Remembering the slender and groovy Miss July from 1968, Melodye Prentiss, who passed away on this day in 2009. As ”A onetime Playboy resaercher, Melodye was promoted to our Copy Department, where she now helps check the facts contained in our articles.

She’s studying for a fine-arts degree, attends the Art Institute of Chicago, where her latest turn-on is Salvador Dali. Melodye has also become intrigued by erotic art.” Of her own future, Miss July says, “My primary goals are to excel as a painter and to grow intellectually, to learn how to communicate more effectively with people. I don’t think it’s always necessary to talk to have an exchange of thoughts and ideas.”
