Perfect 10 is an online adult website – and formerly a monthly and then quarterly men's magazine – that features high resolution topless or nude photographs of 'all natural' women who have not had cosmetic surgery. Perfect 10 also promoted and filmed boxing matches between a number of their models, aired most recently as ''Perfect 10: Model Boxing'' on the Showtime and HD.net cable channels. The last print edition of the magazine was published in the summer of 2007 (issue 43). Since then it has switched to a subscription-based website only presentation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://perfect10estore.com/collections/magazines/products/issue-43-summer-2007-vol-8-no-1-last-issue/ )〕 Perfect 10 has often been the first to feature up and coming fashion models and glamour models nude, a number of whom went on to become ''Playboy'' Playmates or ''Penthouse'' Pets, most notably Jodi Paterson (2000 Playboy Playmate of the Year) and Erica Lookadoo (aka Juliet Cariaga, 2000 Penthouse Pet of the Year). Lexie Karlsen posed in ''Perfect 10'', then became both a Playboy Playmate and Penthouse Pet. Miss Universe contestants Evelina Papantoniou (Miss Greece 2001) and Leilani Dowding (Miss Great Britain 1998) also posed for the magazine. Other notable Perfect 10 models included Erica Campbell, Katie Richmond, Veronika Zemanová, Marisa Miller, Tereza Benesova, and Ashley Degenford. Many ''Page 3'' girls have also appeared in the magazine's pages, including Michelle Marsh and Sophie Howard. ==History== Perfect 10 was founded by former computer science professor, championship poker player, and hedge fund manager〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.belt.es/articulos/articulo.asp?id=1870 )〕 Norm Zadeh (now Zada) in 1997 when a friend was rejected from ''Playboy'' because her proportions didn't fit the magazine's ideal. Before starting Perfect 10, he obtained a doctorate in operations research at the University of California, Berkeley and worked at IBM. To get noticed in an already saturated adult magazine market, Zada gave prominent display to his "$435,000 Perfect 10 Model Search" in which the model from the first year deemed most beautiful by a panel of celebrity judges would receive a $200,000 prize. $100,000 went to second place, and $50,000 to the third place models. The remaining $85,000 was split between the remaining seventeen finalists. Ashley Degenford eventually won, and went on to land a role on the FX channel's ''The X Show''. Monica Hansen came in second place and went on to do advertising work for The Gap Japan and to appear on the pages of ''Max'', ''Maxim'', and ''FHM''. Marisa Miller, the third runner-up, went on to become a Victoria's Secret and ''Sports Illustrated'' swimsuit super model. In 2007, ''Perfect 10'' ceased publication of its print edition and switched to an exclusively subscription-based website. Issue 43, Summer 2007 is the last hardcopy magazine it published. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perfect 10」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
