Someone was bound to do it


A certain Steven Watts has penned a combined history and evolution of the Playboy centerfold along with a bio of the now hideous Hugh Hefner: http://www.nplusonemag.com/playboy-hugh-hefner-story. Watts explores the centerfold and how she has changed through the years, including the introduction and history of bush as we know it (touched on briefly in the Bettie Page obit seen here on December 12th). It's been a while since I've seen a Playboy. My old barber, Virgil (not the Greek philosopher), used to keep them in stock and would comment on the pictures from behind your shoulders while otherwise engaged in random clipping. Virgil decided to up and retire and I guess he took his Playboys with him. Selfsh bastard.
