Subject: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
I just read that former mall Princess Tiffany will be appearing nude in the March edition of Playboy. It seems the 31-year-old bubble gum popster is in dire need of a career boost, as she's almost broke after going through a reported $8 million fortune that she earned at the height of her popularity in the late-80s. I hope that this can help her out. I haven't seen the nude pics, but I've seen recent photos of Tiff, and she does look beautiful. So, would anyone buy a copy of Playboy just to see pics of Tiffany in the buff? :o
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
I read about Tiff's appearance in Playboy in a mailing list for another former teen star for the 80's who's still plugging along...and apparently also woulda posed for Playboy if she had been allowed to use a photographer of her choice. What a lame excuse...
Anyway, you can check a pic of Tiff's that will appear in the mag by going to Playboy.com, clicking on 'current issue' at top of the page then 'next month' at bottom of next page (sorry for not having the exact link).
Judging from the one pic Playboy has on the site, Tiffany's a *lot* more attractive than I thought she would be. The wonders of air-brushing...
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
Thanks for the 411, MacDaddy. I will definitely be visiting the Playboy site to check out the photos of the Tiffmeister. I've seen Tiffany recently on a television show, and she is still very beautiful. But, indeed, air brushing is a naked person's best friend!!! ;)
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
Air brushing was kind to Belinda Carlisle in last summer's Playboy pictorial she did. I've always thought Belinda is a cutie, but the pictorial did nothing for me 'cause I thought I was looking at an artist's rendering of her body. Who knows if what readers/droolers of Playboy will actually see what Tiffany really looks like.
Supposedly, according to a mailing list I receive, Tiffany posted a message to her fans (although I didn't see this at her site) spouting the usual "I hope this changes my image..." crap. Who knows? Skin seems to always be in but this just seems like a desperate attempt to get some attn. that'll come off with her looking like a has-been skank.
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
I agree with the coming off looking like a has-been desperate for a career renewal, attention and money.

I don't know, but dear Lord above, let me try to find out!!! ;D ;D ;D
I think she wants to reinvigorate her career, and at least she's being honest about that. She isn't saying, "Oh, I believe I have one of the world's best bodies and will use this money charity!" ;)

I don't know, MDC. :-/ Once it's past the thousands, IMO, it's all equally pathetic.

Buy, no - however, if I run across it in the dentist's office, I will not
forgo it for "US News and World Report"
Tiffany without drawers on? Geez Louise, pinch me, I'm dreamin'.

Yeah, I guess you're right, but boy, I thought she looked like a doll -

Really. No freakin' idea, but I'll gladly be the guinea pig to find out -

Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
I personally will not be buying Playboy ,and I would hope that if I ever won the lottery that I would not and could not blow millions of dollars within a decade...and I don't understand why women feel that to get attention they have to wear less clothing,if they want to pose nude more power to them but don't do it for attention...In my opinion your mind will get you more respect..I would respect Brittney Spears a little more if she would put some freakin clothes on and quit whining about wanting to be seen as a women...I'm sorry I had to get that out of my system
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
I found the site where Tiff is (sorry I won't post it here...not that I am a prude but I think Chucky would not like having a porno site advocated here!!) and it does not look like she has had much airbrushing done to me. Her body looks healthy and normal for a women her age. Guess it is for the public to decide. Wish she could find a way to use her voice again instead of using her body to make money!! I am not ashamed to admit I liked her music!! I know she has tried a few come backs, but there is always another chance out there!! Now that she has gotten naked...I bet she has a REAL good chance!!! ;)
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
It's always the same, right? "Now that they're naked..." I bet Britney Spears never wishes to do anything of that sort ever again, and, if it means saving popular music all over the world, I'm sure that most of us would agree with that, right? Ah well, we can all hope...
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
I saw the pic. It's pretty typical. That's a controversial move, for her to do that. It may work against her. How did it affect Belinda Carlisle - Anyone remember? Did she become more popular because of her nude?
Edited to add:
For a celebrity, sometimes publicity in any form is better than no publicity at all.
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
Wow, Tiffany had a lot less retouching done than Belinda! Belinda's pictorial was below my expectations, but Tiffany's was definitely above them. ;D

How can you tell for sure? Just curious, of course. ;)
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
In ref. to post above - On the retouching, that is. ;D
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
She has two children and she still wants to pose nude in Playboy ???
What kind of message is Tiffany trying to tell us? That she can be a good wife and mother but a bad girl? I'm not telling anyone not to pose nude, but exhibitionism is still a sin, right?
Anyway, I don't believe Tiffany has the body regardless of how many brush-ups Playboy uses on her.
Deborah Gibson and Celine Dion I can believe. But not Tiffany.

Well you've got to consider the age difference between the two...I think it's something like 12 years!!! :o

I work with digital photo programs a lot, so it's easier for me to tell what's been altered and what's not.

Ummmm...are you saying you think Deb and Celine have better bodies than Tiffany? Celine has the same nutritionist as Calista "A cheeseburger would represent 75% of my weekly caloric intake" Flockhart has, and Deb...no way. Great legs but not much upstairs.
I think Tiffany has a good voice. Despite all the troubles she's had, I think it's both surprising and sad she hasn't had a hit on radio since the late 80's.
Don't think Belinda's pictorial had much effect on fans' attitudes about her. I mean, if anyone's seen those videos of the Go-Go's backstage/hotel room/etc. during their coke-snorting years, seeing Belinda nekkid isn't much of a shock at all.
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
Tiffany said she didn't have a chance to do what Britney Spears is doing now in terms of showing skin. I don't get why she did playboy. Look at Britney Spears career now: its going downhill pretty fast. Tiffany is very beautiful but I don't want to see her naked. Her musical career was over by the end of 1988 and when Grunge came in the early 90's it sealed any chance of her coming back. I know she has gone she through lots of stuff but I didn't see the use for her to pose for playboy.
Subject: Re: Tiffany, Nude in Playboy
Airbrushed or not... Has been or not...I'll take Belinda anyday over Tiffany!!
