Anyone else love Playboy???

[mummyoffour]

I love playboy and apart from ordering it from Playboy.com USA website I have to get my bits from ebay and get some from catalogues but there are things that you cannot get from catalogues and wondereing where you get them..........any playboy fans like me shed some light????

If you read my post I said that WH Smith were selling stuff, but I DIDN'T buy anything. My dd tells me that her pals have this stuff but NO WAY is she getting anything. I am appalled at this marketing strategy aimed at young girls and am not furthering it in the slightest.

Mumoffour: What is it exactly about the Playboy brand that appeals to you? Do you think its glamourous?

(Genuinely curious as to why a woman would want to align themselves with a porn brand.)

C&P from play.com

Review of Playboy: The Mansion

The game puts the player into the virtual slippers of world-famous Playboy Founder Hugh Hefner, building Playboy Magazine and the Playboy Mansion into dynamic cultural icons. Gamers also will live the lifestyle, rubbing elbows with stunning women and popular celebrities, and share the mystique of the Mansion by hosting extravagant, exciting parties. Smart management of the Mansion's social scene is required to keep the business thriving, and scoring hot celebrity interviews and arranging sexy photo shoots are just some of the tasks that players will encounter in growing the empire. The innovative Photoshoot gameplay allows the player to take control of the camera, shoot models for magazine covers and pick and choose the best overall theme for each issue in order to maintain the excellence that the buying public demands.

Rendered in a beautiful 3D environment including actual Playboy estate areas such as the Game House and the world-famous Playboy Grotto, the game portrays an accurate, virtually livable version of the actual Playboy Mansion. Gamers can also create their own versions of the Mansion as they step into the role of the Playboy mogul, hosting lavish parties designed to be the envy of Hollywood. With Campaign and Empire modes, players can either follow an intriguing and involved storyline, or be set loose to explore and create on their own.

vy sorry sammac. M.p I just like it, everyone has a their own taste and i like it, not for the porn. Argos's new catalogue has a two page spread of it.

What does the brand say to you though? Does it make you feel sexy or do you aspire to the 'playboy lifestyle'?

(I feel like you're saying "I love Cadbury, but not for the chocolate, I just love the Cadbury's brand!" which I don't understand. Cadbury's IS chocolate just like Playboy IS the porn.)

I'd rather wear Cadbury's branding but I don't have to because the size of my arse is testimony to my brand loyalty...

I put a message up asking about merchandise for me does it matter how and why i like it, i like it cause I like it.

Lol mp!!me too,long live cadbury!
A lovely friend of mine loves tshirts etc with playboy brand and yet she is the MOST un porno type person you could meet.I just dont get it.But then i really don't get any of the "logo" designer hype either.

Just curious Mumoffour; like I say, it just seems like an odd thing for a woman to want to wear.

I have a teenage friend who wears it but is totally clueless despite my best leftie consciousness-raising efforts - but I'd really like to make her a tee-shirt with a pic of a decrepit old man on it and say "But hun you LOVE Hugh Heffner!"

She'd just DIE at the thought of sleeping with someone in their twenties never mind their seventies ...

Ah the debate over the porn merchandise has arisen! Don't ask me why my mate likes!!! Even she can't answer the question!!

I had my room done in playboy when I was about 13. It was just the fashion but it was only a bunny, not a naked woman in sight.

Playboy stuff is v naff and horrendously tacky, IMO. But, if you do love it then you can buy it...cheap here or here too

Additions Direct also stock it

Just Google 'playboy clothing' and it will come up with a list of uk stockists as long as your arm.

hi everyone not been on for a day or so but was so glad I did not have some awful posts to come back to as I have been a bit upset about some of them as I only put an innocent post on to say I like the merchandise..so thanks MP, spursmum, MumOnaMission, beetroot, NomDePlume you made my day

Mummyoffour I know that you are obviously not a teenage girl, so I dont have a problem with you liking the Playboy stuff - but fancy WHSmith marketing it at young girls!

This makes interesting reading here

yes Merlot I do agree totally with your post and thank you for the piece you sent, and thank you for you for yr nice post.

ooh you're more than welcome. you've made my day now as this is the first time i've been personally thanked

as an adult mummyoffour is very much allowed to like what she wants right?

I'm sure she wrote 'any playboy fans like me shed some light' but even so a few of you wrote saying it was 'horrendously tacky'.

and someone questioning why she likes it then when she answers almost rubishing her answers.

She did not ask all of you who wrote negative things to answer she only asked for fans. Luckily, she's probably a stronger person than to listen to you.

Just spotted this rising again!!! Just wanted to say your quite welcome to mummyoffour for the chat and other inane comments and thanx to her for thanking me. A first for me too.

Hello SPursmum, I noticed that your friend seemed to like playboy a lot!

A lot's an understatement!!! The girls a looney!!!

hey you guys you made my day honest.....and i would like to thank you again for your supportive posts on this thread....so thanks MumOnaMission, Nicegirl (loved your post by way thank you) and last but not least spursmum thanks all guys from my heart
