl in the March 2007 issue. Because she probably was concerned about her career, her privacy, or has what people call “dignity,” she actually didn’t even appear nude. Mariah Carey is so private, a white unicorn is more likely to show up drunk at a nightclub dressed as a cop than she is to pose nude.
