I’ve Never Thought Of Playboy, Quite Frankly,

Did You Know That I Almost Called The Magazine Stag Party And The Symbol Was Originally Going To Be A Stag? I Changed My Mind Just Before We Went To Press, Thank God. Somehow, It Wouldn't Have Been The Same. Can You Imagine A Chain Of Key Clubs Staffed By Beautiful Girls Wearing Antlers?

People Project Their Own Dreams, Fantasies, And Prejudices Onto My Life. So People Are Either Fans, Or Jealous, Or Disagree. Everybody Marches To A Different Drummer.

It Has Been Our Experience That Women Usually Prefer Thin, Undernourished, Flatchested Females, Dressed To The Teeth, As A Concept Of "feminine Beauty" -- And That Men Prefer Exactly The Opposite: Voluptuous, Well-rounded And Undressed. The Women's Idealization Of Woman Is Actually A Male Counterpart, Competing With Man In Society; Man's View Of Women Is Far More Truly Feminine.

For Me, The Magazine Was Always The Heart Of What My Life Was All About, And The Other Half Was Living The Life.

Creating My Own World In A Comic Or Selling My First Penny Newspaper Aged Nine Was A Way Of Gaining Recognition And Acceptance By My Peers.
