When people use the term "Playboy" as a criticism of a girl's look, which era of Playboy are we talking about? Because aside from an unfortunate era between the 90's and mid/late 2000's, most Playboy models are some serious dimes.

Yeah, whenever people say this they seem to mean the Jenny McCarthy, Anna Nicole Smith, Pamela Anderson-era. I'm guessing they don't mean Alyssa Arce (has a thread in the Models section), Chelsie Aryn, Bryiana Noelle, Britt Linn (probably could), Claire Sinclair, Stefanie Knight, Roos van Montfort (has one), or Val Keil, etc. Even those falling under the problematic label of "generic blondes" are among my favorites, like Lauren Elise or Victoria Winters.

There's a lot of hot people out there being photographed. It is my solemn duty to know of each and every one of them! Which isn't to suggest all of them would fit SI, but Alyssa? Britt? Roos? None of them would look out of place. Now if you wanna argue that SI is a thing mainstream models--that are conventionally attractive--earn through their work, and PB isn't exactly paying one's dues or whatever, ok. But that's got nothing to do with their appearance.

Anyway I'll be back to make gifs or whatever when the content actually drops.

Britt Linn is amazing.

She is the perfect model & a better model than half of the girls mentioned in this topic

Re: Claire. Me too, she's more pinup/burlesque than beach, though. Not that there's anything wrong with that, outside a thread for the SI swimsuit issue anyway.

Re: Britt, yep! And Playboy's Miss March 2014. Amazing, eh?

Alyssa Arce is as cute as, and definitely has a better body, in terms of what is SI's evident ideal, than (just look at this!, nsfw) many of the casting call models. I'm not calling for for SI to start casting PB women, but suggesting that its maybe a decade past being a good thing to call a model you don't think is gorgeous enough. It comes off to everyone that knows better as dated, at best.

I think this was the most interesting era- the girls were the most unreal/plastic/comic-book looking. The last 15 years have been very boring- they could be any random nude model on the net'. I never pay attention to pb.

That 'era' was however, the most "girl unfriendly". But that was not their point. eg. 'Jordan' type plastic girls actually do appeal to males, but in occasional doses as a forbidden fantasy. Those women had to get very firm-bodied and also get some seriously large implants just to model in PB during that time. They also weighed more.
