1979 Playmate of the Year Monique St. Pierre gazes at glittering Los Angeles laid out before her. "As a matter of fact, I think this was shot on the roof of the old playboy office building on Sunset Boulevard," says Photo Director Gary Cole. From that vantage point, she is truly a queen of her kingdom. Her sheer, glittering dress outlines the landscape of her body as much as the streetlights blanket the hills and valleys of the city below.

To achieve this unique ambience, photographer Richard Fegley essentially did a double exposure — he set off a strobe in front and the allowed the background lights to burn in.
