Bunnies After Work

A couple of days ago, I was wandering through the Student Centre of the #10 ranked party school in North America, when I saw a sign posted on a bulletin board. It was black and white with a logo known around the world-- a sleek-looking bunny rabbit. Apparently a certain campus pub had invited the local girls from the recent pictorial to do a magazine signing. Well, I think we all know where Al was tonight, don't we?



I was already working late today, so it didn't take too much motivation for me to stop by for a beer or three. The funny thing was, the girls were 2 hours late in showing up, so I pretty much got there on time! Amazing that they all of a sudden got modest, eh? Anyway, the appearance was also tied to a donation for women's breast cancer charities, so I have yet another reason to justify my attendance. But truth be told, I wanted to see what these girls looked like, in person. I hadn't even seen the issue ahead of time (no, seriously!), so this was going to be a surprise all-around.

The two who showed up were Brynn Chudleigh and Phylis Syd (both pseudonyms, obviously), and yes OJ, Brynn was one of the ones sharing the strawberry. At any rate, as I waited for the girls to arrive, I started thinking about the whole Playboy thing. What would these girls look like? Would they be the type who'd catch my eye otherwise? Truthfully, I don't know. Sure, they're both attractive, but I can name a group of waitresses in London who make these girls look pretty average. In fact, I know quite a few women who could easily earn a spot in the world's premier men's magazine.

So why did these girls do it? Well, according to Brynn, the money was pretty sweet. She'd also said that she'd had enough of a good time that she's consider doing it again. Funny since this comment came from the only girl in the pictorial who didn't get naked. I didn't hear anything similar out of Phylis, but based on her other online work, it's pretty clear she has no problem with nudity. According to the write-up, Phylis wants to be an actress, so this is probably just a career move for her. I would like to say, though, that they both seemed very nice. Certainly no attitude or ego being thrown around.

I also came to the conclusion that people get worked up over nothing. Take the Saugeen Stripper, for example. If she was able to handle the initial uproar and attention, then it's probably blown over by now. I am curious, however, to know if she did decide to tough it out or if she transferred or dropped out. Wherever she is, I wish her good luck.

Now I'd like to take a moment to open up the floor to the females of the audience (Presuming any of you bothered to read down this far). If you were asked to pose for Playboy, would you? And please explain your reasoning for either a yay or nay. It'll be fun to see who's actually brave enough to respond. So c'mon ladies, leave some comments. I'm curious to see your reactions.

Yes Al... I did read your entire entry, so I'll be the first female to respond to your query. If asked today, I'd decline. Simply for the reason that I lack the confidence that I once had in my college years. But had I been asked 3 or 4 yrs ago, I'd prolly do it (not sure how comfortable I'd be with being completely nude though). The female body is a thing of beauty right... and like Brynn said, posing would be easy money - and what college student couldn't use that?

nope. don't think i'm a prude but...

it's hard to understand the fascination with bunnies. girls and guys alike. i even had a 'playmate of the year' shirt at some point.

even though the money and attention would be tempting, those pictures could kill you later on in life. say, for example, a female wanted to run for an elite position, the pics would ruin her. not that i have any plans, but gotta keep those doors open. who knows what you are going to do down the road, and you never know when the pics will surface again.

if i were to expose my body it would be for a much better cause than 'playboy.'

Me neither.

I get enough attention as it is being in a sorority (and the guy I'm seeing writes for a pretty popular free weekly) that I kinda enjoy my limited privacy, that I'd have to decline if asked today.

oh and i forgot to mention i don't think i would like being tagged as a slut

I would. In an instant. Why? First for myself. Because I love my body, and would want to see it posed in a professional setting. Second because I find it really arousing to think of those men looking at it. Going beyond the whole female object thing, every woman loves to be lusted after.

I don't think that posing would be grounds to label anyone as a slut, imho.
Swan!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who said yes now... and ya know - I think I agree with you 100% ;)

not that i personally would label someone in a porn mag a slut..but that's not to say that it doesn't happen

and sure i also enjoy being lusted after...but the thought of ugly, lonely men around the world jacking off to my pic is just sick

well, everyone to their own!

ok.. ya, I can totally see your point. I guess, like with most things, you'd hafta take the good with the bad.

the good with the bad exactly. it's not the men themselves that I think about, but the *idea* of them and their eyes :)

The wife suggested you need something else to do with your time, and recommends knitting. I guess that also keeps your hands busy.
