I agree that she should be able to promote herself as a former Playboy Playmate.

For the most part, I think Playboy agrees. Playboy gets by with paying less by promising them the world...and letting them promote themselves thru the magazine.

It's good for playboy too - the girls go out into the world...and tell every magazine, radio, and talk show that they were in playboy...guys run out and buy the magazine.

What didn't make sense...was that the judge allowed the gal to continue to use the playboy trade name...but not the playboy trade mark.

Victoria Zdrok had a diamond playboy pennant on her necklace in vegas...and some girls...get the playboy bunny tatooed on them.

The judge couldn't possibly restrict Victoria from wearing a necklace (especially one that had been given as a gift) nor could he ask that a person remove a tattoo....

It's an interesting case...but a problem that Playboy brought on themselves... they want to have their cake and eat it too. Sorry Christie, it usually doesn't work that way
