The 2010 Playboy Playmate of the Year - In 3D

Playboy steps into the modern age on Friday with a technological invention most popular at B-movie theaters of the 1950s. Of course, I'm talking about 3-D glasses:

The magazine's June edition hits newsstands Friday equipped with 3-D glasses. Now the toy that has kids dodging dragons, meatballs and tall blue aliens at the movies will help adults focus on what is, at first glance, a very blurry Playmate of the Year.

"What would people most like to see in 3-D?" asked Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. "Probably a naked lady." [ABC / AP]

The naked lady is 2010's Playboy Playmate of the Year, Hope Dworaczyk:

When Dworaczyk received the offer to pose for Playboy, her main concern was her family. Dworaczyk went to her grandmother who told Hope that if she were Hope's age and had the opportunity, she would go for it. Dworaczyk was quoted saying, "If Grandma or Nanna approves it, who cares what anybody else says?" She also has stated that, she "didn't think modeling in high fashion sheer, see-through blouses on the runway was all that different from wearing nothing at all.  [Wikipedia]
