Proposal

While writing this paper, I plan to explore Playboy. I will discuss why people pose/work for Playboy and what got them to that point. I will choose certain people that have posed for Playboy, and try to understand why they chose that route. Some of the people I am interested in writing about is the Olympic Athletes that chose to pose for Playboy. They weren't only Olympic Athletes, they were gold medalists. It's not like they needed the money, so it makes me wonder why. I was also look at Hugh Hefner and how he affects what the models do. I have read that the models are basically his slaves, and if they do just one simple thing out of line—like talk to the wrong person, they get fired. I don’t personally understand why someone could live there life knowing that they are being controlled by another person. These girls are obviously beautiful, or they wouldn’t be a part of Playboy. I want to understand why girls with so much going for them choose Playboy over going to school, or having a “normal” family. Some of the models I will use as examples to look at more closely are Pamela Anderson, Drew Barrymore, and Rachael Hunter. I will give an in depth look at how they grew up, and how they ended up with Playboy.
