"I just get naked. That's what I do."

- 19-year-old himbo Levi Johnston explains himself to Us Magazine after their writer expressed shock that Bristol Palin's ex came out of his house naked when she arrived to pick him up for an interview. His Playgirl shoot, slated for early November, will apparently leave nothing to the imagination: Johnston plans on doing full-frontal nudity for the spread.

Nicole Caldwell, the former editor-in-chief of the now defunct Playgirl, "The New Yorker of naked dudes," talks about her tenure at the skin mag of (and sometimes for) men.

Farewell, Playgirl!

It's the end of an era, people - a hairy, sometimes overwaxed, and cheesy era of pics of nekkid men photographed supposedly for her pleasure. Alternately dubbed "the magazine for women," and then "entertainment for women," Playgirl is gone after 35 years! They say that in order to properly mourn something, you have to know what you've lost. Well, I hardly knew ye, Playgirl, but let's take a highly random walk down bohunk lane . . .

Listen up ladies because I've got some important news to report - Playgirl magazine is folding! According to the editor in chief, Nicole Caldwell, Playgirl will stay alive on the web, containing more videos and pictorials with less editorial content, but the last print mag will be the Jan/Feb 09 issue. Now I won't even notice it's missing off the newsstand, but tell me, will the absence of Playgirl affect your monthly reads?

Former National Guardsman Plays Strip-Protest for Playgirl

CitizenSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 06:00:36 -0700

We're all seeing a lot more of former Army Specialist Stewart Zamudio. He's taken it all off for Playgirl magazine in protest of the Patriot Act which he says, heh, "strips away" Americans' freedoms.

Zamudio spent six years as a National Guardsman even appearing in a TV commercial from Ground Zero for the military but slowly started to feel as though his opinions didn't jive with his mission.

He says of his time in service, "I think that there is a restriction on what you shouldn't say and what you should do and shouldn't do and how you should express yourself," he said. "I mean, you're not supposed to criticize your boss. . . And I did." He continues, "I think it's gotten too political, the war and everything. And we just have to focus. I want to change the meaning of what the American flag is to the people."

The meaning of the flag just might be different draped across his naked shoulders in the pages of the racy mag. He's also pictured in his official uniform. Critics don't like either method of covering up, nor Zamudio's message. One says, "It's a dishonor to everybody else who serves. We don't need to do that that. We don't need to look like the sorry character he's portrayed."

Zamudio received $1,000 for the shoot, money he's giving to a veteran he says needs money for medical reasons. What do you think of this protest? Is wearing his uniform and his flag in protest in a magazine like Playgirl a clever and appropriate way to sound off or does it strip both of dignity?

Levi Johnston to Bare All in Playgirl - Will You Buy the Issue?

TresSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:10:00 -0700

It's now 100 percent confirmed that Levi Johnston will bare 100 percent in Playgirl, but don't worry - the photos of the 19-year-old Sarah Palin nightmare will be "tastefully done." The teen dad will shoot the pics on Nov. 16, the same day Levi's ex-future-mother-in-law Sarah Palin is set to make an appearance on Oprah. Yesterday, Sarah Palin chastised Levi for "selling his body" - but Levi says his nude shoot is no big deal, explaining: "I just get naked. That's what I do."

Erotic magazines for women have had a hard time finding a formula that works. Perhaps attracting good-looking, infamous men like Levi Johnston will give this genre the hype it needs to go mainstream, but there's no guarantee that this type of porn will actually turn women on. Maybe curious women (and men) can still want to see someone naked even if they're not attracted to him. Now that we know Levi is baring all, will you pick up the magazine? Feel free to tell me why or why not in the comments!
