Playboy hit the streets about the time I graduated from high school. Through the 50s and 60s the "girls" looked like real wimmin. If you have seen a recent copy, you'll have seen the girls look pretty tough, like they've been hitting the gym 24/7. More muscle than you can imagine in the "fairer sex."
And the truth is, you can find anything -- anything -- on the Internet. Nekked ladies aren't that unique anymore.
Ole Hef was a Spear Carrier for Esquire in his early days -- a mag that was sort of Playboy (before he invented Playboy) without the nudes.
So he's going back to what will work. Playboy always paid the most money for fiction and has published some very fine writers. It wasn't ever just T&A.
Don't look for Hef in the local travel trailer park just yet. Playboy has all sorts of licensing things, and Video production and sales, going.
And he throws a swell party at his Hombly Hills manse. I once danced with a drop-dead beautiful porno actress who later became a mainstream actress at Hef's place in El Lay. By the way, I never dance sober. I had fun. The pool at his place with the grotto and several openings to the pool with waterfalls is great fun, too.
The mag is designed for young whippersnappers to age maybe 35. Lots of info on what wine to buy and there used to be mucho articles about how to buy the best stereo. Nothing wrong with all this. There are worse people on this planet than Hef and it appears most are running for President this time around.
