This one was a little bit too obvious. In fact it was so obvious that I actually thought about picking someone else. But it isn’t Lisa Marie’s fault that every dude who has ever read an issue of Playboy, especially the one she’s in, has fallen in love with the cute little ballerina. Maybe it was the pink little ballerina outfit she posed in for her pictorial layout. Maybe it’s the fact that she was one of the first Playmates to branch out beyond Playboy, doing crappy ass Baywatch Night episodes, and jumping over to the enemy empire over at FHM. Of course, she’s also one of the first Playmates to truly utilize the Internet to its fullest, posing for Mac and Bumble and Mystique, and ultimately opening up her own website which she actually updates on a regular basis. Can you believe that shit.

I think that for a lot of dudes it’s the fact that she’s of Asian descent. The half-Japanese, half-American, half-Scottish, half-Swiss mutt is essentially the new male American dream girl. Black dudes love black chicks mixed with Asian. White dudes love white chicks mixed with Asian. And it ain’t just Asian love. Today Playboy annoys us with that shit to the fullest. When have you not read in a bio for one of the Playmates that she isn’t mixed with something. Nobody’s just plain white ass cracker, or black hole skillet. No creme. No nothing.

I personally think chicks carry their muttness like a badge of honor. It separates a black chick, and a white chick, and some foreign Czech goddess from the masses of plain ass one DNA, one color pack categorical sameness. But I wouldn’t blame that on Lisa Marie, outside of the fact that Playboy, and the chicks who wanted to get into Playboy, learned of the popularity of Lisa Marie, and saw fit to copy her to gain similar popularity.

Which makes one wonder why Playboy has never learned how to replicate the popularity of her body type. Scott and Elisa Bridges were two of the most popular Playmates of the 90s. And they both were petite with no body augmentations. They were natural. And in Lisa’s case, dark haired. So, why in the hell has the current crop of Playmates, especially after 2000, been mostly blond with big fake breasts. And Playboy still wonders why they keep losing readership. It’s not a big secret. You’re not giving the public what they want.

Of course, the current year was supposed to bring about a change. Over the past year the magazine still featured over seven playmates that were blond. And Charis Boyle and Rebecca Ramos were an abomination. The playmate to make the biggest splash on her debut was Carmella DeCesare, another petite, dark-haired beauty. There was a tendency to try to feature more natural playmates like Audra Lynn and Collen Marie. But it still wasn’t a break-out-the-mold year.

Many thought 2002’s attempts at diversity would reflect in future years of Playboy. That year included three women of color, as Playboy likes to call them. It might be four if you include Michelle Rogers. And five if you include blond, white girl Teri Harrison, who I believe is, part Japanese. And it was one of the first times in a long time when a black chick, Serria Tawan, appeared in the magazine and wasn’t heavily mixed with something else. Although I could be wrong about this. It also included Christina Santiago, of Puerto-Rican ancestry, as the Playmate of the Year, a first I believe. I could be wrong.

Of course 2002 may have been an aberration. Playboy may not show that level of diversity for a long time coming. But it was refreshing while it lasted. And 2003 wasn’t all bad, just hit or miss. Here’s hoping that Playboy gets back on track. Or better yet, start a new track. The formula, the blueprint already exists. All you have to do is look at Lisa Marie Scott.
