gabi, the playmates are full of plastic surgery. Cutting apart your body to look a certain way is not self-love. Your worth coming from how you look is not self-love, either. And they may not be stick thin, but they are pretty thin, especially when you consider the camera adding ten pounds. I’m glad it helped you, but most people need to know having a body like Queen Latifah is okay; watching the Playmates is not empowering to me at all.

i think its a bit unfair saying that they strip to boost their self esteem. maybe they actually like it?! maybe they actually like their bodies. it has been heard of before. heven forbid someone should actually flaunt their body and feel ok about it.
the playboy merchandise for kids doesnt actually endorse stripping, its a bunny and its pink. they have no naked women on there and it looks pretty. so what if a kid likes it. ask a kid why they like i doubt it will be due the naked women.
while i was in treatment sometimes id watch girls of the playboy mansion. i would look and them (especially bridget) and i would acually be inspired to progress with my recovery. they arent stick thin and they have a few “sticky out bits” like a normal person and yet they didnt give a shit and felt totally comfertable in their own skin. and like a normal person they proably do have have their off days but in general i think they set off a positive image to girls.

Thankfully, some things are changing re: Playboy.
In the UK, you can find branches of “Argos” on most high streets. They do stock many Playboy-brand products – but there was an outcry when people realised that one of the bedding sets was in their catalogue and on their website under “Kids Bedding”.
After complaints were made by concerned parents, this was soon changed, and the kids bedding section now features nothing more alarming than Dora the Explorer and Bob the Builder.
(Although Barbie also features. Now that’s a whole other topic for discussion! ;o)

I suppose the moral of the story is, if something bothers you, speak out about it – you might just get things changed…
