It appears to me that Claire Sinclair has been handed the Playmate of the Year title before voting even began. Here’s why I believe this:
I’ve been a reader of Playboy for over 25 years. As a fan of Playboy I on occasion go to events such as Glamorcon to meet Playmates and get their autographs. On Nov 5&6, 2010 I went to the event in Long Beach, California. I was particularly excited to meet the new girls from 2010, Olivia Paige, Shera Bechard, and Claire Sinclair. With Claire was her sister Angela Riccio (for the record Claire’s real name is Clairissa Riccio - http://pinupclairesinclair.com/biography.php).
While in the lounge having a bite to eat I was sitting within range of Angela standing talking to a couple of people, when I overheard her say; “Hef has already said he wants her as Playmate of the year…”. It was very obvious who she was speaking about – her sister Claire. At first I thought this was nothing more than boastfulness/wishful-thinking on her part. But then again, with Claire dating Marsten, Hugh Hefner’s son, I thought there could be something to it. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time nepotism has played a part in someone getting something they don’t rightfully deserve…
Then December rolls along and I notice on the various Playboy boards and forums that some of the members are saying the exact same thing – that Claire is indeed Playmate of the Year. Here’s a Yahoo Playboy forum that even talks about which photo of Claire will be on the cover of her PMOY issue (groups.yahoo.com/group/pml1/message/59459). This is from early Jan – only a couple weeks in to the voting process.
The next smoking gun comes from a buddy of mine who lives in Vegas and is also a big Playboy fan. While at a Playboy event at the Palms he too overhears some people (Playboy insiders perhaps) saying that Claire is the Playmate of the Year. But if hearsay isn’t proof enough, Robin Leach has pretty much said so in print. In this article from Jan 21 (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/jan/21/strip-scribbles-donny-osmond-predicts-end-american/) Robin claims Claire is “is ahead in voting for Playmate of the Year after her October centerfold”. And in this article from Jan 25 (http://www.vegasdeluxe.com/blogs/luxe-life/2011/jan/25/photos-centerfold-claire-sinclair-says-romance-hef/) Robin says that Claire “is currently in first place in the voting.” WHAT???? How does he know this? It’s not like there is any indication from Playboy’s website where the voting stands. NONE WHATSOEVER!
From my knowledge there are only a couple indicators of what the current results of the voting are. A website called GuysNation started their own poll on Dec 26 for Playmate of the Year (http://www.guysnation.com/playboy-playmate-of-the-year-candidates). The current standings show that Claire Sinclair is in fourth LAST place. Meaning there are eight other girls with more votes than her (for the record Shera and Jaime are in 1st and 2nd place respectively).
Now I realize GuysNation is just an outside source, and may not reflect the actual voting on Playboy’s site. So let’s gather what we can from Playboy’s voting site: http://pmoy.playboy.com. If you go to the main “Meet The Playmates” page (http://pmoy.playboy.com/meet-the-2010-playboy-playmates) there are over 50 comments there from Playboy readers giving their opinions of who the Playmate of the Year should be. This seems like it would be a good cross representation of what Playboy readers think. So if you tally up all those votes you will see that Claire is once again not in first place! In fact you’ll notice that like the GuysNation poll, Shera is in first place, followed by Jaime, and then Olivia and Amy tied for 3rd.
Want more? Go through the various posts and individual pages on the Playboy voting site. Another good indication of which girls are the most popular is by looking at which posts have the most comments, Facebook likes and Twitter retweets. Again, you will see that girls like Jaime, Shera, Amy, Kassie, and Olivia are leading the pack. NOT CLAIRE! So where on earth does Robin Leach get his information that Claire is in first place? Seems like he’s being told what to say by Playboy insiders in my opinion.
Now let’s go back to Robin’s article for a moment (http://www.vegasdeluxe.com/blogs/luxe-life/2011/jan/25/photos-centerfold-claire-sinclair-says-romance-hef). You will notice he says that Claire “will appear for a second time as a featured entertainer in Crazy Horse Paris this spring, had been offered a longer contract but had to nix it in the event Playboy readers selected her as 2011 Playmate of the Year”. And in this article from Dec 9 (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/dec/09/photos-claire-sinclair-moves-town-channels-bettie-/) he says the same thing; “She’s been offered return engagements with Crazy Horse Paris but has to wait until the annual Playmate of the Year contest is over”. Would a 19 year old girl really turn down a lucrative contract with Crazy Horse Paris for a less than 10% chance of becoming Playmate of the Year, unless she ALREADY KNOWS that she is in fact been chosen as PMOY??? I personally don’t think so!
It’s no secret that Claire was dating Hugh’s son Marsten. Much has been made publicly about their recent split (especially by good old Robin Leach). I would not at all be surprised if they have broken up ONLY so that when Claire is crowned Playmate of the Year it doesn’t look like favoritism was involved. Well if Claire was made Playmate of the Year all the way back in at least early November like her sister claims, then clearly favoritism WAS involved.
So why I am saying all this?? I’m not trying to take one girl down in favor of another. This has nothing to do with my opinion on who Playmate of the Year should be. Personally, I’ve had to endure nepotism in the workplace and frankly it sickens me. Now if Mr Hefner wants to hand his company over to his sons or daughter, that’s fine with me. But to hand the PMOY title to his son’s girlfriend on a silver platter is a slap in the face to all of us loyal Playboy readers who actually think our votes count. Not only that, but some of us have have actually spent money to vote via text messaging. It better not have been money spent for nothing! Hugh clearly doesn’t realize that while he may have created Playboy it was us loyal fans who built it up. And if he wrongly crowns Claire Sinclair Playmate of the Year in May like I believe he will, then he clearly doesn’t give a shit about us.
UPDATE: I would like to stress this is NOT an attack against Claire. I have nothing against her, when I met her at Glamorcon I thought she was very charming and sweet. I would be posting these comments NO MATTER WHO was unfairly given the PMOY title before a single vote was cast. I just want to make that very clear.
“Here’s a Yahoo Playboy forum that even talks about which photo of Claire will be on the cover of her PMOY issue (groups.yahoo.com/group/pml1/message/59459). This is from early Jan – only a couple weeks in to the voting process.”
You should nix that part from your post as the guy in question simply didn’t know what he was talking about. It was concerning a french Playboy issue that was using her already released Playmate of the Month pics and for no reason at all this guy was talking about her PMOY cover picture. Makes no sense either way as they would shoot the cover specifically for that issue.
Good research otherwise and while I agree that it sucks that a girl is picked even if she’s not among the top three, you have to realize that Hef ALWAYS has the final word on PMOY, he ALWAYS picks the girl, whether they’re dating him, his sons or anyone else.
Claire Sinclair is one beautiful young woman with a lot of the “IT” factor going on!!!! She has something special than not everyone has!!! She has so many things going for her, she has done Crazy Horse and they want her back!!! she is the national spokesperson for the Bettie Page stores, she has worked really hard and she does not actively campaign for Playmate of the year like her life depends on it!!! She deserves this title if you ask me!!!
Sorry, but give me a break. I know beauty is subjective, but Claire is definitely not the most beautiful girl to grace the pages of Playboy this year. And while she may have a great personality it isn’t any better than most of the other girls. And as far as the “it” factor that you describe, Jaime has appeared on the TV show the Amazing Race – twice! And Shera had the lead role in a film for which she won a best actress award for. So you cannot say that Claire has something more going for her than the rest. In fact, if you go to imdb.com and look at their star rankings – both Jaime and Shera have a higher ranking than Claire – despite her being on the show Holly’s World (http://s1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd378/pmoy_is_rigged/). So there’s two Playmates who have more going for them than Claire. And as for Claire “not actively campaigning for Playmate of the year like her life depends on it”, it’s because it was handed to her unfairly before a single vote was cast. She DOESN’T NEED TO campaign at all, she just does so for appearances.
It’s common knowledge that PMOY selections aren’t based entirely (or much) on voting. Marketing and popularity with the right people help immeasurably.
However, I see no reason to not take events at face value. Claire has left for Las Vegas in order to continue with her show. Simple and logical. We can twist the meaning of events and speculate on other people’s motives but a conspiracy theory remains an exercise in guess work and entertainment until proof is presented. And so far we haven’t seen anything to make us believe that anything other than the normal PMOY selection process is at work. Instead, this site seems intent on sullying the reputation of Claire based on nothing more than the speculation that she will be named PMOY.
Credibility here would also be enhanced if this piece’s author would reveal his or her ID.
No I’m not trying to sully Claire’s reputation. Claire did nothing wrong here, Hugh Hefner did when he unfairly gave her PMOY back in Nov which is what I believe to be true. I think the evidence speaks for itself. Why on earth is Robin Leach saying she’s leading in the polls, when a) it appears she is not, and b) how would he even know this??
It’s not the first or last time PMOY has been rigged. Legend has it Victoria Silvstedt only ‘accepted’ PMOM if she got PMOY. Why else would the Miss Jan, Jami Ferrell, IIRC, have a Christmas themed shoot?
I know Heather Kozar was PMOY by Feb6th 1999. Check her writeup, and you’ll see references to Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt ‘making their first public appearance together’ for her birthday party. Strangely there was a Glamourcon in LA that weekend, and Ms Kozar had been invited to a birthday party in the hotel with other Playmates and fans. There was also a party at the Mansion. Heather declined the invite, as she ‘had a job interview’ that Saturday evening. As you do. It would also seem Ms Kozar was possibly the ONLY person at that Glamourcon unaware Ms Brooks, Dergan et al, were whistling dixie that real votes held any sway, as Kozar had it all sewn up.
While they don’t shout it from the rooftops, Playboy has always openly admitted that the final decision in selecting Playmate of the Year is Hef’s and Hef’s alone. Search the archives of the PML1 Yahoo! Group you reference above, and you’ll find plenty of discussion about this issue. The PMOY voting copy is always carefully crafted, and never states that the Playmate who receives the most votes will become PMOY. This year, the print issue and the PMOY website state (emphasis mine):
The average voter– who isn’t aware of the history of PMOY voting, and who isn’t parsing the copy carefully– still has the impression that the winner of the vote will be PMOY. It’s disingenuous, and does a disservice to Playboy fans and especially to the Playmates who make an effort to garner votes.
I realize and understanding why voting alone shouldn’t decide who gets PMOY. But I feel that Hef should at least look at who the fans are supporting FIRST, before deciding on who PMOY is going to be. As I mention in this post, it appears to me that Claire was handed this back in early November – long before a single vote was cast.
Are you Kidding ME??!! Everyone with half a brain knows that no matter how well you perform on The Apprentice (ie Annie Duke) Donald Trump picks who HE WANTS TO WIN (ie His Friend Joan Rivers – who didn’t even show up for several episodes) The same goes for PMOY . Do you really think that Hef is gonna let his stupid fans decide who will best promote his brand?!
In the few short months since Claire Sinclair has been Playmate last October, she has been named the youngest performer to Headline in Vegas, has nailed several endorsement deals including a contract to represent the Bettie Page Stores Nationwide, and has been named as a new cast member for “Holly’s World” Season 2. This in SPITE of Marston Hefner (Hef’s Nutty son & Claire’s ex-boyfriend), who dumped her last week!
There’s no denying that you can search the internet and find a jealous, mean spirited post about Claire, here or there, but I’ve NEVER met ANYONE who knows Claire that has a bad thing to say about her.
The rumors are that Sinclair has been asked to host a teenage makeover show for MTV, and that’s just one of the many things on her plate for the upcoming year. She’s exactly the kind of young, beautiful talent that ANY publisher would dream of representing their Rag, so if in fact what you wrote is true, and Hef picked Sinclair for PMOY months ago, then that only proves what many have suspected long ago, – The Man Is A Genius!!
To quote you: “Do you really think that Hef is gonna let his stupid fans decide who will best promote his brand?!” My response to this is: Then why even ask for their votes??? And why charge them them money to text votes???
Remember Hef’s stupid fans made Playboy what it is today. In my opinion Hef should let the fans vote first, and then Hef can pick the Playmate of the Year from the top ranked girls. That seems fair to me. But to pick Claire before a single vote is cast is plain wrong! If you can’t see that you’re an idiot.
And in regards to all the great work Claire has done, who do you think got that for her – Playboy! They set it all up for her – Crazy Horse, and Holly’s World. They’re desperately pushing for her to be a star. If they gave the same push to any of the other Playmates whose to say they wouldn’t be as successful or even more so than Claire? Go read my response to Mary Smith for more on the subject…
Your questions : “Then why even ask for their votes??? And why charge them money to text votes???” Your 2nd question answers the first. They ask for votes because they make money from the cost of texting them. If you keep voting, you’re the idiot, and as much as you cry, you really can’t blame Playboy for that. They don’t state anywhere that it’s any kind of official vote, – heck they don’t event post the leaders or results!
Regarding your speculation that Sinclair was handed everything: You are wrong! MGM Crazy Horse Vegas, has no relationship with Playboy. In fact The Palms tried to stop the show because of their relationship with Playboy in that town. The Bettie Page Store Chain had no relationship with Playboy when they pursued Sinclair due to what they described “Her Vintage Pin-up look” , and although Holly’s World” is associated with Playboy, it was her audition on a earlier TV show – “The Bunny House” which was not picked up due to Hef’s refusal to give in to the E! Channels request to “Raunchy it Up” (ie “Bad Girls Club”) – that had producers wanting her for “Holly’s World”.
Regarding her Ex, Marston Hefner (Hef’s Son): The word around the Playboy Mansion is the Spoiled Ass dumped Sinclair, because he wanted to be single when he went back to college, and he already regrets it. Their break up has nothing to do with PMOY.
You have the balls to cry “Unfair”, but everyone who really knows the facts, knows that your false allegations are littered with obvious biased misquotes and your poorly researched theories.
The facts are that the PMOY voting is NOT an official Vote that counts for anything, and PLAYBOY has been upfront in stating that for YEARS! Hef himself has said in SEVERAL interviews (and even TODAY on his twitter) that HE and he alone picks the PMOY based on what HE perceives as Beauty and Star Power.
Hef has said the PMOY voting has influenced his decision in some years, but not always. Most everyone knows it comes down to who HE wants to rep Playboy, – it’s no secret that you’ve just scooped to the world.
I won’t sit here and pretend that I myself am not Biased, I, to a certain degree, know Claire, and even some people at the Playboy Mansion, so I have to admit that I am rooting for her in her career, so there it is.
The question I have now is: Who are you? and who are you really pulling for? Will you post an honest reply, or will you not even be man enough to post this reply?
You said; “they don’t event post the leaders or results”. Then why is Robin Leach saying Claire is in first place? Where is he getting this info from and why is he saying it? Clearly he’s doing it to build the public perception that Claire is the favorite when she is, in fact, not. What does Robin Leach gain from saying this, not once, but twice in print, unless he’s being paid to do so? And if you don’t think for a second that many extra doors where opened up for Claire due to her special relationship with the Hefners then you’re a fool.
I’m rooting for any one of the 11 girls who was lied to and duped into believing that the fans’ votes actually mattered. Clearly you’re not grasping the point. Why ask fans to vote if Hefner is going to make a decision before a single vote is cast? Why let the fans and the 11 other Playmates think that voting is part of the PMOY process?? Why can’t Hef simply say that he and he alone decides without all this voting bullshit? If you go onto Twitter or Facebook you will see that most of the eleven girls have worked their asses off to garner votes. They’ve done interviews, talked to fans, radio shows, and a lot of other leg work for the last two months because they actually thought they had a shot at PMOY. None of them got paid to do that work. They all did it in the hopes of furthering their careers. But clearly they should have realized that if you sleep with the bosses’ son you get PMOY handed to you without having to do an ounce of work.
Call me crazy, but in my mind, Hef should at least wait until the votes have been cast, AND THEN decide who he wants as PMOY from the top three. That seems fair to me. What he shouldn’t do is select the PMOY before two of the girl’s issues are even published. But hey, call me naive. I will say this though. IF Claire does indeed get the title, she will be one of the most unpopular Playmates of the Year ever.
Anyway, it seems we have quite the difference of opinion, so my conversation with you ends here.
Ive seen all the playmates every month, and Im not trying to bash this Claire girl, but she is 19, def not the best looking in the bunch, and what has she possibly done in 1 month (being miss Oct) to get Hefs vote in November besides bedding his son. What has this young girl done so great that these other women have not done. I am a voter too, and its sad that none of our votes count because this Claire is not anyones favorite. All that work 4 nothing because its rigged.
I have been a loyal and long time fan of Playboy, and yearly follow the women vying for the title of PMOY. I have to say I have read this article, and find it to be very disturbing (and even feel betrayed on some level). It should go to the woman most deserving: one that would represent the brand well. She is by far not the best candidate or even the most attractive woman out of the twelve, and nepotism is never warranted in a contest of this magnitude. I predict major back lash if Claire Sinclair is chosen.
With out Hef’s “stupid fans” as you say, Playboy would not be what it is today. This magazine and whole image is about sexy, talented WOMEN….not little girls. This girl Claire can’t even market for playboy. Hef just did a new vodka with Stoli….she can’t even be photographed with liquor because she is underage. This little girl has nothing to offer what Playboy fans want. And by the way, she only got those gigs because shes got Hef pushing her. Holly’s World…hmmmmmmmm, wonder how she got that one.
Uh, what happened to Hef’s good taste? The old man is losing it. Claire Sinclair is no way the hottest woman to appear in Playboy this year. She’s below average in my book.
@ pmoyisrigged:
I’m interested to see what the response would be if this was posted on the Playboy Facebook page. That page has over 100,000 followers …..
… and nice research, by the way.
Claire Sinclair totally deserves the PMOY title. It amazes me how little people actually know, and how much BS they conceive. If you google Claire’s name, at just 19 years old she has done more than all the other Playmates, and a ton of pictures and news comes up on her – when you google most of the other Playmatyes, little to nothng comes up. If Playboy is smart they will crown her PMOY because she will take that title and fly with it just like she did with her opportunity as Playmate of the month, unlike all 11 other girls who pretty much did nothing with that amazing opportunity. Claire Sinclair shines like a star and I know she will make it further than Playboy. And this whole article is ridiculous. PMOY voting is Rigged? DUH! The voting is nothing more than an aid to help Hef who HE wants to crown PMOY. If he made that descsion long ago, so be it, that is not a crime. It is his company, his choice, bottom line. Marston Hefner publicly decided to break up with Claire so that he can persue school, and she can persue her career – it was not a manipulated plot that had anything to do with PMOY. People are so jealous and full of hatred. It amazes me how people have nothing better to do than make up silly storys like “I heard so and so say this” with no credit, proof, or merrit. So tacky. Claire Sinclair deserves this title HANDS DOWN, fan or not, it’s so obvious. I hope she does get it, and if she does not, then in that case surely something fishy is going on.
Seriously, who is supposed to give a shit about your opinion after your crawled that far up Claire’s ass? You’re not providing any valid counterpoint if you thought that’s what you did. Any of the girls would love getting the title, who the hell are you to say Claire deserves it the most and HAS to get it?
Do you even realize how retarded it is to complain about a post that says the vote is rigged for Claire to win by claiming that if Claire doesn’t win something is fishy? If she doesn’t win, this whole blog is BS anyway and if she does win, well then it only proves the point.
The last three PMOY’s (where especially the last two seem fishy) have used their win for a small popularity boost but have done nothing of note with their title and thanked the fans by never posing nude again afterward and if that’s what crowning the best self-promoter is all about then I can only say “no thank you”.
I knew that playmate of the year is rigged! playmate of the year Hope D. did not deserve to win because she is rude and thinks herself as god. I have met her plenty of times and was truly disappointed in Hef’s decision making on crowning her PMOY. I also had a hunch that Clair S. would take the crown this year solely because in fact she is dating Marston…do you think that if she wasn’t dating him she would be crowned? I don’t think so! Hef needs open his old senile eyes for a change… he is engaged to an even worse nut-job than holly was in a little over a year? give me a break! Holly spent 7 years with Hef and all he gave her was a slap in the face by getting engaged to this twat Crystal. Whomever thinks Crystal is playmate material needs to get their eyes checked and stop lying to themselves!
In all honesty Claire is WAY more Cybergirl material than Playmate. And don’t you find it ironic that she and Marston are no longer together now that PMOY voting was near and now it’ll be over with tonight/tomorrow and now she’s appearing on Holly’s show sometime this season. I didn’t pay Claire any attention during this year but I expect a major backlash against her
I will say this, Claire Sinclare…(by the way is not her real name) has NOT done more than all the other girls. Case and point……..Jaime Edmondson!!! She was a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader for 6 years, a police officer for 2 years, has a bachelors degree in criminal justice, was on the Amazing Race twice, was picked to be on Trace Adkins video, picked for the Stoli Vodka ad and commercial with Hef, and many other accomplishments. But most of all she did something last year called Sweethearts for Soldiers. Jaime took her own time, did not get paid, and went to hostile war zones overseas to raise the spirits of out troops and give them morale. THAT IS WHAT A PMOY SHOULD BE ABOUT!!! Not about being on some bimbo’s show or some stupid fashion line. You can do that crap all day, but if you do not give back it does not matter! JAIME EDMONDSON ALL THE WAY!!!! PLUS SHES AT THE TOP OF THE VOTE AND SHE IS A REAL WOMAN!!!!!
You’re not kidding anyone: This blog is nothing more than just classic “Sore Loser Propaganda” by you – Jaime Edmondson! You are a manipulative witch who can’t stand losing Jaime. Everyone whose read this garbage (Thanks to your Twitter Spam Blast) knows this is such obvious desperation, – it’s laughable!
Why is it okay for you to say that you, (Jamie) are in first place in the PLOY voting, but when Robin Leach says the same thing about Claire Sinclair, it must be rigged?
The truth is no one really knows but Hef, and he’ll probably never tell, (because HIS vote is the ONLY one that really counts) so why do EXACTLY what you’re accusing others of – lying about who is in the lead for PMOY? You quote unofficial polls on other blogs? What does that have to do with the actual PMOY voting? I can play that same game:
I just did a poll in my neighborhood, and Claire Sinclair won the PLOY vote 1,789,053 to ZERO, and now she’s also WAY ahead in the official PLOY voting in a landslide – up by 92% over the second place contender.
If you’re gonna throw the BS, why not go all out with it like I just did? The truth is, you can’t discount my BS, anymore than I can yours. You know there’s NO WAY anyone can know who’s really in the lead for PMOY vote, – it could be any of the 12 – (Yes, even Claire) – so why write this garbage? I’ll answer that for you: It’s because – like I said, You’re a Manipulative Witch Jamie Edmondson!
Uh-hu, so Jaime Edmondson, one of the girls who has done the most PR work for Playboy last year had nothing better to do than to start an anonymous “smear campaign” on twitter? God, you’re an even bigger tool than Ken up there. If you hate Jaime that much, that’s your own problem but don’t pretend she has anything to do with this.
Also, it’s PMOY. What the fuck is PLOY supposed to be? Have you ever seen Playboy use that abbreviation? Oh and guess what, linking polls that can be looked up by anyone online to see for themselves are not the same as making up BS polls of people you talked about. You moron.
I agree with you Rapax!!!!!!!!!!! John Simms, you sound like a relative or Clare Sinclaire herself. You are taking this thing very personal and apparently hating Jaime Edmondson because it is obvious she has done the most work for playboy (being that she was miss January) and she is older and has more under her belt than Claire. The only thing your girl Claire has on her belt is notches from banging Hef’s son to get to the top. This is a site for voters who feel jipped that Claire was handed this despite our votes, not some place for Claire’s friends and family to whine and blame other playmates. Your upset because Claire has not done a damn thing to win it and can’t even do work for Playboy because she is under age. You have zero point…….and GO JAIME EDMONDSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J.S. Calling Jaime Edmondson names and blaming her for this site (which is ridiculous) does not change the fact that she no doubt has done the most work and has more fans than Claire. Jaime was miss January, she had almost the whole year to market herself and work with Playboy, it makes no sense that Hef picked Claire in November if she was the Playmate a month before. That means she would not have had time to do anything to get that vote. I am a soldier, and I appreciate the time and effort on Jaime’s end to take time out of her life, not get paid, to come overseas and raise our morale. She has always expressed how important the military men and women are to her, and that is so much more than what Claire has done. GO JAIME!!!!!
Thats sooo funny! Everyone knows by now that this site was created by Jamie & her few friends who are jealous of Claire!!!! You keep talking about how Jamie is in the lead for PMOY, but I say Claire is in the lead and Jamie in dead last place!!!! You people are so full of shit. You use your theories to suit your self, however, there is no way in the world you can validate your bullshit claims that Jamie is winning. I hope what you are saying is true, and Claire wins, but even if she doesn’t, I hope to God ANYONE EXCEPT JAIME EDMONDSON gets it! Everyone I know, hates that kiss ass, manipulative bitch, and if Playboy were to play into her games, and let her win PMOY, there would be MAJOR backlash from tons of Playboy fans! Your lying manipulative bullshit is not working with anyone Jamie Edmondson, so give it up and reside to the fact that you are an old washed up fake looser! Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!! Go Claire Sinclair!!!! or anyone other than Jamie Edmondson for PMOY!!!
I see you’re trying to cement your status as biggest tool.
Maybe you live in an alternate universe, but just because you’re foaming at the mouth while typing does not make it readily apparent, as you seem to think, that Jaime Edmondson is behind any of this. I would ask you for proof or really anything at all that would suggest Jaime Edmondson has something to do with this, but I fear it would be in vain.
Also, saying that “everyone you know” hates Jaime probably means very little after you had suggested earlier that you don’t know the difference between a real poll and the ones you make up in your head, such as the “neighborhood poll”. So I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume that “everyone you know” is really just you and perhaps your pet hamster named Claire.
I’ve heard about Claire winning PMOY even before this blog appeared and if she does win, it’s only going to validate that rumor. Then people will realize that it’s not just popularity or mere coincidence.
Also, don’t kid yourself over any kind of backlash, I don’t think your hamster knows how to use the internet. Playboy fans for the most part don’t give a shit who wins except for a tiny minority voicing their opinion online but that’s “backlash” in the same way that 10 people refuse to see Transformers 3.
Well seeing as Hef himself tweeted that He DOES, and always has picked the PMOY. Apparently you paying your dollars just HELPS him make his choice.
What made you decide Jaime was behind this site? Why, if so, would other Playmates on twitter, that are also in this fisticuffs that is the PMOY race?
Btw, are you really suggesting that getting on Holly Madison’s show on E! is really living the dream? That the exposure she’d get from that show seals her place in the firmament of celebrity? I tried to watch a bit of Kendra last year, but went back to watching a raindrop run down the window. It was more gripping, and much better TV.
In theory, PMOY goes to the most popular person, but you have to bear in mind that PEI won’t give their 100K to Miss Popular, if that meant the promo work for PEI and sponsors is done by a complete numbnuts.
You said, “In theory, PMOY goes to the most popular person, but you have to bear in mind that PEI won’t give their 100K to Miss Popular, if that meant the promo work for PEI and sponsors is done by a complete numbnuts.”
I say, See former PMOY, Anna Nicole Smith – the ultimate crazy
no-talent “Complete Numnuts”!
Obviously Playboy has to pick the most suitable candidate but quite frankly, ANY Playmate should be suitable or else she shouldn’t have been given that title in the first place.
The point is, any of the 12 girls should theoretically be suitable for the title or there have been some serious mistakes in the selection process to begin with. Not every girl will be popular and not every girl will be able to handle the job as well as others, but if I’m looking at past selections, that can’t really be the deciding factor.
Has anyone heard of Ida Ljungqvist again after her PMOY win? No? There you have it. How she supposedly represented Playboy best during her reign is beyond me, but I suppose having a black PMOY coincide with Obama’s election was just too tempting to pass up on.
Similar with Hope Dworaczyk. I’m sure she’s doing “something” but again I fail to see what kind of special representation or value she added to Playboy as a company. Especially when you had a very popular girl like Jessica Burciaga who had worked her way up from Promo model/GoGo Dancer to internet fan favorite. A girl who loves the spotlight and is constantly shooting new stuff and doing a Playmate Xtra very soon. Don’t expect any Xtra from Hope anytime soon.
Quite frankly, the only PMOY in recent years actually adding anything to Playboy is Sara Jean Underwood who continues to remain THE most popular and visible Playmate of the last 6 years.
Granted Diesel jeans weren’t exactly the equivalent or GAP or Levi over here, but as ANS already had the contract with them before getting PMOY, I’d say that AT THE TIME, she was pretty sorted at the time.
A bit bigger than an appearance on a reality cable show on a network that seems stocked with nothing BUT reality shows. Tell me, does Holly feature any ‘tradesmen’ in her show following her life? If so, and they’re pretty and female, where can we suggest they become PMOM? Then, it’d be guaranteed to be PMOY, right?
???WHAT?????
I can’t comprehend most of what you wrote?
Perhaps it’s do to some kind Continental gap where things get lost in translation.
Where are you from Mr. Short?
PS – Wasn’t it Guess Jeans?
So sorry, mi inglish no so good. I speel colour with a U coz I is edukated.
Ok, to translate into language that u might get. ……
Diesel/Guess jeans contract was apparently a big deal. Means bugger all over here, apparently to our colonial cousins, its big. My guess is they would not have chosen Anna Nicole Smith (ANS) to be their pinup girl, if she had those demons she had in later life, at that stage in her career.
E! is, as far as I can see a channel about vacuous celebs like Cardassians, Borgs and romulans. Quite how big a break it is that Clair got a part in a reality tv show about a former girlfriend of Hef’s who is living and working in Vegas, whilst Clair is also living and working in Vegas, especially as it’s a so-called ‘reality’ show. Hmm, so the show would feature friends and business associates of Holly as she does he daily chores. One might suspect, therefore, that were Clair a friend/business associate of Holly’s and happened to have got a job in Vegas, then she might drop in on occasion. If getting a spot on a reality show somehow made you PMOY worthy, how many girls on GND that got tested during an episode, will get PMOY? I guess all of them, by that logic.
If I recall correctly, Kayla Collins has her own swimwear range, and has appeared for 2 weeks almost nightly on one of the UK’s biggest channels, in one of that channels biggest tv shows of the year, after X Factor and other Simon Cowell productions. NOT a walk on part on a reality show on a network of reality shows thats on cable.
The number of layouts Ms Edmundson seems to have done, is more than Clair. Ok so Clair had a guest spot at Crazy Horse. Probably helped a bit of cross-brand promotion for both sides. Who knows if she’d have her amazing role in Hollys thing if she wasn’t doing that job? Would she even be in Vegas if she wasn’t at Crazy Horse?
How many PMOMs were featured during the GND period that flitted in/out of the Mansion? Did any of those get PMOY because of their ‘featured’ role?
It’s not the fact that Jaime Edmondson has more “layouts” than anyone else, I won’t research, or even dispute that. It’s the fact that every Mansion insider who knows about this Playboy/Claire Bashing blog knows Jaime Edmondson is behind it, and it’s just another reason to despise her.
I could be wrong Mr. Short, but you seem to be an authentic REAL fan, and so I respect your right to your opinion, even if I might not agree with it, – HOWEVER, anyone with half a brain knows that pmoyisrigged, Rapax, ALLTHATWORK4NOTHING, Urban_Cowboy, Otis, jordan, BTCOOL, and Tron, are all just Jaime, and another Jaime Edmondson manipulation plot.
Edmondson did the classic “Stick your nose up the ass of the boss” routine, when she befriended Crystal Harris (Heff’s Girfriend) and she’s done sooo many despicable manipulative things throughout the year, that nearly everyone hates her and her “Former Cop Power Trip” personality. She’s such a dislikable backstabbing bitch that most regulars stay away from the mansion when they know she’ll be there.
Normally I wouldn’t waste my time responding to an obviously self serving inaccurate blog, (On WorldPress.com, where 3 people may have seen it) but when I noticed that she blasted this blog to dozens of people who may not know the facts, I had to enlighten them to the truth (Read my above prior post for details).
Jaime wants you to believe that she somehow is the only one in the world who KNOWS she is in the lead with the most votes for PMOY, but it’s rigged so she can’t win. – Poor Jaime has been done wrong again!
The bottom line: Don’t play into Jaime Edmondson’s Evil Mind Games!
ANYONE except Jaime Edmondson for 2011 PMOY!
