Girls Of Playboy: August

Blondes vs Brunettes: 3-1.

Brazillians vs Pubes: 3-1. Not a crossover though.

McKenzie Taylor got the Coed Of The Month position, and she's a shaven Blonde. Seriously, there's a quite considerable lack of originality this month in the Coeds, though I am exceedingly pleased that I finally picked the COEM. Didn't I? I don't remember, and I just can't be bothered to go back and check. Nope, I just checked, and discovered I chose Amanda King. How much do I suck?

The Coeds this month are Rebekkah Abilah (brunette), Linsey Rene, Amy Andrews (non-brazillian) and Angel Barber. Frankly, Barber is a little old for my tastes (though she's probably younger than me, but I always feel that the Coeds should look as though they are actually attending university just after college). Rebekkah I'm just not sure about. She seems a little stunned. Linsey and Amy are both very beautiful and I would choose Amy to be the COEM from this group. Hopefully I can get that one right.

Blondes vs Brunettes: 1-3 (wow!).

Brazillians vs Pubes: 4-0. Well done to those waxers.

Sharae Spears is the choice for CyberGirl Of the Month, and frankly I'm disappointed. There was so much choice from April and I'm talking about the range of ethnicity there. It was so great to see such a diverse selection of girls in April, but sadly they went for the standard choice. One which I didn't pick by the way. God I've got a bad track record for this.

Now, while it may initially seem that the Cybergirls are all pretty similar (really, even blonde Kristina Jarvis is the same as her three predecessors despite her hair colour), but it's interesting to see that there is quite an age gap. Anissa Holmes, first up, is 27, and after her is 19 year old Shannon Bettencourt. Alinna Penta is 24 and Kristina is 26, so it's interesting to see the age gap there. Nothing really stands out in the photographs this month, and the girls are particularly stand out from each other, but I'll put my money on Shannon. What have I got to lose? I have no reputation anymore.

Miss September is 20 year old Valerie Mason and it's nice to see a bit of artistry being done on the photos. I love the mirror photo of Valerie which reminds me a little of the Lisa Marie Scott pictorial waaaay back in...oooh...96? About the time I started reading Playboy, actually. Valerie has a slight Mary Elizabeth Winstead feel about her and she's a very pretty brunette. And how nice to see a snake being used as a prop in some of the photos? A wonderful change.

Surprisingly we've had a fairly constant brunette/blonde/brunette/blonde pattern this year, so I predict that Miss November will be a brunette. Miss October is blonde. I win.
