What is the significance of the stars in or beside the "P" of the name!


Question:

What is the significance of the stars in or beside the "P" of the name "Playboy" on the cover of the magazine?

From September, 1958 through September, 1979, most of the covers of Playboy Magazine have between 1 and 8 stars either in the “P” of the name “Playboy,” or beside it, to the left. What is the significance or meaning of these stars, their number, and their placement (in or outside the “P”) each month?


Answers:

An urban legend started about Hefner and the Playmate of the Month because of markings on the front covers of the magazine. From 1955 to 1979 (except for a six month gap in 1976), the "P" in Playboy had a number of stars printed in or around the letter. The legend stated that this was either a rating that Hefner gave to the Playmate according to how attractive she was, the number of times that Hefner had slept with her, or how good she was in bed. The stars, which ranged in number between zero and twelve, actually indicated the domestic or international advertising region for that particular printing.
