Fans, with girls outnumbering guys, lined up in long lines for a meet and greet with twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon at the Playboy Store in Caesars Palace’s Forum Shops. At times, the lines stretched more than 500 feet and often three and four people deep.

It is virtually impossible to tell Karissa and Kristina apart! And wearing matching pink bikinis certainly didn’t make it any easier for our contributing photographer Tom Myers.

The new Girls Next Door have arrived, and they were without Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner for the appearance! The 19-year-olds are featured on the cover of the first-ever double July-August issue of Playboy.

Before she left Playboy for Las Vegas, Holly Madison, who stars in Peepshow at Planet Hollywood, was the magazine’s photo editor who produced this current pictorial as one of her last assignments.

After the two-hour signing for more than 500 fans, the girls grabbed a brief break for shopping before returning to the Palms for the first of two nights of appearances at the Playboy Comedy there.
