I've never been asked, but with a little airbrushing I'm sure I could do it but I wouldn't! EVER! I think it's degrading, demoralizing, just totally bad in my eyes. It's so disrespectful to women and of women who do it.
I was competing in the Miss USA pageant for Miss GA, but didn't go through with it, but I was accepted! (I must admit, I was a little proud.) When I spent 200$ on choreography classes and had Krystal sponser me, I found out that we would be in swim suits and I quit. Also, my instructor didnt inform me of our meet dates for chor. class until 2 weeks after it'd passed! I still didn't think it was very morally correct for me to be half naked and be judged on looks. We are women not cattle!

I just wonder; have you actually ever sat down with a Playboy and read the articles and the information it provides? There are many articles on pleasing women, the G Spot, sex toys and the clitoris are touted loudly and proudly in this magazine. It may not be for you, I understand that. But, to say it's "Degrading" if you haven't read 6 or 8 issues of it and really got a feel for it's ideas, is a bit of a knee jerk reaction to go off on it.
Playboy also is a strong believer in personal freedom, and there are myriad articles on this issue, many of which have little or nothing to do with sex. They were one of the first magazines, along with Rolling Stone to cry foul about "The Patriot Act" and how it was unconstitutional and broke our personal freedoms.
IMO, pageants are 1000 worse than something like Playboy. When a woman poses for Playboy she
knows that it's about sex, that men will be looking at her with lust and isn't lied to about "opportunities for your future" that so many of the pageants tell the girls.
Both Pageant Girls and Playboy Playmates are masturbation fodder. It's a matter of who is more honest about what they are using the girls for. And, if you look at the facts, Playboy is honest.
