    Default Maxim Article: Strippers Inc.

    A little two page article in the August 2005 issue (US edition). It basically explains the various jobs around a strip club (strangely they included bookkeeper, but somehow missed waitress) and gives a brief description of what one makes in pay.

    There's nothing on their website yet seeing as its the current issue. This page is about as close as I can get you. They'll probably have something up on there later.

    http://www.maximonline.com/maxim_print/

    If you have a copy of the print edition lying around, you might want to check it out, or stop by your local bookstore. It's on pages 90-91.

    I wonder if I'll look funny buying a Maxim.

    I got odd looks buying a Playboy a few months ago and said, "It's for my husband!" and the guy was, "That makes it even weirder!"

    Maxim is a pathetic rag filled with prepubscent humor and horrible writing. And the chicks aren't even naked.

    Just tell the guy you are picking out sizes. Men thinking about women looking at other women's tits is a magical thing. Maybe you'll get it for free!!



    Because there ain't no tits on the radio

    I once had a couple of articles published in Mayfair - a British girlie magazine. This was about 10 years ago, when it was a "gentleman's" magazine - articles on history, classic cars, etc., (a bit like Playboy now.)

    I incautiously told my mother, who had no idea of what sort of magazine Mayfair was. She was naturally proud of her son, so she went down to the local news agents and brought a copy. Picture a grey haired old lady, of nervous disposition and quite readily shocked, suddenly opening a magazine she has no idea contains photosets of naked women.

    Oops!!!!!

    PS: the articles were on naval history.

    Well since my nice little thread has devolved into a bashfest of reading choices, I think a little payback is in order.

    Bash it if you want to but lowbrow works, and I'll take a non-nude pictorial of an attractive up and comer over Playboy's airbrushed nudes of some has been or never will be anyday. Can you say Farrah Fawcett?

    Playboy is a magazine lost in a time warp, much like its founder (I'm sorry folks, but an 80 year old man dating a flock of girls whose ages combined, don't add up to his is just laughable). The sophicated style the magazine tries to portray comes off as pretentious, and the interviews two issues out of three are with some spoiled brat Hollywood celebrity whom I could care less about. The line from "People vs. Larry Flynt" is absolutely correct, "Who is this magazine for anyway? I mean, it's like if you don't make 20 thousand plus a year, you don't jerk off. Seven million people buying it and nobody's reading it."

    And despite trying to sound sophisticated, a yearly subscription to Playboy
    costs about the same as a yearly subscription to Maxim. I guess after tooting their horns about how much better they are than everyone else, they decided that they needed that Bubba trucker/sanitation worker demographic after all.

    As a subscriber to both publications, they could each do me a favor and ditch those absolutely useless fashion and gadgets sections, which display gear and clothing that they know 80% of their readerships could not afford, or would not be seen dead in. Use the space for another pictorial.

    No, no. Retarded is People Weekly. Retarded is all those women's magazines which weigh as much as a cinder block, and make their readers wade through 50 pages of scented advertisements before even reaching the table of contents.

    There, that sure felt good.

    You are soooo right about the women's magazines. Talk about preaching a non-sustainable lifestyle. Oh - look - here is so and so with her $1,000 purse visiting such and such nightclub where the cheapist champagne is $200 a bottle. See so and so gas up his mercedes.

    I use to read my ex-girlfriends US magazines while sitting on the toilet - and you know what - I became horribly depressed. Then I realized that magazine is making me feel like a fucking nobody - and I own a BMW!

    And you are right about those ads man - I can't believe people would pay for those magazines - you got about five pages of story and the rest is ad.

    No wonder so many women I know can't keep any money in their pockets.

    Playboy is about dated as 1970's James Bond. I am surprised they don't have a picture of a roulette wheel in there every now and then. The last issue I saw - which was a long long time ago - did have guys dressed in clothing that is totally unaffordable or simply for a night in monte carlo - and I don't know about you - but I havent been to monte carlo and don't plan on it.

    I agree with you how foolish an 80 year old (ok not that old but close) guy looks with a bunch of 20 year old women on his arm. There is a point where "living young" appears more like "is immature." What? He can't handle the sophistication of a thirty year old?

    What maxim does (other than dumb dating advice) is show the current affordable fashions available to the young male.

    "Women's magazines" really do suck. I don't know any female over the age of seventeen who actually reads any of them.

    Your comments about Playboy are interesting, doc. I always think of it as a prestigious market for a writer, but I haven't read it lately. Maybe you're right...I'll have to go buy a copy (much to the delight, I'm sure, of the lecherous Pakistanis at the local 7-11....)

    I do agree with CO that the prose in Maxim is none too elegant.

    More power to Hef. He's living the dream of a lot of men (and women). It's easy to criticize, especially for those that are jealous. But I think it's great!

    I see nothing wrong with maxim, i think the photos suck. I normally pass right over them. I think they do some funny stuff. My only problem with them is that they like EVERYTHING. Yes they need to get rid of the fashion section. I honestly only believe its there to keep the companies sending money.

    As for playboy, its retarded. One of our local morning DJ's did a bit on this. He brought in the night time DJ, who is always doing remotes at clubs, a very outgoing guy. Playboy had a list of new slang terms and what they mean, this DJ only got 1. I had never heard of hardly any of them. They're so outdated, and the articles suck. Now where is this months hustler?

    i like men's magazines in general, but they all have their flaws from my standpoint. i could care less about sports and cars, and even less about men's fashion and thousand dollar watches. i skip over these things, as well as the foolish celebrity interviews. but give me some lovely nekkid ladies anyday! in fact, why don't they stop pretending people are buying these things for the articles and elimate most of that uselss prose to make room for more photo spreads? and how about a few women who look like they've actually eaten a cheeseburger once in their life?
