playboy

[renferme]

You've seen nothing until you go to Hong Kong, there are even Playboy shops over there.

 

[laura4eva]

wow! have to go there sumtime

I would never wear it, but over here this has been a big trend for years. It seems like every 14 year old has a playboy bunny something.
I don't think it's a big deal when it comes to what it represents. Playboy is not p*rn.. But it's not for kids either way

Heres a classic cover

apparently the rabbit is hidden on every cover photo.

Just to add- I know a lot of people here respect Katie Grand, the stylist - she was a friend of a friend of mine. It was she and Pippa Brooks (owner of Shop in Soho), who first persuaded Playboy to make clothing and jewellery. I distinctly remember meeting her in a bar in Soho when she was wearing a Rabbit necklace. a lot of her early shoots for Dazed and Confused and the Face were heavily inspired by Playboy covers.

In fact Pippa went on to become a Playmate - you might hate me for this but I saw the pics and they were brilliant in a Vivienne Westwood /kooky kind of way.

So we can blame Katie!

well, im not liking the playboy clothes, but i love playboy nostalgia!! great covers from the 60's into the early seventies!! i had no idea that katie grand had anything to do with the silly playboy clothes

a friend of mine was living in beijing and she said the exact same thing about the playboy bunny logo.it was everywhere on kids' backpacks and even shoes!!

[yourbestfriend]

dont wear it! ...mainly the sluts and whores over here wear it, and some of them go tanning and put a lil piece of logo sticker on their hip so when they tan the logo is light while the skin is tanned...

I think the people who wear it actually want the trashy/sl*tty/cheap look, that's the whole point behind it.

Here in Cali only the tacky sluts wear it....logo shirts with coochie skirts

I wouldn't wear playboy stuff, but I like the Playboy nostalgia...I had a classic cover hanging in my bathroom.

 

[laura4eva]

every girl i know seems to like playboy... or if they dont like it they dont hate it,if you get me.I think its totally different in the uk to any other country.

 

[PrinceOfCats]

A lot of people view Playboy as trashy in the UK as well, laura4eva. Probably the majority of adults think it's degrading/ugly.

 

[pucci_mama]

Only chavs wear it.

i feel like a sl*t i didnt know ppl thought of it this bad!!

 

[AlexN]

Awww...don't feel bad. It's just that people will judge you. But if you don't care, you don't care. So whatever...

 

[basiamille]

When I was 14 I wore this rhinestone Playboy necklace. Its accually nice if it weren't Playboy. I would never be caught dead in it now though.. But I have Playboy slippers to haha they're platforms. Kinda uncomfortable but I dont have a problem wearing them around the house. =)

I think Playboy jewellery and merchandise is pretty tacky, but I don't judge people who wear it; it gives clues about what kind of values you have though. People should be aware of what the logo symbolises, and I think most people are.

 

[Plastic'sWife]

I completley agree! ^
I dont wear anything that says something or stands for something that I dont personally believe in.

 

[rhiannonmars]

I defiantely understand the tacky way most people wear playboy logo items.

10+ years ago I was 14. I was into Courtney Love. She had a playboy sticker on her guitar, so I did too! She did a song called "Teenage wh*re" if anyone remembers. It was all about rebeling, but also, I think teenagers also relate to the cuteness in a bunny, just like the cuteness in Hello Kitty.

I'd hate for my future daughters to ever wear something like this that young though. You might give guys the wrong picture. (that your easy) Young boys will not understand anything more than that it is a call for sex. They will not get its a classic symbol come from a retro magazine, that playboy is also a magazine with articles in it, etc.
