First there was Paris Hilton, then Padma Lakshmi, and now Audrina Patridge from The Hills, Playboy and, oddly enough, PETA, is the latest to put burger in her face for Carl’s Jr.
Sure, you probably can’t eat more than a bite of burger every year or so and still look like that in a bikini, but who’s worried about the details?
Believe it or not, Playboy has put 53 of their classic issues online for FREE for you to browse through.
The site uses Bondi’s new web viewer, so the whole experience is rather fluid, and the available magazines span the range from classic to current, so you can see how Playboy has changed over the years.
Wired put together a rather interesting bit of ‘infoporn’ that compares the BMI (body-mass index) of Playboy playmate centerfolds to that of the typical American woman from December 1953 (Marilyn Monroe) to January 2009 (Dasha Astafieva).
The results are clear: While the typical American woman’s BMI has steadily climbed over the years, the typical playmate’s has slowly declined over that same period.
As Wired notes though, the facts and figures given by Playboy for each of their playmates probably have a fair dose of estimation, guessing and exaggeration built in, but even still, it’s telling of what they think the average American ‘wants’ vs. what the average American really is.
Playboy’s The Complete Centerfolds is a coffee table book that features 720 pages of the over 600 Playmates that have graced the centerfold of every issue of Playboy. Ever.
Since each centerfold is printed exactly as it appeared in the magazine, this full-sized volume is huge, and it comes in its own velvet lined, combination locked leather briefcase.
Apparently PETA is quickly becoming the next Playboy, as Eva Mendes is the latest celebrity to bare all in the fight against fur.
Whether or not she’s following in Alicia Silverstone’s footsteps, she’s definitely making a statement, and one that I definitely would like to see more attractive celebrities making.
Go naked.

When I first heard about Kyla Ebbert, the woman who was kicked off of a Southwest flight for wearing clothing that was “too revealing”, I wanted to run a story about the fact that during her interview on The Today Show, you can clearly see quite a bit of Kyla when she shows off her [...]
