So I get the new issue of Playboy the other day and who's on the cover...again? Cindy Margolis. Now, for those who may not know, Cindy Margolis is a blond woman who is famous truly for no other reason than being famous. Back in the earlier, more tame days of the internet when the cool thing was simply to download pictures of models wearing bikinis, Cindy claimed to be the most downloaded woman in internet history. While that's always been a dubious claim, it did manage to get her spots on TV shows, radio talk shows, and even her our short-lived series that was so memorable that I can't even recall what she did. She was married and attractive and built a little empire out of her internet status.
What cracks me up about her is that she used to also make a big deal out of the fact that she would never pose nude. I remember hearing her once on Howard Stern talking about it and basically indicating that she didn't have to pose nude because she was already doing so well just posing in her various outfits.
Well, Cindy is now 42 and divorced. Thanks to good genetics, a presumably good diet, exercise, and a little help from plastic surgery, she's changed her tune about posing nude. This is her second time in Playboy and I think it pretty much gives you some insight into the psyche of Cindy Margolis. She doesn't need the money. Unless she pissed away all the money she previously made, she's set for life. While she bemoans the fact that she can't find anyone to date, I think she probably goes on dates. So why pose naked for Playboy? You can pick from any of the following standard answers given by washed up celebrities or psuedo-celebrities when they pose:
a) I feel like I look good for 42 and I wanted to show people that older women can still be sexy.
b) It's a new time in my life and I just feel like I'm finally living for me. I wanted to do something that would be a little risky and I was too self-conscious when I was younger but now I'm proud of who I am.
c) Playboy's been after me for years. I was always flattered but I was just too busy and it wasn't the right time. I finally thought, "What the hell?" I'm a strong, independent woman and I can show off a little if I want to.
The real explanation that you won't ever hear is:
d) I'm an attention whore who basically has never accomplished anything in my life other than being pretty. In fact, no one would have ever paid attention to me if I wasn't hot and paraded around with my boobs spilling out. The problem is that, like everyone, I got old. My husband dumped me and, well, teenage guys just don't tend to download pictures of 42 year olds. Since my entire self-worth and existence was wrapped up in receiving attention from people who don't know me, I found that I didn't really enjoy my new found status as a nobody. Since I can't act, sing, and don't have any skills that are even remotely applicable to the real world, I couldn't figure out how to get some more attention. Then I realized that I still look pretty good and even though people might not dowload me in bikinis, if I went totally nude I'd at least get 15 more minutes of fame. Of course, it only lasted 7 minutes so I had to do a second pictorial. A year from now I'll be doing another one for Penthouse, this time with a donkey and a cement lawn jockey.

LMAO. If I subscribe to both A and B, which I do, then, why hasn't Playboy called me?!
Well, you need to show up next time they have one of their Ohio Playmate searches. In fact, now that I think about it, I need to show up next time they have a Playmate search. Maybe I can console the ones who aren't picked.
She has somehow slipped through the cracks of my pop culture world. I don't know who this woman is! Good way to put it: famous for being famous, like Anna Nicole. MrB probably knows Ms Margolis.
Blue - I'm actually fascinated with people like this. While I'm not a celebrity person, I at least understand why folks like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are famous. But people like Cindy Margolis really baffle me. At least Anna Nicole was a train wreck with all here drug abuse. People like to watch train wrecks. But Cindy Margolis isn't even interesting. Yes, she's attractive but I seen women walking around downtown every day who are as pretty as she is. So why and how does she attain some level of celebrity? I think it's just pure marketing. She proclaimed herself the most downloaded woman on the planet which led to interviews and invites to talk shows. She proved to be personable enough to augment her appearance and I think that gave her the 15 minutes. Fascinating to me.
drdon, I've never heard of her. And since I live in Los Angeles, I've heard of absolutely everybody who is famous or thinks they are famous. So she can't really be famous for being famous. That would fall into Paris Hilton's lap. If she had a lap.
Furthermore, this Cindy person doesn't look like a real person. She looks like a plastic person. Is that pretty? I don't have a good compass to judge; I am the only person among my friends who has not had any plastic surgery - my face is my own, my boobs are real - and I'm nearly 60. Oh, but I'm not famous.
Diva - That's amazing that you live in LA and haven't heard of this woman. She even had her own TV show for a while I would guess it was based in LA. Plus she's been on lots of talk shows and done bit parts in a few terrible movies. Not that anyone in LA would consider her a celebrity but it's hard to believe that I know who she is and I'm in Ohio!
