Playboy's 55th Anniversary Playmate Search: The Contenders

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 20 May 2008 12:05:27 EDT

A few weeks ago we told you about Playboy's YouTube casting call to find the centerfold for its 55th Anniversary Issue (even though they don't look a day over 49). Asking aspiring models to show their stuff in such a public forum seemed like a good idea, but did anyone actually take them up on the challenge? Of course they did—not that people really need an excuse to post clips of themselves in their underwear on the internet these days, but in this case they just happened to have one. There are about 50 entries so far, which you can view all together in one handy playlist—or you can spend some time getting to know one of the contestants a little better. So why did we pick Michelle Mason? Well, not only does she hail from the same state as some of us here at Fleshbot (Go Michigan!), she also wrote us an email to say how much she likes us. Yes, we are that easy.

So how do you go about ~~trawling for~~ casting naked models on a website famously averse to nudity? Let the bubbly Dana DiCillo and her pals show you how Playboy is looking for tender young flesh for its 55th anniversary celebration. (Hint: it involves finding a two piece swimsuit that cuh-lear-ly shows your assets ... and a whole lot of perkiness!)
