Rhapsody in Brown

miss may makes her move from popcorn peddler to playmate

Cindy Brown is in the middle of a spirited discussion about the environment and destructive human appetites when temptation turns her pretty head. Six Hell’s Angels roar up on Rose Avenue, rattling the open windows of the café where we sit, just off the beach in Venice, California. “Oh my God,” Cindy exclaims, her eyes suddenly gleaming. “I want a Harley real bad!” What? A gas-guzzling vestige of our unenlightened past? “Oh man!” she says, immediately launching into a new story. “I was sitting at Johnny Rockets on Melrose Avenue one night, and this woman drove up solo on a Harley. That’s supposed to be a man thing. Everybody gave her respect right away. I’m constantly looking for a way to do things that women aren’t supposed to do.”

In another day and age, this extraordinary girl next door might have been an outlaw or a revolutionary. Raised on a small farm in the desert town of Boron, California, two hours north of Los Angeles, she threw a broccoli stalk into the family works when, at 15, she became a vegetarian. The folks at home had to adjust. “We raised animals—horses, sheep, goats, pigs, cows, chickens. My dad is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, and he was raising most of these animals for our food. I grew up accepting that, but when I got older I realized that I like feeding the animals more than I like eating them.”

Cindy is certain that her Cherokee ancestry, mostly ignored by her parents, guides her environmental consciousness. “I would love to work for the Environmental Protection Agency someday,” she says. “I’d like to straighten it out because it’s as crooked as it gets. I could help companies clean up their acts.” (Note to Al Gore: she couldn’t hurt.)

Life is always a little bumpy for a maverick, but Cindy says her mom—with whom she lives now, along with her stepfather and two stepbrothers—is her inspiration. “I can’t believe how much I’ve become like her,” she muses, smiling. “I’m a very strong and independent person because of her. She’s always telling me, ‘Sooner or later you’re going to be on your own. You’re going to have to make your own choices then, so you might as well start doing it now.’” One of those choices was to pose for Playboy. Cindy and her mom are proud of the decision, and we applaud it too. After all, what use is a natural wonder if no one can see it?
—Clint Gila

“I used to wear baggy clothes all the time,” says Cindy, “but I don’t anymore. I’m proud of my body. It’s fun to be sexy. It spills over into the rest of my life. When the photographer was shooting and he said, ‘Oh, yeah. That’s good,’ I was thinking, All right! I’m good! That feels very sexy.” [May 1995, p. 97]

Nice post. My favorite "lost" playmate is a recent one, Miss Feb 2004 Aliya Wolf. As far as I know, there isn't even video footage available of her. I read somewhere that she didn't sign the contract, or something. She is one of the few recent surgically enhanced playmates that I really like. [Also, she reminds me of a girlfriend I dated in 1991]

Nice post. What is it all about? Are you on a psyche trip?

Wow, I had the pleasure of taking some modeling photos of her before she made Playboy. Stunningly gorgeous even back then.

V,
If you’ve met her, I would love to get to know you. But as I write, you haven’t enabled public access to your Blogger profile.

I can't agree more with you. Cindy Brown has been my favorite since my brother traded me a copy of the May 1995 Issue of Playboy for go knows what it was. But when I first saw her pictorial, I was in love at first site. I knew she would be a favorite for a long time. Did you know, she did some nude stuff before she was a playmate. She did a few softcore amatuer modeling videos. 4 of them are available online through MIRC. the Tizon.net servers rooms name is #Nudemodels. She's done about 3 or 4 non nude and atleast five nude videos. As far as the picures that were taken during the video, I dunno where to find those.

Cindy Brown was married at one time to my current boyfriend, Chris Richard. He is a minor league baseball player in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. They were married from 2002-2006. She was also married to a man who'd posed for a 1996 issue of Playgirl. I don't know if she is still married to him. I do know that when she was married to Chris, some of her fans were showing up at their home, calling her and even sending flowers.

Many thanks to the last two commenters for the information.

I'm the one who posted the comment about Cindy's marital status. I thought I needed to clarify a few things b/c it was really late when I found your blog. 1. I am a woman 2. I'm not a lesbian or bisexual and 3. I'm not in the habit of looking up pictures of naked people on the Internet. I need to explain that like most women, when I discovered that my boyfriends ex-wife was a former playmate, I had the compulsive need to see what she looked like just so I would know what I have to compete with. Lol. BTW, her fans showing up at their home is partially what led to the break up of her marriage to Chris. There is also some confusion about when she was married to the Playgirl model, whose name is Brent. Chris believed she married Brent after their divorce, but some people claim that she was married to Brent first. You don't have to post this b/c it's rather long. I just didn't know how to contact you and maintain my anonymity.

Anonymous,
I’m glad you shared as much as you did in the above comment. Thank you. This blog is inspired by my fascination with both the female body and the female mind. Your compulsion to see what she looked like is one of those female quirks that I look upon with affection and respect. Naturally, I hope women will regard male quirks in a similarly positive light.

It’s truly unfortunate that her fans invaded her privacy enough to weaken her marriage. Not to sound glib, but it fascinates me to observe women having to live with both positive and negative consequences of posing for Playboy.

Hello- I am Chris Richard and I was married to Cindy until 2006. Our marriage did not break up because of fan mail or flowers coming to the house. "Anonymous" who posted is not my girlfriend and I have no idea who she/he is. Just wanted to clear things up.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to check the facts myself, so I have to rely on whatever people tell me.

I know her, I dated her, I'm still in love with her, but I'll never tell you where she is. She wants privacy and that's the way it will stay.

 Brian Sorgatz left this comment at July 21, 2010 5:20 PM  
Naturally, she has the right to avoid the public eye—although it’s somewhat bittersweet that I can never hope to meet her and have her sign my copy of the May 1995 Playboy.

 Stephen left this comment at August 6, 2010 10:22 PM  
To be honest with you Brian, I would take the info above with a grain of salt. It's possible that none of this is true. Those posts sound kind of fishy to me. I would call it just a rumor.

 Brian Sorgatz left this comment at August 7, 2010 10:48 AM  
Your guess is surely as good as mine, Stephen.

Sorry i meant i am the true Cindy fan,

 Brian Sorgatz left this comment at August 8, 2010 8:52 AM  
Just to avoid potential confusion, I’ll point out that “CindyPrinceCharming” is a different Brian from me, the author of this blog.

 Stephen left this comment at August 14, 2010 8:28 PM  
No, I was talking to the owner of the Blog. Cindy is and will always be my #1 favorite Playboy Playmate. Her personality and her body are all natural. Definatley the Girl Next Door. Why she was never Playmate of the Year I will never understand.
