Going back to nudes after changing to clothed models for the last year or so.

I gotta admit I have not looked at one in years, but I am glad they are returning to their roots..

Anyone else excited?

I subscribed for Playboy back in the day. I forget what the cost was I remember it being a deal I couldn't resist. I'm of the school, If it Ain't Broke, Why Fix It?

I think the only time I would read a magazine would be on a plane. Until Wifi is free for all air travel I dont think I will ever look at a magazine again

The only time I read the magazine was when I was 13, when a neighbor asked me if I wanted his collection (he was on the verge of throwing out his collection of Playboy, Penthouse, etc.). It was tantalizing stuff. I didn't realize at the time that I was the perfect reader, namely an unsophisticated kid believing that the articles and ads were something upscale.

And the nudies! Well, actually it was pretty tame compared to the stuff Hustler was printing. It didn't even have shock value. I later understood why the magazine was becoming increasingly irrelevant. The Internet porn was just the final blow.

I think they tried to move on because (much like the Laker Girls), Playboy as an entity doesn't retain the cultural significance it once had and thus, the pool of models from which to draw has to have diminished in terms of the type of girl next door beauty they used to tout. Dorothy Stratton isn't walking thru that door. Artistic photography was also of the stapled-spine era. Early 90s and earlier, the women looked real and natural and of their age. When you saw dirty pillows, you were looking at ACTUAL dirty pillows.

I only really remember the Jaime Pressly and Shannon Elizabeth ones from my youth.

I forgot about that, so I had to do some research She was only 34 in 1995. She looked good, nimble minx, auburn hair. This was one of the pix (non-nude). I don't suppose Vlade and AP got to watch the rest of the pictorial from the sidelines.

Vlade, lift her up a little higher than that...

Few years ago, I was on an elevator and when the door opened, I was suddenly standing in front of a woman who looked more like Jeanie than anyone else I had ever seen. For a split second I thought it could be her, it was puzzling, because the age was right, she had femme clothes, gold necklace/blatant bling, strong perfume, smelled good (I didn't have to sniff the air creepily like Dr. Lecter in her case). Took only a few secs to see she was well-heeled. I was stopped in my place for a sec goin' "Homina, homina, homina..." I think she noticed that because she giggled "Excuse me..." in a cute way. Very attractive in person. If that's what Jeanie is actually like, she gets easy default points that Jimmy has to fight tooth 'n nail to get from anybody.
