Good example, Scotch.  Here's a similar one...  

[Scotchman]

Yeah! I remember that one. That's an old Playboy photo,
maybe from her first issue. I've been trying to find that
Dec '89 issue for a long time. But she also appeared in
several issues in the early 90's.

I can clearly remember the most "famous" Petra images.
Everyone's probably seem them. They've been on the net...
well...before there was a net.

Petra's standing in shallow water at a lake or pond. There
are reeds and foliage behind her and light reflecting off
the still water. It's not the ocean. The camera is to her
side but she's turned away slightly so you see her back.
The photo is pretty close and only frames her head down
to her waist. She's quite thin at this age. Her tiny arms
and narrow back makes her boobs look e-friggin-normous!
BLAM! They stick out for days.

<Sigh> I'd love to see those photos again.

Those are wonderful and unusual photos of Petra.
I've been a member of Petra's site in the past...i consider her to be one of the 4 or 5 Playboy all-time greats...not the stereotype platinum blonde, a real woman with astonishingly exotic looks.  

If you look at the shape of her boobs in photos, the question of implants shouldn't arise...she's always been enormous on a slender yet curvy frame.  And, as has been said before, to see her moving in one of her videos is sheer poetry in motion...gentlemen, she's just one of those rare women who was created with all the qualities that so many aspire to...she's the real deal!

BTW...where did you get those photos in the black bra...they don't have the usual petracentral logo on them.

You can find that issue in almost any adult bookstore with a large stock of back issues.  For instance, I know of a store in Chattanooga, TN, that has 5-10 copies.

What's the name of the store in Chattanooga?

So, does anyone else find it odd that she hasn't married yet?
 

[Hothitter]

Real as real can be - it was a common topic of conversation at Playboy, where virtually all of the playmates today are enhanced in one way or another.  Not her.  I think Miriam's another exception.  What is it about the brunettes?  Makes you wonder about Hef's blonde preoccupation.

As to marriage - she's had boyfriends - but yes it's a bit odd.  When I attended Playboy 's Wet and Wild parties in Las Vegas, Petra in a bikini was a major buzz for males and females alike.  Even the other playmates would hover around her.  In person she's smaller in stature than expected, but amazing nonetheless.  One of the alltime greats.

Scotch,
Is this the pic you're referring to?  

[Scotchman]

Nice. Very nice. But no, I've never seen that image before.
Thanks anyway!

The photo I'm thinking of has Petra facing slightly away
from the camera, but mostly from the side. You see only
one breast in profile. Her arm is at her side, and because
her arm is so slender, it makes her look really huge.

 

[Scotchman]

I did some surfing and found my favorite Petra photo.
It's not the best quality scan I've seen, but at least
you can see what I meant. There were other images from
this set which I liked better. Her arms were down as I
recall.



While searcing for this photo, I may have learned why
Petra has never married. I seems that in 2001 she was
engaged to a pretty-boy con artist who physically
abused her and is suing for half her assets. Granted,
Petra's got some nice assets.

Former Playmate Victoria Valentino (Miss September 1963)
is a friend of Petra's and started a web site to help
fund her legal battle...

I researched this to make sure it's not a ripoff. It
appears legit based on the news stories. Petra's web
site makes no mention of this. Maybe you have to join
her site and read the diary section. Or maybe she's
not saying anything for legal reasons.

I searched on "Petra Verkaik" and got a bajillion
porn sites. Duh. But searching on her ex-fiance's
name (and variations) "Scott James Strohmeyer" gave
these results...

Plus this informal testimony on the matter from a
professional photographer that knows Petra...

http://munitions.com/~jgreely/oldnew.html

I used to be a member of Petra's site back when
she first started. Yes, I used to be an "Alpha Male".
I had to quit because that phrase was too damn cheezy.
Besides, I downloaded her entire web site and I'm
too cheap to pay for being a fan.

However, I am VERY tempted to join again just to
get the skinny on this lawsuit. It may be settled
by now or at least getting close.

I was a member just after the boyfriend did a bunk.  Petra spoke about in her diary section and it was quite nasty.  My recollection is that she nearly lost everything and was devasted, but continued to run her site and had a lot of support.

I don't think it's strange at all for a woman these days to be single...what's the point of marriage unless she wants to settle down and have children.  She's obviously still enjoying being a model, remains ambitious about her career and promotes herself as 'the most printed model in Playboy history'.

There are several very good galleries of her at the Mac and Bumble site in case you didn't know.

Her dirty pillows are too perfect.  

[jachere11]

That indeed is a mind-boggling photo. Her mammary gland looks massive. The rest of her is so skinny though that I can only dream what she would look like with another 30-40 pounds of solid flesh.

And now for the saddest news of all. A couple of years ago she had reduction surgery. I've seen her at a con since then. Still an impressive natural but I would guess maybe a D-cup. A very charming woman. I'm amazed also that she is still single.

What?!!!! Noooooooooooooooo!!! Is there no justice?!  Are you sure she just didn't get skinner?  I sure hope so...  What's next?  Miriam gets a BR too?  Awwwww man!!
