Boy, I think Playboy magazine is beginning to relax its hotness standards just a tiny little bit, and you can't imagine how sad that thought makes me. I mean, really - despite playing for the opposite side (you know, being an iconic male landmark and so on), Playboy is one of the magazines which accounts for my friends and I having a lot of fun while not actually enjoying the purely sexually explicit part. So, imagine my... let's call it surprise when I came across these shots of Maria Kanellis celebrating the fact that she was allowed to spread them for Playboy and make us girls all jealous because, you know, she's got the moves and the boobs and the magazine cover. So, kudos to her - and from my part, I was actually ready to allow myself to be entertained by Maria here - only trouble is, it seems that this month's playmate is still in need of some extra grooming.

And when I say grooming, I mean showing a little bit of razor loving to her armpit, or else stop flashing it around Beyoncé-style. Not that we mind too much, but I for once used to have a better opinion of WWE Divas, especially one with Maria's potential for showing off her fierce charms in various compromising and less compromising circumstances. So, as I was saying, Maria looks quite thrilled to have exposed her charms for the entire world to see, and we're in turn happy she overcame her initial shyness and agreed to step in her predecessor's footprints and pose naked herself. And still, I can't quite get over the unshaved 'pit. Is that a pre-requisite for Playboy launch parties? Someone tell me, because I just don't know anymore.

The unshaven pit is one thing, the bloody elbow is quite a separate issue. I thought ladies (even former female wrestlers) who come out to promote their own naked spreads - in other words, convince people to part with their hard-earned cash for a glimpse of their charms - usually had to be a little more careful when leaving the house. And by careful, I mean "check their elbows for sores and scrapes", "shave" and "check if you're wearing enough clothes to look half decent". And I'm afraid Maria failed two out of three demands, which makes me think - am I being too pretentious by any chance?
