We knew it wouldn't take long for the interweb to deliver unto us the Playboy pictures of Staff Sgt. Michelle Manhart, the Air Force officer who was suspended last week for posing for the girly mag while still on active duty. There's probably a worthwhile debate somewhere about the propriety of a member of the U.S. military taking part in such conduct while serving her country (especially during the Current Unpleasantness)—but we're more interested in knowing how did the woman on the left become the woman on the right once she stepped in front of Playboy's cameras. (Yes, it's the same person in both pictures.) Nothing against the "before" version of Michelle, mind you, but damn that's a serious paint job on the final centerfold-ready edition. Maybe our military has finally perfected that secret "babe-ray" weapon they've been working on at Area 51?
