playboy model!!
I've always wanted to go into playboy. I think i have a unique look and i have a tiny frame and big....well you know lol. But im so confused on what to do and how to do it. Like............what are the best people to get in touch with, what kind of pictures should i send, am i playboy material, etc. If you tried out for playboy or were in playboy then you would help me out ALOT!! Thanks everyone  Jan 24 08 02:14 pm Link the best thing to do is go to playboy.com and go to one of the casting calls. on the website, it also tells you what you need to do, and the ways to get in. don't fall for the, i have a friend who has a friend, who will get you in... Jan 24 08 02:15 pm Link Before doing submissions I would shoot some AMAZING glamour nudes. You're a cute girl, you should be able to get in somehow, but get some great pics. The good news is, there are a LOT of photographers on here that submit to Playboy AND shoot for Playboy. From this thread you may find a few, or try doing a thread search on "playboy photographers". Good luck to you sweety! Hope to see you on the pages! Jan 24 08 02:18 pm Link http://www.playboy.com/pose/index.html and you can discount 99.99% of all the guys that say they can help you get in....

They want SNAPSHOTS of you, a closeup of your face and a shot of your body from the front, side, and back, all nude (or at least topless). This's all on their website.

Jan 24 08 02:39 pm Link funny a couple of .01%'s showed up..... Jan 24 08 02:40 pm Link Marc Grant wrote: Playboy has a reputation to have a tendency towards women who are very tanned, many of whom have obviously enhanced breasts, etc. The typical "Playboy Look", I guess...Is that the primary look that the editors choose, or is it simply a generalization by people who don't really know what they are talking about?

There are always going to be exceptions. Jan 24 08 02:55 pm Link -Kayla- wrote: It depends. For the centerfold, VERY. For the layout girls, less so. For the special edition girls, even less so. Loosest standard is for the cybergirls. You CAN start out in cyber or special eds & move up to the main mag, but that's a harder path. Jan 24 08 02:56 pm Link wow you guys really know what your talking about thank you so much. and i will keep on reading your advice for sure i REALLY appreciate it alotJan 24 08 02:56 pm Link Yes, thank you so much guys! This is all stuff I have been considering for a while now. Jan 24 08 02:58 pm Link Why don't you just talk with Glenn Usdin. He is in Pennsylvania and has shot a number of times for Playboy. Here is his MM Profile: https://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=2697 He can give you a more definitive answer and can get you in front of the right people.

Jan 24 08 04:14 pm Link Check the castings to see when one of the awesome photogs of MM are in your area traveling and I am sure together you can make some magic Jan 24 08 04:19 pm Link you're getting some good advice here - you might try contacting MM Model Cat Platz - #169443 - she just tested for Playmate best of luck Jan 24 08 04:22 pm Link The advantage to working with someone who is submitting girls to the senior editors is that they don't go through any type of screening process. They go directly to the senior editor. Take it for what it's worth. If you don't see an advantage in that then no big deal. If you do, then you're ahead of the game. *EDIT* - this is not a back door in. It just gets it straight to the person making decisions on what Hef looks at. Jan 24 08 06:54 pm Link Marc Grant wrote:

Jan 24 08 09:17 pm Link Applicants for Playmate must send us only recent nude photographs of themselves. The photographs can be digital or prints, Polaroids or transparencies and show a variety of poses, including full figure and face shots. Please do not send us CDs, discs, or undeveloped film since we will be unable to review your submission. Sorry, we do not have photographers that we can recommend. The editors would also like information on the applicant, such as height, weight, measurements, occupation, awards and hobbies. Please include a brief bio as well. Playmate applicants must be at least 18 years old and proof of this must be included with the photo submission. This should be in the form of photocopies of two pieces of personal identification. Only the following will be accepted: driver's license, passport, birth certificate, school identification, voter's registration, Social Security, employee ID, or identification issued by the state of residence. Both of the pieces of identification must clearly show the applicant's name. One of these must have a current photograph and list her date of birth, or we cannot accept the submission. The individual submitting the pictures to Playboy, if other than the Playmate candidate herself, may be eligible to receive a "finder's fee" of $5,000 upon publication of the feature. A finder's fee is paid at Playboy's discretion. If an applicant is chosen and published as "Playmate of the Month" and she fulfills all of her obligations to Playboy, she will be paid a total of $25,000 with applicable taxes being withheld. Submissions can be mailed to: Attn: Playmate Editor P.E.I. (Just use these initials which stand for Playboy Enterprises, Inc.) 680 N. Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL 60611 USA Or e-mail [email protected] Please be sure to include in the subject line of your e-mail: Attention Playmate Editor. Please note this address is for Playmate submissions only. Questions relating to other subject matters will not be answered. If you are a California resident, please send your materials to: Playmate Editor Playboy Studio West 2112 Broadway Santa Monica, CA 90404 USA After the editors have viewed the material submitted, only accepted candidates will be informed in approximately three months. If Playboy has not contacted the applicant within that time period, then unfortunately she was not selected. While we carefully consider each candidate's potential for Playmate or other features, we DO NOT return unsolicited materials unless accompanied by an appropriate-sized return self-addressed envelope with proper postage. Be assured these photos will not be published and will be destroyed. The submission photos are for evaluation only. If you would like to be considered as a candidate for Playboy Special Editions, mail your photos and material to: Special Editions P.E.I. 680 North Lake Shore Drive Chicago, Illinois 60611-3088 USA Jan 24 08 09:34 pm Link Brandi A wrote: Lots of false information here. Jan 25 08 02:44 am Link There's some great info here. I've been wanting to submit a pic as well. I'm from Utah and I've only found 1 photographer (so far) that has shot for Playboy or at least a playmate. While he is one of the best photographers I've seen I can't afford the (rightfully priced) $1000 he charges. If I can't find another then I worry I about finding someone who can do something tasteful without making me feel like he's just a perv with a camera, lol. I've seen my fair share. -Jade Jan 28 08 01:29 pm Link Juniper Rose wrote: Tell Hugh Hefner i said hello! Jan 28 08 01:34 pm Link I personally think your playboy material. You have the look. Playboy.com should have requirements up to the standard of looks they are looking for. YOu shouldnt have a problem finding castings and so on and so forth. knock it oUT!
