[net.women] Madonna in Playboy

tron@fluke.UUCP (Peter Barbee) (07/30/85)

Well, I bought the "Madonna Issue" of Playboy yesterday - I just wanted
to see what a boy toy might look like, and besides |-), "The Girls of Mensa"
were suppossed to be in there too (they weren't).

To set the story straight, the pictures Playboy published were taken a few
years ago (sorry I forgot) when Madonna was picking up a little extra cash
as a nude model for posing photography students.  The publihed pictures were 
those taken by the professors.  There were two sets (different professors) and
both sets were more artsy than suggestive.  Not a single photo was of a boy
toy, (damn! I still don't know what they look like |-)).

Of course the magazine, in general, sucks.  Their equalitarian viewpoint seems
to stress the ideal that if your wife has a good job your life will be easier
(more money, etc.).  I admit I liked the part where they predicted the Seattle
Seahawks to win the Superbowl, but one premature prediction does not a 
magazine make.

Later,
PeterB

Hey Peter:  I hear that they let women into Mensa, too.

(And some of them can even spell, let alone make, er, premature predictions.)

Yes, I know I'm nit-picking (oooooooooooh, MIGHT be PMS!!!), but one more
thing: since when do egalitarian viewpoints stress ideals that entail IF
statements????

Oh well, the supercilious last paragraph WAS kinda cute.

Signed,

A MENSA girl who knows.

I believe in that issue there was one girl who was from DENSA, guess who it was.

Speaking of DENSA - I heard that a significant number of their members are
also members of MENSA, and that an even more significant number could easily
qualify for MENSA but join DENSA instead as a reaction against "elitism".

BTW, does anyone have DENSA's address?
