Playboy Playmate Tiffany Sloan (Miss October 1992) Dies At 35.

To read an update on this article, click here.

A rather insignificant obituary in the "Las Vegas Review-Journal) caught my eye today.  I was surprised that there had been no news stories or articles written about what had happened to Tiffany Sloan, Playboy Magazines Miss October of 1992.  I mainly remember Tiffany only because the previous year there had been another Playmate from Las Vegas, Corrina Harney, who was later chosen as the Playmate of the year. Corrina's grandfather worked at the same place as I.

Also, it made the local news when a second person was chosen as a Playmate from Vegas so close together.  That was Tiffany.  So, when I read this little snippet of an obituary in the RJ, I was surprised:

TIFFANY SLOAN Tiffany Marie Sloan, 35, a model, of Las Vegas, passed away Nov. 1, 2008. She was born May 29, 1973, in Orange County, Calif., and had resided in Las Vegas for 17 years. Tiffany was destined to shine. She was named Playboy Magazine's Playmate of the Month in October 1992, and continued on with her modeling and numerous television guest appearances. Her kindness and irresistible charm drew in the countless friends she had made. Tiffany will be missed by them all. Services are pending.

That is certainly no reflection on the RJ's reporting, because as I searched the Internet tonight, I could find no information on it.  I did find a copy of the information she provided in her centerfold at Playboy.Com.  Click here to read it.  Even a search of Google images failed to turn up much in the way of pictures.

One of the videos that she did for Playboy is available at Amazon.com.  If you are interested in it, click on the box:

So, maybe there will be more written about her but for now, it seems sad that someone with her career could have her death practically unnoticed.  I did see on one site that someone posted a comment that she passed away at home.  I just thought it was sad and decided to post this in case anyone who remembers her were unaware of her untimely death.  Rest In Peace Tiffany Sloan.

"Fanboys" Trailer: Warning! You May Fall On The Floor With Laughter!

"Fanboys" is being released on February 6, 2009.  The comedy, which takes place in 1998, right before the release of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" (Episode One), and Star Wars fanboys are eagerly waiting it's release.

TrailerAddict.com describes it like this:

But for Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows the term "fanboy" is more than just a title, it's a badge of honor. Spurred by impatience and an undying loyalty to their cause, these former high school friends reunite to undertake the road trip of their fan-tasies. Traveling West across the country to visit their Mecca - George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch - the plan is to break in, steal the film and stake their claim as the first fanboys in history to watch it. But to secure their place in the fanboy hall of fame, they'll have to contend with bizarre bikers, a crazy pimp, a deranged group of trekkies and the quiet intensity of William Shatner.

This trailer had me laughing out loud and I think it's just goofy enough to wind up as a minor hit.  Watch the trailer for yourself and decide.

The film stars Sam Huntington, Chris Marquette, and Dan Fogler as the Fanboys, and has a ton of cameos including Billy Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher, Seth Rogen, and William Shatner.

I usually don't bother with these kinds of movies, but this one looks funny enough to go and see.
