Ever since Marilyn Monroe graced the first Playboy cover, it has been the dream of many women to become a Playboy Playmate. While some of these beautiful women are discovered by professional photographers, many are chosen from auditions or photograph submissions. Read on to see what it takes to become a Playboy Playmate.
Instructions
1. Research photos of previous Playboy Playmates. Study the composition of the photos, different poses and the kinds of women who are featured as Playmates.
2. Take your photos. You must send recent full-figure, nude photographs that show you in several different poses. You must also send close-up photographs that show your face well. The photos can be Polaroid, print, transparency or digital format.
3. Write a brief biography for yourself. Include your height, weight, measurements, occupation, awards and hobbies.
4. Prepare your identification. You must be at least 18 years old and provide proof (photocopies of two pieces of identification). Your name must be on both pieces of identification and one must have a current photo and your date of birth.
5. Submit your materials. Email your photos, biography and proof of identification to playmateeditor@playboy.com. Put the following in the subject line: Attention Playmate Editor and your name. Alternately, mail your submission to: Attn Playmate Editor, P.E.I., 680 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60611 USA.
6. Know what happens next. If you impress the editors, they may call you to make an appointment for test shots. Hugh Hefner and the photography editors will judge these shots and Hef will decide if you have what it takes to become a Playboy Playmate.
7. Attend one of the many open Playboy Playmate auditions that are held across America. Contact Playboy to obtain an audition schedule.
