‘S’funny, I thought there were valid evolutionary reasons why a man might wanna appreciate them child-bearin’ hips, and the ample babyfeeders that make sure that the child of his loins is well nourished.
There are also valid evolutionary reasons for a man, entering a relationship with a woman who has already borne children, to find and kill those children. Do you advocate that as well?
(And large-breastedness maps to ability to feed a child only when the owner of said breasts is actually lactating. Mammals that have no breasts at all while not lactating spent millions upon millions of years conspicuously failing to die out for a lack of such breasts.)
If you’re talking about the filicidal habits of male lions, I thought the rationale was that killing a vanquished rival’s cubs would send the females of the pride into heat. Since females of our species are effectively in heat all the time, that kind of evolutionary strategy wouldn’t be necessary, would it?
As for evolutionary selection of large breasts, maybe it doesn’t have much to do with milk after all. But the connection is definitely there. So I reiterate: we males shouldn’t feel ashamed of our attraction to big hooters–it seems to be hardwired. Sorry if that makes anyone feel inadequate, but there it is.
Male lions, and male mice, and males of numerous other species. The objective is not just to induce oestrus – which does not work on females of all species, and oestrus would come around again eventually anyway – but to eliminate as much of the rival’s genetic material as possible and in so doing prevent that genetic material from consuming resources better allocated to one’s own.
Do you advocate this evolutionarily justified practice or not?
For a hardwired impulse against which men are invariably helpless, it makes its way into the prevailing sexual mores with curious rarity, even in, say, Europe’s male-dominated cultures. Women in ancient Rome wore undergarments designed to downplay their breasts. So did women who lived during the Renaissance – they were called ‘corsets’, and did more than just compress the waist. French historian Gustave Witkowski writes in the late nineteenth century that ‘Like ourselves, the [ancient] Greeks detested bulky breasts’.
All your arguments have been poorly-researched, but this blunt-instrument insinuation that your sexual proclivities have any impact on my emotional security takes the pot.
yes, clothes designed to hide breasts. Too bad feminists burned them all in the 60s. I mean, too good! and using big words does not an argument win, i hope this Slashdot invasion ends soon.
. . .what a handfull! (Or handsfull, perhaps. . .)
Indeed. We’re neglecting the important questions that ought to be researched, such as: is more than a handfull wasted? Hell, no, say I! Nothing compares to that gentle soft warm slapping on both of your cheeks as you bury your face in them. Would that it be Laetitia (wistful) . . .
Danni Ashe is the most downloaded woman on the internet, with a few billion downloads, IIRC. Cindy Margolis doesn’t come close. You can find a list of the top 30 or so downloaded women online at www . topnetmodels . com (warning: this also features a listing of top Internet fashion models, so some of the links that you click could point to websites containing scantily clad and/or tastefully nude women). Paul, you may want to check this site out, if you can, because it features many Playboy caliber models you’d probably enjoy seeing including Alley Baggett, another centerfold of Asian descent.
Regarding the centerfold paycheck -
I had a friend in high school who went on to become Miss October 1982 (IIRC) (Cynthia Brimhall). She made $15,000 for the spread but this was 20 years ago.
Is “spread” the best way to express that thought?
I understand, and correct me if I am wrong people think this is a good career move. While some Playmates have gone on to Bigger and Better things, most do not seem to.
Anna Nicole Smith was a stripper when she met and married that old geezer.
Maralin Monroe and Pamela Anderson I suppose made the best out of it of all of them I guess.
Cynthia went on to bigger and better things.
Featured model in Fredricks of Hollywood catalogs, music videos (David Lee Roth’s California Girls comes to mind), a string of cheesy movies, and is staring in a Vegas show.
Here she is. Don’t worry (or get excited ;)), the site is clean.

Nothing too major, but it is paying the bills.
Actually Miss October 1982 was the beautiful Marianne Gravatte, who later became Playmate of the Year for 1983. Cynthia Brimhall was Miss October 1985 and happened to be the first Playmate Centerfold to have no staples in the middle. Venice Kong, Miss September 1985 was the last Playmate Centerfold to have staples.
For those who chose to venture into the entertainment industry that would be a valid statement.
Jenny McCarthy, Pamela Anderson, and Anna Nicole Smith are just a few of them.
The Price is Right, was another place where you could see former playmates…they were known as “Barkers Beauties”. Nikki (Schieler) Zeiring and Heather Kozar are two of the current fixtures now. But other, such as Juliej Cialini, Janice and Ann Pennington use to Parkers Beauties as well.
If you watched Star Search alof of Playmates showed up there, Devin De Vasquez went all the way to win the Spokesmodel category.
The Playmate pay scale was noted in the December 1997 issue. Here it is:
1959-60: $500
1961-65: $1,000
1966-67: $2,500
1968-69: $3,000
1970-77: $5,000
1978-83: $10,000
1984-89: $15,000
1990-97: $20,000
From 1960-63, Playmates of the Year received $150 plus $250 bonus. From 1982-1997, they received $100,000 and a car.
Ah yes, September 1985, the Madonna issue.
You guys don’t watch many sexy B movies, do you? The field is awash in Playmates. For examples, the Andy Sidaris films featuring big-breasted tough gals taking on bad guys included the aforementioned Cynthia Brimhall, Devin DeVasquez, Shae Marks and others I can’t recall offhand. Linda Weismeier (I’m not sure if I got this name exactly right) was in a couple of B-movie stinkers, notably Wheels of Fire and the laughably bad horror flick Evil Town. Playmate of the Year Kathy Shower was in The Adventures of Tennessee Buck and the very erotic Erotic Boundaries. And there were tons of Playmates in Adventures in the Avocado Jungle of Death.
I suspect it being a Playmate is a good route to B-movie stardom, but is not especially good for making it to the A-list. But there’s no sure route to the A-list anyway except sleeping with successful producers and directors. And I hear that THAT doesn’t always work, either.
Actually, I think it might be getting into hand. I suspect, anyway.
You are sooooooo right dude, I forgot about that…Roberta Vasquez (October 1984) and Dona Speir (March 1984) starred in almost all of the ones you mention, and how could I forget Shannon Tweed (November 1981, Playmate of the Year 1982), Miss B-Movie herself.
Well as of this afternoon the Proxy Server (that allowed me to bypass the Saudi censors) has been closed down.
Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
Tell you what, I will pay one of you smart people to make a proxy server just for me, protected by a password. If it has minimal use I guess the Saudis would never find it to block it.
Any takers?
