'Playboy' Anna Nicole Smith Celebration Tugs At Our Heartstrings, Weensticks
We took a look at the new issue of Playboy - Lock has it delivered to the office rather than his home - to see how that tribute to the late Anna Nicole Smith turned out. Apart from the creepy, graveside bukkake feelings one experiences when looking at naked pictures of a dead woman which are clearly meant to be masturbated to (or on, depending on your preferences), there's a poignant air to the piece.
The people at Playboy really loved that magazine-moving piece of meat. You can tell by how often they refer to her rural ways, her size, and her fondness for food (sample recollections: "had a sweet tooth," "this was a hungry woman," "this girl had a prodigious appetite," "Anna had appetites," "still hungry for more," etc.). There's a very Donald Barthelmesque moment where she is saved from drowning in a hot tub. Hugh Hefner sums it up by noting that she "lived large and died too soon." But perhaps the most touching moment occurs in a description of her effect on America's ladies:
Anna brought sexy back to full-figured women. "Thank you," a female wrote us after we published Anna's Fenruary 1994 pictorial. "I knew my boyfriend was turned on by small-framed women, and I wasn't sure he was attracted to my curvy, big-breasted body. But after seeing his reaction to Anna, I'm feeling secure."
We sure hope those two are still together!
