Perhaps to divert attention from this monumental salvo in the Pubic Wars with rival pornographic magazine Penthouse, Lindeland's pictorial, photographed by Alexas Urba, focused on her long hair and tantalizing neathage.Although Lindeland's full frontal nudity generated a tremendous amount of attention, the first appearance of pubic hair in Playboy actually occurred in August 1969 in a dimly-lit pictorial featuring dancer/actress/model Paula Kelly photographed by legendary big-boob fetishist, Russ Meyer.
