They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. While the networks seem to have given up trying to clone Lost, their attempts to replicate the zeitgeist capturing success of Mad Men continues. ABC has Pan Am coming, about the bygone world of sexy air travel in the 60’s, when flight attendants were stewardesses and had to dress slutty, and Starz has Magic City, about a sexy Miami hotel in the 60’s, where presumably the maids had to dress slutty. And most importantly, NBC has Playboy Club, about the birth of the titular Chicago club in – when else? – the 60’s, the decade when everything was sexist sexy.
I have no news or updated information about this show. But Amber Heard posted a picture of herself on Twitter in costume from the set of Playboy Club. Some celebrities have been donating money to Japan relief funds, but I think Ms. Heard’s gift was the most benevolent of the weekend. Thank you, Amber.

“Titular” Well played.
Wow. Pants are tight.
60s booty was much more bodacious. More seriously, it’s interesting to see the Free Love movement being characterized these days as less an emancipation for women as an opportunity for men to get more action. Probably the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but this is the perspective that 50 years of distance gives you.
I’d buy that for a dollar. Heh. Actually, I’m sure some women in the 60’s enjoyed the attention by dressing slutty. And men enjoyed giving them it (attention I mean). Today, you look at a stewardess/secretary in the wrong way and a sexual harassment lawsuit gets filed.
She’s a lesbian, what a waste.
Not if you’re a lesbian it isn’t.
Who cares about lesbians?
Joshua Miller, After having…Seen, Amber Heard Drive Angry in February, I am hoping, NBC…Hops to it and Greenlights, The Playboy Club to see if Amber has enough…Bounce in her step to be a Playboy Bunny!
My pornographic predilections are going to pretend you didn’t actually ask that.
Duke Fleed…what the fuck…do your posts…mean…? Are you…posting from…some kind of…mental asylum…?
I’m a girl and my pants are getting tight. Or, in my case, it must be cold, because my nipples are hard.
wish this was on cable so we could, you know, actually see some nudity, which is the point of Playboy.
What’s wrong with being sexist??
Thank you for noticing. I’m here all week, folks.
McGreedy Rises, Well For one, I am excited to…See, Amber instead of just…Hearing of her as portraying a Playboy Bunny! Also, I use ellipsis for…EMPHASIS! Also, I…Love Puns! For example, EmphaSIS, is a sibling of..EmphaBRO!
garageman, Don’t you know…LES is More?
