Playgirl magazine yesterday said it is seeking current or former male employees of ruined energy trader Enron Corp to pose in the nude for an upcoming "Men of Enron" pictorial. The call for male models comes one week after Playboy magazine asked female workers to pose in the buff for a photo spread dubbed the "Women of Enron."
"It's totally about wanting to give the men of Enron an equal chance, and we're the only magazine of our kind that can showcase the men of Enron," Playgirl Editor-in-Chief Michele Zipp said in an interview.
News accounts portraying some Enron men as hard partiers have given Playgirl's editorial staff high hopes that the reality matches the reports. "We heard a lot about the men of Enron, and we heard that they're wild, so we'll see," Zipp said.
Zipp said the issue's publication date depends on the response from potential models, who are able to negotiate how much they bare in print and how much they will be paid.
"I'm sure it's going to take the men a little while to choose just the right photograph, so I suppose that it's going to be a week's delay before we get any responses,"
