Whoever has the Harley magazine now…let me know when you’re finished. I’ll swap ya for this one with all the boats in it. 😉 $25K \>a couple hours doing nothing for a bunch of pictures nobody wants. 😃 Hell, you can giv’em to Jay Leno to show. I’m thinkin a nice used bike and a boat. (I’d probably pay off the house for real though) ---

I join the 3 or so people who said NO! I like my body and am not a prude, but that doesn’t mean that I have to share it all on a piece of paper in some magazine and be looked at (and worse) by millions of others to show how proud I am. Money is no issue, you could offer me a million and I still would’nt consider it. I’m also not a fan of porn in anyway. I find it impersonal and degrading. Give me a real woman right in front of me who actually desires me and I’m all good! ---

Turn down a million bucks **superstar** :dubious: BTW, Nobody said anything about doing pornography. Nude photos can have style and be tastefully done. **Isabelle** , we wouldn’t have to be spreadeagled and gagged with weird objects up our butt would we? 😃 ---

if they were into shooting fat underage people illegally… probably, as long as the photographee isn’t liable in any way. ---

A magazine bought by the masses to wank along to. Had someone said an art exibition, the photo’s would be a completely different style with a different audience. But that was not the question was it? ---

I don’t know … I don’t show my luxuriant field of back hair to just any stranger! 😃 ---

_shrugs_ It would certainly help out the ole college fund. And provided they were VERY liberal with the airbrushing, the picture probably wouldn’t look too bad. Not particularly attractive either, mind you, but women wouldn’t lose their lunches. My parents would never, ever hear of this, though. My parents are VERY conservative on anything even remotely related to sex - they’d probably both get aneurysms. ---

In a word: No. I would like to run for President and I don’t need old photos from Playgirl suddenly materializing out of no where. ---

Naw. Now a nude art thing – maybe. But not Playboy. ---

I’d do it but they would wind up putting me on the “joke” page at the back. 🙂 Flash it to family and friends. And wind up in jail for abusing the poor folks? I think not! ---

Well, OK, but only if it’s integral to the plot… Har har. Sure, I’d do it. I’ve been _al fresco_ in front of strangers before. ---

_Al fresco_ means “outdoors.” I imagine you meant _au naturel_. ---

I’d pose for Playgirl if I could have 3-4 months to get into really good shape. Then I’d send a copy to every woman I ever slept with. And I’d use the $25,000 to pay for my mom’s funeral after she dropped dead from the shame of it all. ---
