She’s such a gorgeous girl, why did Playboy have to Photoshop out all her facial features? I’m so bored of covers making women look like porcelain dolls or wax museum dummies. Give me pores, and sweat and shine and radiance! Why did they have to make her look like everyone else? It’s too much, it lacks total subtlety. Remember the early days of Penthouse, before Guccione went mad? How beautiful the women were, because they were real, they were raw, they were natural! My God that was sexy, still today if you go back to these early issues and take a look, these images stand the test of time. Something happened in our culture that transformed women from an object of desire to a synthetic commodity. It’s an expression of everything that is wrong with our society, our abject lack of respect for nature, and natural things. I don’t know what to do about it. There is a resistance movement, attempts by some to change the standards of beauty. But we’re being washed away in a sea of mediocrity. If you try to bring art into the picture you get shot down as not commercial. What do they know?
