[.ca] Playboy: 1998 Playmate of the Year

Very hot Playmates, but scenes don't sizzle:
I consider Playmate of the Year Karen McDougal to be one of the hottest brunette Playmates ever, absolutely adorable, but this DVD doesn't really do her justice. This DVD is a bit short at 52 minutes, with 36 minutes of Karen, 14 minute Playmate Profile of Nikki Schieler, and 2 minutes of end credits. Karen gets 8 different video segments, along with brief interviews inbetween each segment. Despite Karen's gorgeous and sweet-natured girl-next-door looks, her segments are very brief and mostly tame. Probably the most interesting segment was a VH-1-like pop-up video with humorous comments popping up about Karen as she danced around topless in a ballerina tutu. If Karen were to win the Playmate of the Year award this year instead of 4 years ago, her DVD would no doubt be filled with much spicier and closeup shots. Despite only getting 4 segments, Nikki Schieler actually had better scenes here, with some nice closeup shots. Nikki actually bears a strong resemblance to a pre-silicone Pamela Anderson, and she is very hot, too. The video quality is not great, as this was among the first Playboy DVDs released. There are no animated menus or bonus features here. The only menu is chapter selection. This DVD is obviously only for diehard fans of Karen or Nikki. There are several other Playboy DVDs worth getting first before this one.
