Gillian Nation . Chiara Bianchino

Volume 185 puts the most familiar face we have next to the least covered, and lets the distance between them do the talking. Gillian Nation, your 2025 Playmate of the Year, went home for this one, and Jessee B followed her onto the family ranch she came up on, where she rides a palomino bareback, fills a basket with raspberries, and lets a herd of bison hold the horizon.
Half a world east, Chiara Bianchino meets Pietro Favaron at a glass villa in Bali, where the whole story is built on reflection, she wears a shell choker and little else, and the jungle waits behind the panes like it was told to stay put. One woman is showing you where she is from. The other is showing you everything. Both of them are completely at home.
