COVER STORY

Rule Bra-tannia. Pin-up model Jordan is the only thing that gets the British as worked up as football. She’s been voted the sexiest person alive and followed by the BBC for her own reality TV specials. It took the king of the Playboy Mansion to bring her to these shores. Cheers, Hef. Photographer Arny Freytag shot Jordan. Our Rabbit is well connected.
