Anthony Michael: Classic Playgirl, 1994


-Anthony Michael-
also known as Tony Lattanzi, Anthony Fannelli 
Playgirl 1994


When I first saw the Easter themed shots, (above) of model Anthony Michael, he looked somewhat familiar.   At first, I thought he might have been a Chippendale model, but my searches came up short.  I then decided to research the photographer Tony Lasala, who I discovered had indeed shot for Playgirl.  Searching for the Playgirl model however, proved difficult, as there were many models with versions of his name, including a cover model named Michael Anthony.


Finally I found him in several pictorials from 1994 editions of the magazine.  The face and body looked familiar, and the models shoulder tattoo sealed the deal. Anthony made his naked debut in March 1994 in a male/female Dream Lovers layout entitled 'Fare Play.'  Anthony followed this up in the April issue with his own layout as the magazine's Discovery of the month.  Both were shot by photographer Mish'ka.  The images here are from the April issue and his pictorial titled, 'A Stable Environment.'


'I guess you have to take each day one at a time, but always take it to the fullest.'


'Anthony's always on the go, but we don't want you to get the impression that this chestnut-haired, brown-eyed stud doesn't entertain thoughts of finding the perfect woman.  Anthony's looking for someone with good, simple values and someone who isn't too fussy about herself.'
