A few items from the mailbag:After seeing our Playmate News item in October about a banner created by Oregon State University students honoring Sara Jean Underwood, the “first OSU Beaver Playmate of the Year,” Keti Batti of Santa Rosa, California writes, “As a female alumni of OSU and a longtime subscriber, I am surprised that current students aren’t aware that the fabulous Jodi Ann Patterson, the PMOY in 2000, also attended OSU.”
We often receive suggestions from readers for pictorials they would like to see. A reader from Chester Heights, Pennsylvania, writes to ask for a pictorial featuring “the beautiful women who used to work in the non-conforming mortgage industry. After being in that line of work for 10 years, I can say that there are many, many hot women in the mortgage field. And, now that many are not working, they may be ready to let loose.” We’ll look into it.
Meanwhile, Brian Kelly of Philadelphia says he received the October issue and was thrilled to see Girls of the SEC on the cover but disappointed to discover we were referring to the Southeastern Conference and not the Securities and Exchange Commission. “When are the sexy ladies of financial enforcement finally going to grace the pages of Playboy?” he asks. We’ll look into that one too—although we published a pictorial called The Women of Wall Street in August 1989.
Finally, a reader from Brunswick, Maine writes, “This may sound odd, but have you noticed that Hef and Kendra are rarely pictured side-by-side? There is usually someone standing between them. It would make for a good drinking game: drink if you see Hef with the girls, chug if you see him standing next to Kendra.” We can’t say we’ve noticed this—we have many shots of Hef with Kendra (including this one). Instead, you should chug when you see Hef without one of the girls nearby.

Comments on this entry:
The idea about doing a pictorial on the women of the (other) SEC is a good one, but I'd rather see Playboy go after a single business babe. As of now, former CNBC anchor Liz Claman is a woman without a job or obligation. Though rumors have her eventually joining Fox's new business channel, now would be the best time for the PB editors to attempt to entice this bodacious beauty to reveal her very non-liquid assets to the world in the pages of OFM. Liz is a throwback to the Playmates of the 1960s - a leggy, voluptuous beauty with a luxuriant mane of red hair and full lips that can make listening to news about the most boring merger a sensuous experience. This is time for Playboy to convince her to do a gold-plated pictorial before she's tied down to another news organization - and their ethics clauses.
