don't remind me about what Playboy did, the only magazine that fucked up more was Sports Illustrated. Both alienated a lot of their customers. What Sports Illsutradted did to her in her last shoot, is unforgivable. I really hated it, because after she posted the BTS videos, she looked so much better, but the magazine used filters and shit that made her look 10 years older and not in a good way. Playboy did a lot of stupid stuff but my hope is way higher for that magazine, than for others. Isn't Sports Illustrated bankrupt?
I think Playboy still considers themselves to be an institution and they look at it as a privilege to be asked to pose in their magazine. They certainly pay the models something...depending on the scale of their fame. But they probably argue that the honor of posing as a playboy bunny is more valuable to the model than it is to the magazine.
Paige said in a recent live that she would do Playboy if they gave her the cover of the magazine. I hope that information gets back to the people who run Playboy and they consider it...maybe for a sports themed edition or something like that. I have used my Passes DMs to get a feel from her regarding nudity and she has always said "no nudity" with a disclaimer saying "right now" or "at this point". She has always left it open to changing her mind. And she has always said that she doesn't find nudity to be offensive or vulgar and she thinks the nude body is beautiful, but she just isn't comfortable with it at this point.
Considering the recent debacle she had on the Internet Invitational...I think she did some serious damage to her reputation. She has tried so so so hard to be taken seriously in the golf industry. She played a few pro events and mentally couldn't handle it and gave up. That was like 8 years ago at this point and it STILL keeps her up at night because she never stops talking about it. All she wants is the approval of the golf industry....she wants other pros to notice her....she wants big golf brands to give her marketing deals....and she wants the tour (or tour adjacent ventures) to give her on-camera speaking jobs.
Now that she just outed herself as someone willing to cheat on the golf course (something that is really frowned upon in the golf world) I think she set herself back big time in terms of being a front runner to be a commentator or do on course interviews/analysis, etc. She might find out sooner than later that her dream job of being the hot golf commentator that gets paid to puff her tits out and flirt/giggle with the players on camera (cc Amanda Ballionis) has gone up in smoke. She isn't talented at it anyway...her on camera personality is awkward. And she is obviously mentally unstable and untrustworthy as she openly cheated, lied, and then cried about it for 3 straight hours on camera. I don't think that looks good when the big companies do background checks before hiring their new talent.
I hope she reevaluates her career trajectory and just goes all in with the modeling. She will work half as hard and make double the money if she does. And she can get out of the golf-world spotlight where she will always carry that shame from the biggest youtube-golf video in the history of the sport.
With that said, the eye contact challenge that she sent out last night (for $25) was quite spicy compared to previous ones. If anyone hasn't bought it that's reading this....it is full hand bra with some very slight nip slips included. She either didn't slow it down and double check the angles, or she intentionally got a little bit more liberal with her hand placement and let a couple of single frame glimpses peak through her fingers. It's one of the hotter things she has ever sent in my opinion. And she sent it for significantly less than she has sent other similar videos for. I guess she is just experimenting with the pricing to figure out how to maximize the number of people buying the PPVs versus the price. 200 people buying a $25 video > 50 buying a $50 video.
