Women of Enron, move over.
The Girls of the ACC are coming to Playboy. Slated for release in October of this year, the issue promises to show off our conference in a whole new light--and turn the Duke girls who make the cut into the most talked about on campus come fall.
Playboy has previously done similar school-by-school spreads on the SEC and the Big 10; they'll be here next Monday and Tuesday, the 29th and 30th of March.
Recess spoke with several girls planning to try out, none of whom had posed nude before. They said they saw the Playboy shoot as a unique opportunity. "I thought it would be fun to at least try out and see what happens," said one. "I like Playboy I think it's a fun magazine.... My boyfriend thinks it's fun and exciting."
"I'm comfortable with my body--I can handle it," added another.
How do we expect Duke to match up against the other ACC institutions? Well, FSU and Miami might be a little out of our league, but there are a few schools we can take. The comp sci ladies of Ga Tech should fold about as fast as Jenny McCarthy's career; ditto to Virginia Tech and N.C. State. Clemson girls, on the other hand, have southern charm--if by southern charm you mean breast implants--which may work to their advantage. Expect our Baptist friends at Wake Forest to skip tryouts in favor of Bible Study, while the ladies of Virginia peal off their sundresses with delight. And as for our big rivals, UNC and Maryland? Without a Sweet 16 game to look forward to, God knows the girls will have time on their hands: Could be yet another photo finish.
To enter the competition, send two pics of yourself--a recent full-figure bikini shot and a head-and-shoulders "portrait"--to Playboy at collegegirls@playboy.com. The fair-minded people at Playboy also request a brief statement. Check out the Playboy website for more details.
