Carmen is taking it all off for the third time. She was previously in the May 1996 issue and then again in June 1997 issue of the men’s magazine. You know what they say…third time’s a charm!

“I started my career with Playboy. 1996 was the first time I shot here. I think there’s a freedom in taking off your clothes and posing,” says Carmen, pulling down her jeans and hitting the sand wearing nothing but paint!

In addition to appearing in the anniversary issue, Carmen will make an appearance as a celebrity Bunny Dealer at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Saturday, Dec. 13. But first, her cover story for the Playboy‘s 55th anniversary issue will be on newsstands on December 12.
