Playboy is probably looking for a big discount on the modeling fees it will have to pay out!



Do they care which of the four indiginous languages of Wal Mart that they speak?
Anyone with a memory should be very humble.





Any woman that poses for Playboy will get fired so fast it'll make your head spin - come on, they banned Maxim! I bet the modeling fee will be plenty compensation considering the crap wages they pay there.
"Women of Wal-Mart" - sounds like the punchline to a joke to me.





From the article:
Yeah a real family oriented company. Yet they seem to exhibit no problem with selling cigarettes, booze, and still openly display tabloid newspapers with racy headlines in their Supercenters, and up until a few years ago were taking out life insurance policies on their pitifully paid employees. Can anyone say hypocrisy?Bentonville, Ark.- based Wal-Mart also banned three men's magazines, including FHM, Maxim, and Stuff, earlier this year because it said it had received complaints from customers about their content.
I guess that wholesome family image can still be put aside when there's enough profit incentive to do so.

When I worked for Wal-Mart I didn't know anyone I wanted to see naked.
The dumb kid is back!

This would not surprise me at all.
I remember way back when, probally close to 20 years now, when 7-11 stopped selling Playboy. Playboy did a women of 7-11 feature.
I don't know if its true or not, just saying that i would not be surprised if Playboy wanted to do something like that.



LOL, this would be a good way for Playboy to scare off alot of magazine subscription sales if this does actually happen!
Personally, I'd like to see the sexy women of Target instead. ???




I never thought the employees of Wal-Mart to be Playboy material. I'll take a more critical view when I go there next time.


What about the sexy women of StripperWeb.com?

I am tempted to take a job at Wal-Mart, just to see if I can make to the pages of Playboy!

Playboy actually is among the lowest paying gigs you can get as a model in the adult biz. Playboy is great if you are a nobody from nowhere who gets into the mag and gets catapulted into the limelight and onto further mainstream work. However, for the working model in adult biz, the playmate contract can be the kiss of death so far as income goes as it is an exclusive contract and the salary is pitiful, plus, Playboy's fine print on ownership and trademarks is nothing short of shameful. Of all the models I've worked with whom have been affiliated with playboy, either in the main mag or the news stands, I know more girls that have turned down the playmate contract than accepted it. Playboy definitely uses their profile to attract models, certainly not the dollars...
I have always wondered how much a Playboy shoot is.
Do you have a ballpark figure?

newstands paid $450 last time I checked. Playmate contract is around $20K annually, which sounds like a lot, except of course it more or less prohibits you from working nude with anyone else and oh yeah, they own your website, blah blah blah. If you arent a model, that $20K is good dough, no doubt, but if you are a working model its almost insulting.
Well, I guess that is how Hugh Hefner gets them to stay at the Playboy Mansion and live out every man's dream.

Just to clarify, the $20K is the modeling fee for a Playmate, which also includes a 1 year exclusive contract (which can be good or bad depending on your point of view). Girls who appear in playboy "articles" as models i.e. girls of the Bada Bing, girls of the Pac 10, girls of WalMart, are paid MUCH less than $20,000 but also are not put under exclusive contract. I'd take a wild guess that the modeling fee offered to WalMart girls to pose for Playboy will be $1000 or less.
On the other hand, "famous" models who pose for Playboy "features' and covers i.e. Pam Anderson and over the years Raquel Welch and many others, and "sensational/news item" models such as defrocked preacher Jim Baker's paramour, Bill Clinton's oval office assistant etc. are probably paid astronomical sums. I'm sure that J-Lo has a standing offer for a cool million to pose for playboy. Who knows, after her recent split with Ben Affleck, she might just do it just to piss him off!

I believe that the only contract playboy offers is for playmate, the rest of the girls are treated as independant contractors and paid as freelancers. If the NSS are still paying $450 per day on approved models, the girls of walmart would likely get that same rate or less.
