Week 1: Playmates vs Cyber Girls.

Let me break something down first and foremost. The Playboy Model Pyramid works like this:

  1. Playmates
  2. Cyber Girls
  3. Special Edition Models
One thing that I have noticed from working some of our events and from conversing with people in general is that sometimes a Cyber Girl or Special Edition model may be known better than the actual Playmate. Playmates are considered the cream of the crop, while Cyber Girls may look just as good, they may not be as photogenic.

Strike a Pose: Playboy Intern Becomes Model on TV for a Morning.

As some of you may have caught on...working for Playboy leads you towards some of the most random side-jobs and side-tasks ever. Luckily, this one was sa-weet!


How it happened: Joseph DeAcetis is the head honcho (Fashion Director) when it comes to fashion at Playboy Enterprises, Inc. In our August Issue, Joseph composed a piece about modern day Cowboy Fashion as a tribute to the top American Bull-riders (Cannot imagine how to spell their names for the life of me). Jessica from the Public Relations Department was asked to gather some models to showcase Mr. DeAcetis' picks for a modern cowboy wardrobe and one of the models chosen was me!

Where was it?: It was in New York City at the studio for the CW11, which is one of the more popular channels on basic TV here in New York. The segment was filmed live for the CW11 Morning News Show and was broadcasted to milli0ns of people throughout New York.
"Insert West Side Story Line here, haha"

What was it like?: Not what you would think, I'll tell you that much. Call time was 6:30a.m. So, you can imagine how tired I was. After hanging out in the greenroom and changing into the outfits we would be showcasing, they gave us a brief walk-through of what we would be doing. One thing stuck in my head from the overview..."Look Straight". I started to get nervous when I realized the pants were slowly sliding down and did not want to mess up the segment. When it was my turn to go down the runway, a couple of the camera guys are waving at me to look at their camera, but I try to look straight and get confused.

What did I wear?: Jacket and shirt by Paul Stuart. Jeans by AG. Boots by Donald Pliner

A Day at the Office: The Intern has been "had".

"Gotcha!" The infamous words that we say to somebody before letting them bite the dust.

About a week ago, I was on my way to lunch and I saw Rocky walking the opposite direction. Rocky is not an italian boxer from New York. He is a highly respected writer for Playboy and works upstairs with editorial (duh!). Primarily, Rocky works alongside Chris Napolitano. Rocky came to Spring Break with us last year and it definitely wouldn't have been half as memorable as it was without him.

Anyway, I'm on my way to lunch checking out all of the girls in their summer dresses that are see-through in the sunlight. I notice a few picking wedgies and a few squeezing their tig bass itties ( o )( o )together.


While caught in a trance from a hottie pulling up her dress, I see Rocky in the corner of my eye for about 2 seconds.


I turn to say "what's up" to him, only to get the infamous hand sign. The hand sign that looks like "A-Okay"...the hand sign that screams "Gotcha!"...the hand sign that leaves you right in the dust.


I make my way back to the office and see to it that I send Rocky a very important e-mail containing the below image.

Within minutes...I go back to the e-mail to save it and somehow Rocky had replaced it with an image of his own.
Congrats, Rocky! You got me....for now. Too bad that cool hat you're wearing used to sit in my cube and I know that it was designed for females.
...Smooth...

Soon enough, I will have the perfect counter to take care of business. I've been trying to come up with a master plan to get Rocky in the best way possible.



Send me some suggestions on clever ways for me to get him back!

Ask Charlie Test Video: Advice from a Playboy Intern.

As mentioned in my last post, I will be featured as somewhat of an adviser for PlayboyU and have finally put together a test video. Keep in mind that this is a rough draft of a rough draft; therefore, it is nowhere close to being the finished product.

My verdict:
  • Sick ass intro.
  • Shitty and boring when I speak.
  • Background looks to ghetto.
I have received some great pointers from Chris Duncan. Let me know what you think...

Rise of Charlie will be on PlayboyU.com: Ask Charlie...

What's up everybody?,

Soooo...
Some pretty cool news:I will be featured on as somewhat of an advisor. The whole concept is for people to let me know any problems or hard choices that they are facing and I will either help them out by making their decision easier.




Here is a sneak peak of the feature graphic:





It will be a video feature with an intro performed by Lil' Wayne.

The song will be Weezy's remix (link to hear it)of the old Beatle's hit "Help".



One thing that I am worried about it how much of a dick I can come across as by being honest.

Let's see if the PlayboyU community can handle it...

Why So Serious??? The Dark Knight & The Mail Room Guys at Playboy are the Shit!

What's going on, everybody?

Over the past few months, the mail room guys here have had me drooling over The Dark Knight.


We have seen about 20 minutes worth of footage from the movie and it looks awesome.

Alberto from the mailroom and I have been plotting to see the very first showing here in New York, but we're hesitant because lines at the movies in New York resemble lines at College Fest.


Line at CollegeFest 2007:

Since Alberto seems to be backing out, I'm thinking of going solo at like 6a.m. The reviews of this movie were amazing and are supposed to be Earth shaking as Heath's final bow.

I'll let you know if I grew the balls to go or not and how the movie is.

Why I'm such a douche...

Why the hell have I not written on this for like a month? I'm not one for excuses, so let us be real. I'm a lazy douche bag.

If I were to use an excuse, I would say I've been really busy or that there hasn't been that many really exciting things going on here. Half of that would be true.

So let me cut the bullshit and post something to let you know what is going on behind the scenes.

I will be more loyal with my posts. Scouts Honor.



Good news:We already have a sponsor for College Fest. It's a video game called Saint's Row 2, which is pretty much like Grand Theft Auto, but with gangs.





Bad News: My desk was sabotaged!
