Playboy Ewww

[Blind Gossip] This woman posed for Playboy early in her career. She was also one of the women who paid tribute to Hugh Hefner online when he passed.

However, she is not exactly happy about the direction in which Playboy is going. When she heard that they were going to be featuring a transgender model, she had an emotional reaction.

She was like, “Ewww! Are you kidding me? Gross, gross gross! Do they really think men are going to like that?”

Not Kate Moss or Jenna Jameson.

  4. She: Pam Anderson
    Optional: Nope. Gross, deep, underestimate of it’s core readers-subscribers.

  6. I long since quit caring about playboy. If i did still care on any level and were a subscriber? I’d cancel immediately. Playboy had a good run but, it is running out of steam and this was a desperate attempt to drive up conversation and remain relevant. Hetero men don’t want to see this stuff.

    • @ oreomax: well, those guys are probably closeted bi or simply in denial because no matter what hormones or surgery a trans ‘woman’ gets, they are still biologically male all the way to their dna. They’re still dudes. And dudes thinking about other dudes in a sexual way isn’t straight no matter what the progressive elements of society try to say.

  7. Jenny McCarthy, you wouldn’t think straight men would want to see that if they knew, but what do I know. My husband had no idea Laverne Cox on Doubt was transgender. I think he was a little disappointed.

  8. idk, Jenny McCarthy or Pam Anderson?

    The tone reads more like something Jenny would say.

    I don’t really think using a transgender model is out of line with Playboy’s brand, because Hef embraced things that were unconventional. I saw a comment somewhere that said if Playboy is doing this, then they should educate the masses by showing us the handiwork, show full frontal.

  9. Stupid Kendra. She WOULD for sure react this way given her husband’s scandal with a trans model or whatever.

  12. Woman: Jenna Jameson
    [Optional] Do you think Playboy featuring a transgender model is consistent with the brand? Not really…

  13. Ima gonna guess Kendra Wilkenson cause the phrasing and words sound just like her. And wasn’t her husband with one?

    I dunno as I am not a male, but on a personal level, I do not favor the idea.

  15. Pamela Anderson.

    if they didn’t advertise the fact that the model was transgender I truly don’t think many people would know or care.

    • Agreed! A trans woman model probably didn’t have many more lifts, tucks, implants, liposuction, injections, silicone, diet drugs and Botox, not to mention makeup, hairstyling, lighting, and photo retouching, than the usual Playmate.

  17. Jenny McCarthy.
    Playboy is a magazine geared towards men. Straight men. I used to work for them in the 90’s. Most straight men don’t want to see a transgender woman. It’s a buzz kill to them. I’m a straight female. I love men. If I knew someone used to be a woman and had a sex change, I would be turned off immediately. That’s just how I feel, and I think most straight people feel that way. I would only look for curiosity purposes at the transgender in the nude.

    • Methinks you should talk with a therapist (don’t be offended, bc I think everyone should).

    • I agree, it’s just a personal preference. I wouldn’t date someone who is transgender. Different strokes for different folks. I know many men think the same way and would be turned off by it. And elbeth, because she has a preference she is trying to convince herself she is straight? Say what you want, but a female to male transgendered person is still biologically a female, you can’t change your chromosomes. You can’t force people to be attracted to someone just because it’s “how society…

    • Elbeth your kidding right? Because she said that she would look at a transgender female nude out of curiosity that means she should question her choice of sexual partner? LMAO. Reaching

  20. It’s largely a mag for men who want to look at naked women so it seems odd they’d make this choice.

    • post-op (and if they had taken the hormones early enough to prevent the developing of any masculine features) you’d never be able to tell unless they admitted it. A lot of them are more stunningly gorgeous than biologically born women. I know, that’s so unfair lol

  21. I’ll guys Pam Anderson
    She has a point. These days playboy subscribers who are somewhat repressed and conservative, but they need a little porn in their life because they’re human animals. Doesn’t seem like the group clamoring for TG soft core. Sounds more like a publicity stunt to Jumpstart circulation

  22. Could be any number of them, Pam Anderson?

    Jenna already had her own comments.

    Tula wasn’t a centerfold, but was in Playboy in 81.

  23. Pamela Anderson ?
    Jenny McCarthy ?

    Whoever it is sounds threatened by the shiny new brand.
    Kinda insensitive of them, but times are a-changing. I’m a gay guy and I feel a bit ambivalent. Playboy has always been s
    about the female body. Evolving views on gender identification is shaking up current beliefs. If people don’t like it, then simply don’t buy that month’s issue.
