Dean definitely has a playboy subscription. He's a student of the game. That's why Dean has been able to differentiate himself from everybody else.

He shoots Glam and the bar was set by Playboy and they still have some of the finest photographers in the world. So studying them is definitely worthwhile.
Yooooooooo, honestly we lost our programmer bad timing, and still some hiccups, getting a new guy up to speed. Just wasn't ready in time.

I guess the common denominator is quality, but sure, certainly huge difference between glam and just natural nude photography. I didn't mean to say Playboy was a bad choice, but also for ideas I think looking at something similar yet different might spur creativity too, even more. Kind of sad to see lots of people ignoring the photos now that videos more dominant, but then again it just lends credibility to the better photographers too and funnels/concentrates the customers to the good stuff.

I should have another look at Playboy.com, I used to go there quite a bit when it was $8.95 a month for their Cyberclub site, I didn't think they really had a world-class websites at this point, and were concentrating on the fresh faces multi site model. I think we rated Playboy Plus pretty highly.

Baby getting big or what? My guy is huge now, it's out of control!
