Description Playboy's Magazine - May 2016 (USA) English | 120 pages | PDF | 90.99 MB ou may have heard that beginning with its March issue, scheduled to hit newsstands on Friday, Playboy is doing away with naked women. This might sound like Vogue doing away with fashion, or Cat Fancy doing away with cats, or, frankly, Vanity Fair doing away with movie stars and badly behaving rich people. But there has always been a significant segment of Playboy’s readership, going back to its first issue in 1953, which has identified “the articles” as its true reason for looking at the magazine. Now that the “the articles” are, indeed, the only reason to read Playboy, the question is raised: Are they, in fact, any good? Let’s take a look. First, however, it should be noted that the reconstituted Playboy still features pictures of beautiful young women wearing not many clothes and even, in a few photos, no clothes at all. But the models are more demurely posed than in the past, their modesty abetted by sheets, towels, pillows, unbuttoned men’s shirts, their knees, their hands, and judicious cropping. This is not your father’s Playboy. This is not even your great-grandfather’s Playboy. Rather, the tasteful but not distinctive layouts, airier than in Playboy’s past, suggest the kind of vaporous fashion and culture magazines you might find arrayed on the coffee table in a boutique hotel room. Playboy is an American men's lifestyle and entertainment magazine. It was founded in Chicago in 1953 by Hugh Hefner and his associates, and funded in part by a $1,000 loan from Hefner's mother.[3] Notable for its centerfolds of nude and semi-nude[4] models (Playmates), Playboy played an important role in the sexual revolution[5] and remains one of the world's best-known brands, having grown into Playboy Enterprises, Inc., with a presence in nearly every medium.[6] In addition to the flagship magazine in the United States, special nation-specific versions of Playboy are published worldwide. The magazine has a long history of publishing short stories by notable novelists such as Arthur C. Clarke,[7] Ian Fleming,[7] Vladimir Nabokov,[8] Saul Bellow, Chuck Palahniuk, P. G. Wodehouse,[7] Haruki Murakami, and Margaret Atwood.[7] With a regular display of full-page color cartoons, it became a showcase for notable cartoonists, including Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Cole,[9] Eldon Dedini,[10] Jules Feiffer,[11] Shel Silverstein,[12] Erich Sokol,[7] Roy Raymonde,[13] Gahan Wilson, and Rowland B. Wilson.[14] Playboy features monthly interviews of notable public figures, such as artists, architects, economists, composers, conductors, film directors, journalists, novelists, playwrights, religious figures, politicians, athletes and race car drivers. The magazine generally reflects a liberal editorial stance, although it often interviews conservative celebrities.
