“Playboy is hoping to entice some of the women who lost their shirts in the Enron scandal to reveal a little bit more,” Arizona Central is reporting.

“The magazine is putting together a ‘Women of Enron’ pictorial and is inviting employees past and present to send snapshots of themselves in bikinis if they wish to pose.”

‘That’s rich,’ said Deborah DeFforge, co-chairwoman of the Severed Enron Employees Coalition. ‘We’ve had so much depressing news or stressful news, and then to all of a sudden come up with something like that, it’s kind of cute.’

DeFforge said she would not pose, but added: ‘I’m sure there are some in the younger set who would be perfect.’

Ummm. Frumpy and depressed former office workers slathered in oil… What a time to let my subscription lapse, huh?
