    Default Playboy. Explain yourselves!

    I go to college. Every day, I walk on campus, and I see hundreds of HOT WOMEN walking all over the place. Like...uniquely beautiful women. And I open Playboy, and I see...the same shit over and over.

    The women on this site, for example. Hell, strippers in general! Hot as hell. And Playboy puts girls like Valerie Mason (Miss September) in their centerfold. She looks so...PLAIN. I don't know if it's just how they style their playmates, but these women are not exciting to look at (in my very, very humble opinion--I'm not saying that I could be in PB or anything).

    Am I crazy? I subscribe to the magazine, and I've just been so unimpressed with them lately. The last hot girl I saw in Playboy was some random Russian chick in their May issue.

    What do you guys think about Playboy centerfolds? Am I blind?

    Many years ago before computers and internet porn, we were easily amused. These days, not so much

    To each their own I guess. Playboy likes to feature "accessible" girls from time to time. I dunno..... maybe look at it from the -variety is the spice of life- perspective rather than trying to figure out who is better or hotter.

    Nope, I feel the same way. It's like they're all Playboy-bots from the same factory. The last PMOY had me scratching me head...not impressed at all.

    Yeah, they still like brunettes.

    Type- Huge boobs. Small waist. Perfect butt.

    I'm talking about their faces though. I mean, don't get me wrong--they're all beautiful girls. But it's just weird to see so many drop-dead-fucking-gorgeous girls everywhere...and you don't see any of these women in Playboy. You don't see those women where you open the page and go "gawd DAMN she's beautiful." I dunno.

    I saw your thread, Joplin--that's part of what inspired me to post my thoughts on this. I think you could totally be in Playboy...but they've been making some really odd choices lately.

    Yes, but only on the VERY rare occasion.

    Honestly their special edition mags are better imo because they have more variety. The main one is mostly just blonde barbie after blonde barbie more often than not. Snore. So boring!

    I always thought Playboy was after girl-next-door pretty. Not drop-dead-gorgeous hot.

    ^^^ Yep.... that seems to be the case more often than not.

    But seriously... after Marilyn Monroe.... it's all going to be down hill.

    You're not imagining it. That's why Maxim and FHM have done so well! Women like Halle Berry or Jessica Alba or Lucy Liu wouldn't make the cut for Playboy without star credentials. They lack the aryanblonde vaccuosness he seeks. He sets aside 6 months of the year for blondes and the rest for the rest. No offense meant but even Dave Lettermen has taken Hefner to task for having bland and rather dumb chicks when he doesn't have to. Playboy won't change until he dies, even as they lose market share.

    Maybe she is....I really didn't like her centerfold though. They made her look sooooo generic. Pretty, but generic.

    I lost all respect for Hugh Hefner and Playboy long ago. He started off promoting sexual freedom (except not nearly as much for women, of course) and ripping up on the conformist, conservative bullshit culture of the USA in the 50's and early 60's--a truly warped era. In the 70's he was putting out a cutting edge magazine, and at the height of his power--but the draconian sexual double standards he laid down on his girlfriends and his guest lists were revealing his blatant hypocrisy, if people could open their eyes to it. Very few did, of course.

    Then, as America embraced the plastic life and consumer ideals again in the 80's, and yuppies became the new role models, he basically renounced all pretense of being a controversial, cutting edge force to be reckoned with, and began to embrace the cheese...

    Now he is of course a parody--a shriveled up mummy still trying to play the Game he started 50 years ago, propped up by his wealth, his fame, and the ass-sucking media hype.

    I have had several friends who were or are trying to get picked. I don't blame them, the career boost would be impossible to resist. But the odds are against those with distinct beauty or character, I fear. Playboy's loss, I say.

    I think that they could do Playboy like a cut and paste type thing now and get the same spreads.

    Just put at the front of the magazine 3 or four different heads, leave the bodies with blank spots where the head should be and let men put their own choice of face into the blank spot, cause all the bodies look the same now, just different outfits and poses.

    You'd still get the same thing you have now, but it could be an interactive magazine.

    oh and don't forget the soduku...

    I've noticed that. Same girl, every time. 5'1" or 5'2" around 100-110 lbs, long blondish brown hair with highlights, cut into layers. Brown eyes. Tanning-bed tan. Generic fake breasts. Maybe a little dime-sized butterfly tattoo on the ankle sometimes.
    And of course she HAS to be a student studying something all humanitarian or highly intellectual, loves pizza and dogs.

    It's cool, I mean I love playboy. The girls HAVE become boring but I still love the world of Playboy as a whole. I always watch the Girls Next Door.

    I try to look at it from both angles. I would never in a million years be considered for Playboy. I don't have the look they want. It doesn't mean I am not hot, I just don't fit into that category.
    At the same time, the girls who are in Playboy would never be considered for any of the magazines me and my husband read. The hot rod/rockabilly mags and other little publications like Varla and Bizarre showcase girls who are tattooed, pierced, Suicide-Girl-esque types. Pretty much the exact opposite of Playboy.

    Hahahah I was reading their 'likes' once... they all even like the same. fucking. things. I bet they don't actually.. I bet this is the conversation:

    Girl: I like science and robots and sci-fi!
    Editor: Okay... for science, we'll put 'sex'... and for robots, we'll put 'men with nice smiles' and for sci-fi, we'll put 'dogs'. Now what do you do?
    Girl: I'm a cop who does volunteer work for cancer patients!
    Editor: Okay, for 'cop', we'll put 'secretary' and for 'cancer patients' we'll put 'children in orphanages'.
    Girl: But I'm not a secretary!
    Editor: Okay, we'll just cross out the word 'not' and there ya go!

    Well brunettes may be breaking through the glass ceiling with Hef. Rumor is Kendra is moving out when her contract expires (getting her own reality show) and the new girlfriend will be brunette.

    maybe cuz Holly started working for some kind of selection team for playboy? I saw that on one episode. And she oversees the photoshoots or some crap like that. She's likely insanely jealous of any girl as hot or hotter than her!
