I have a friend who’s currently a finalist for Playboy’s “Girls of Wal-Mart” pictorial, and, while it TRULY is Mindless and Senseless Stuff I Must Share, I thought that I’d check with the powers-that-be. I mean, it’s a nationally known magazine, but I also know of the board’s policy against linking to “adult-oriented” material. I mean, her pictures are available on their website, after you register and pay a fee. Even if I didn’t MENTION the web address, it’s pretty easy to figure out. However, this was kind of a shock to me when I found out. And I wanted to see if anyone else out there who posts on this board has had a similar experience. What say you, all-wise council? ---

Might be an idea to also email the admins about your question, **Superdude** , they being the “powers that be”. ---

I don’t think we’re gonna care if you mention this. What we don’t want, is direct links to nudity. You can either talk about it without providing a link. And since at appears would-be viewers gotta get out their credit card and pony up, that’s not even possible. So, sure. Tell us all about this Wal-Mart vixen; just please omit the pics. ---

I once had something going with the cousin of Miss March 1998, Marliece Andrada, also of Baywatch fame. Sorry, I just feel I need to mention that whenever I can. Carry on. ---

My brother’s friend Edwin (whom I also know) heard that an old high school classmate of his was featured in _Playboy_… she was 19 at the time. His reaction? “Oh my God… she’s OUR age! That’s a bit off-putting!” F\_X ---

I don’t think Marliece lived here while I went to school with her brother. I just know he used to bring pictures of her photo shoots and would share info about her new projects. ---

So you’re saying that this guy carried nude pictures of his sister around with him? Am I the only one who finds that more than slightly creepy? ---

I took an acting class in college with Mandy Moore’s brother… that’s the closest connection I have to a cute celebrity babe.
