How would you save Playboy? - Page 46

Well, bearing in mind that the company's main earner these days is licensing the bunny logo... actually publishing the magazine for a rapidly declining and aging readership seems a bit redundant. Now that Hef is gone, there's not even sentiment to justify keeping it open.

So now Playboy is a "legacy print publication" and the new masters want to emphasize "brand partnerships".

All done. Stick a fork in it.

Playboy has done away with the "Cybergirl" and "Amateur" titles

These women are now called "Muses" and "New Comers"

While I do like the term "new comer" instead of "amateur". I think doing away with the term "Cybergirl" was a bad idea.

Cybergirl was an accurate designation for a woman who's pictorials are designated for the website and fit perfectly below Playmate.

Muse doesn't have that same ring and really sounds quite dumb

Hugh's biggest mistake was let his daughter run Playboy.

A mistake the entire Playboy empire was never able to recover from.

I'm curious (not being argumentative) but why do you say that?

Playmates have returned to Playboy Plus, this is good news although this is for the redesigned Playboy Plus website not the old Plus website.

Also it should be noted that they are uploading the Playmates who have posed since the return of the nudity, the non-nude Playmates are not there.

given the age of this company; there are three or more generations in a way that grew up with it-I am amazed at the quality of babes in the 60s and I was of age in the 70s lost track in the late 80s to today when I raised my fam. SO, how about a mix of old and new, with a return to old pics and possibly bringing some forward. Example to the skeptics: can you imagine some Playmates now GILFS and MILFs stepping back into the light. Though deceased, did anyone see any pics of Janet Lupo in her early 60s? She was mature, curvy, and gorgeous. I'd buy that mag or subscribe to a website-first new issue, Karen Price with that great body!

There was a time when Playboy will not pick girls who had fake breasts and tattoos for both their centerfolds and their pictorials.

They need to go back to that too.

you can't save it...remember you read it here first....Gender Nutrality this is being shoved down the throats of society. Men acting and dressing like women and vice versa for women? Over the last 15 years women are shaving their pubic hair totally smooth shaven, it was cool for a while but I remember a stripper once said to me "I have a landing strip because I DON'T want to look like a little kid" how prophetic. Playboy just had a transgender centerfold recently .. and I know you guys don't want to hear it but we've been getting fooled for years as to who real women were and are. Hefner knew about this a long time ago too.
