Alicia Rickter
Acting Appreciation
I recall being excited receiving the October 1995 edition of Playboy because it featured "The Women of the Ivy League." This was a big deal because as a college kid I was interested in what our nation's flagship institutions were offering in terms of girls. But that issue offered a lot more than cute college girls. It featured Elizabeth Berkley topless, a insightful interview with a 24 year old Snoop Dogg, and the gorgeous Alicia Rickter.
Her centerfold titled "Earth Shaker" called her the "postmodern Playmate." "She paints. She reads philosophy. She ponders the meaning of life, the meaning of sex, even the sociopolitical of appearing in PLAYBOY," the article read.
Although she is celebrated as the 500th Playmate, it was later found that one early Playmate appeared twice under different names (Marilyn Waltz and Margaret Scott).
The American model and actress was born on September 21, 1972. After appearing in Playboy, Alicia appeared in TV and film. One such TV series was the sexy drama television series, Baywatch. In 2002, she had a role in the romantic comedy film, Buying the Cow.
In 2005, Alicia married baseball catcher Mike Piazza at St. Jude's Catholic Church in Miami.

Ksenia Milicevic
Art Appreciation
Born on September 15, 1942 in Drinici, Bosnia and Herzegovina, French painter Ksenia Milicevic is best known for creating the Art Resilience movement, which seeks to redefine the notion of art.
Milicevic comes from an interesting family history -- both her parents were partisans engaged in guerrilla campaign during World War II.
At an early age, she came to appreciate architecture and art. She graduated from both the University of Engineering in Belgrade, and the School of Architecture and Urbanism at the Institute of Urbanism in Algiers.
In her spare time, Milicevic took a class from Algerian painter M'hamed Issiakhem, who was known for a painting style that was a blend of abstract expressionism and traditional portraiture.
Milicevic moved to San Miguel de Tucumán in northern Argentina to work as an architect. While there, she joined the art school of the National University. Her first exhibition took place at the National University's Gallery in 1970.
Before settling in France, Milicevic spent some time in Spain and Mexico. She opened a workshop at Bateau-Lavoir in Montmarte, and has been exclusively dedicated to painting. She has since held exhibitions throughout the world.
