It seems like just yesterday we discovered Playboy.com's cover archive, and we haven't been able to concentrate on work since.

However, it allowed us to post a virtual bevvy of busty Playmate beauties and ask you to vote on your favorites.

You valiantly sifted through twins and TV thespians, supermodels and sports stars, Bond Girls and Baywatchers, all to determine the very best Playboy covers. And with over 50,000 votes, we feel we can confidently say that the people (or at least the oglers) have spoken.

Your favorite Playmate of the Year was Jenny McCarthy with 12% of the vote, closely followed by Anna Nicole Smith. Another famous blonde scooped "Most Iconic" cover by 25% -- Marilyn Monroe from the very first issue. Curvy Kim Kardashian is your pic for "Reality TV" cover and Denise Richards is your favorite "Bond Girl."

A hefty 25% of you think Katarina Witt is the hottest athlete to grace the cover, and 16% of you favor Rachel Hunter's cover for "Most Stunning Supermodel." Tahnee Welch (Raquel's daughter) won for covers showcasing "Celebrity Offspring," but celebuspawn Drew Barrymore swept "Bad Girls" with 23% of the vote.

Even if you didn't get a chance to vote, you can still enjoy the comely covers. (Let's face it, that's the best part anyway.)
