Swimsuit Issue

For 2011, we hit the streets and reached out to those who keep Tulsa going. Our models hung out in hangars with high-tech helicopters, got their hands and toes grimy with vintage trucks. Lauren Waugh, a Playboy Cyber Girl and Natural Beauties cover-girl, also encouraged us all to rethink public transportation.

Summer's almost here.

Now go take a cold shower.
