Sex News: Play on, Playboy...
I read that Joe Francis, the founder of that obscure “Girls Gone Wild” franchise, is interested in purchasing Playboy enterprises. And that, my friends, includes everything with the bunny-head logo on it: from the magazine to the TV channel, and all the merchandise in between. I have two thoughts on this.
First of all, who knew that this guy had that kind of dough? I knew that the “Wild” thing was successful, but damn...
Secondly, I don’t think Hugh Hefner would sell his baby for all the money in the world. He’s built his lifestyle, his reputation, his empire, and everything he is today on the shoulder’s of his brainchild. The house that the bunny built (the Playboy Mansion) is a cultural icon. I don’t think there’s any way on this planet that anyone is taking that all away from him. Francis would have to pry Playboy out of Hugh’s cold, dead hands. And even then, the “Wild” man would have to go through his descendants, mainly his daughter Christie Hefner, to claim it...
Now supposedly, when Hefner founded his magazine, the ideal behind the Playmate of the Month was to be the girl next door with her clothes off. Puh-lease! With all the air-brushing that goes on in Playboy pictorials, and the women in the mag who make posing their careers, I’d hate (or love, in this case) to see what a professional, non-girl-next-door type model looks like...
It was revealed, by the subject herself, that Sharon Stone was approached by Hef’s people for a shoot in the magazine. She turned them down for now saying that she might consider the offer in the future.
I don’t mean to be rude, but when you’re Jessica Alba, who is 26, you can afford to get back to Playboy at a later date. When you’re 48, as Ms Stone is, you might want to do the nude thing now. You’re not getting any younger, and you never know if or when you’ll experience the limelight of a highly-touted, mainstream movie (like Basic Instinct 2) again. And to tell you the truth, I personally am into older women, but seriously, how many of Playboy’s young male readership are into women pushing 50?
