Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction
Kilrah_il writes "When the Apollo 12 crew left Earth for a trip to the Moon, they did not know that the ground crew hid a surprise in one of the command module lockers: a calendar photo of Playboy Playmate DeDe Lind. Now this card is offered for auction, after being kept in the personal collection of command module pilot Richard Gordon, who added the following memo: 'This is to certify that the accompanying 4.5" x 6.25" cue card did, indeed, accompany me on my trip to the moon in the Command Module Yankee Clipper aboard the historic Apollo 12 lunar landing mission. This cue card, which flew with me to the moon, has been in my sole possession and part of my personal space collection since my return from the moon in 1969 aboard America's second lunar landing mission, and it remains one of the all-time greatest Apollo era astronaut "Gotcha's!"' For those interested, the minimum bid is $1000." Warning, contains pixelated nudity.
To the younger generations who are easily corrupted by things like the hot coffee mod, pixelated nudity is even more dangerous than clear unfiltered nudity.
Oh noes! Why, somebody might be confronted with their Puritannical objection to the human form. What'rewegonnado?!?!?!
That must suck to be such a walking contradiction. Go ahead and reconcile these two things: "I believe in a Creator God who is perfect in every way and therefore made us as he intended us to be" and "The human form is indecent, shameful, and must be covered up at all times or I will get very offended and butthurt and raise a lot of drama." That's Puritanism for you.
Course the easily offended need to fuck off no matter why they're easily offended. This particular one though is different from your run-of-the-mill easily offended person who's just a pansy.

It could just be a trend in playboy. I've heard they shifted away from girls who looked "next door" to more glamorous. Or was it the other way around? I can't remember, don't care enough to google it at work. And no playboy models, past or present, looked like girls who ever lived next door to me.
Another notable Playboy pinup is Nov. 1972's Lena Söderberg whos image has been used in an example in image processing papers since 1973.
You can't spell "pixelated nudity" without "nudity". And you can't put that in a Slashdot summary without slashdotting the site, it seems . . .
I am not a crackpot.
The number of women who will pose nude is widening, and hairy is 'out'.
Also, photography techniques have improved, and Playboy didn't really do an photo touch ups in 1969.

Is it just me or do women seem to have gotten prettier over the years?
Not to be rude or anything, but todays girls just seem cuter.
There are exceptions of course - but I spy a trend...
It could be just that styles change. But more likely that photoshop makes the airbrush look like stone knives and bear skins.
I am not a crackpot.
Beauty is cultural, and culture changes. It's hardly surprising that today's "prettiest" girls are prettier by today's standards than the "prettiest" girls from 50 years ago. I imagine the converse would be true too.
Apollo 12 was hit by lightning shortly after launch, causing quite a bit of concern for a few minutes (including a temporary drop-out of numerous onboard systems and instruments), but otherwise had a normal and highly successful lunar landing mission.

Being offended is a quick and easy power trip: it's a way to control other people.
"Oh I'm offended by your actions! And because I'm offended, YOU are the one that has to change their behavior! Because I can't be troubled to: turn off the TV, radio, computer; change channels or web page; not buy the book; etc.. And no, I am unable to monitor my children therefore; everyone else has to change their behavior just so my children don't see or hear anything that I may find offensive."

Well, there's more of them to choose from.
And women's standards for acceptable conduct have changed, so more of them consider standing in front of a camera for money an acceptable practice.
And technology for manipulating their looks, in makeup and exercise physiology and software, has improved.
And photographers have learned from decades of research by the pioneers of Playboy how to make someone look better than they generally do.
And women have learned from the same sources what men really like them to look like.
It's unlikely that the median or average have changed much. But the selection, presentation, and manipulation are much more refined.
As an example of presentation and manipulation, but not so much selection, I give you Katy Perry. With and without her cloaking device turned on.
As a professional care-troll, your lack of commitment to care-trolling offends me. Do you really expect anyone reading this pathetic attempt at trolling to believe you actually care about this issue? You, sir, bring disrepute upon the house of troll.

Playboy's golden age was in the 70s. Those women were usually stunning with or without the paint and airbrushing.
In the 90s something happened and the publishers started using less attractive women with a lot of cosmetic surgery and makeup applied, and manipulating them more.
Now, who reads Playboy any more? There's boobs in half the pages on the web, xkcd does the funny, rotten tomatoes handles the movies, and if you want to hear from Hef you can tweet him.
He was alone in lunar orbit for more than a full day while Conrad and Bean landed on the moon. If he took advantage of his solitude to "rub one out", he probably would have done so while on the far side of the moon, where his biomed telemetry couldn't be monitored by Houston. :)
His crewmates also had some porn stashed with them on the moon. Playboy images were inserted into the lunar surface checklists used during the moonwalks.

Nothing is more pleasurable than a woman with a shapely ass where the jeans cut in to show off each cheek. Jeans that bridge the butt crack are a crime.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Stop judging women based on movies and TV. Check out the midwest -- the average woman is 5'1" and overweight.
Have the women in Playboy and on TV gotten prettier and prettier? Yes, but it's no different than the trend of professional wrestlers becoming more and more muscular. Population has increased, new medical procedures/work-out practices are taken advantage of, and the cream of the crop is oh so much creamier. But that doesn't mean that normal looking people ceased to exist, nor does it mean that, in general, there are more cute girls today than thirty or forty years ago. In fact, I would argue the reverse is true: take a look at obesity statistics. As a percentage, there are less attractive people today than there were several decades ago, it's just that media pretends they don't exist.

Thinness is associated with *youth* and youth is a universal status symbol in a natural selection (breeding) context. The same criteria also explain the appeal of firmness (the "big" of big butts is about firmness and youth, not about size) and also somewhat explains the trend toward lack of hair.
-fb Everything not expressly forbidden is now mandatory.
Well, there's "big" as in "firm/youthful" and then there's "big" as in size 24. I don't think the latter is rooted in the same universal appeal as the former.

She's 64 now. Probably doesn't look the same.
Actually, anthropological studies show that men all over the world prefer a woman with a certain hip to waist ratio. The actual size of the woman is much less important than the fact that she has big hips relative to her waist. Culturally speaking, we may despise "fat" women and find them less desirable based on what others might think of them, but as long as she has a good hip to waist ratio, our cocks couldn't care less how fat she is.

That aside, this chick has a fat face and appears to be wearing a wig. Natural beauties with better features and hair that looks real were plentiful back then I'm sure. Maybe Hef could explain how she got to be in the magazine (wink).

You are not alone. 1966 through 1973 was a magical time. The sexual revolution was in full swing but the style was still natural, innocent and unconsciously sexual. There hasn't been anything like it since.

I agree, I think that the women of the 60's and 70's were much more attractive than the girls of the new millennium.
I expect it's something that is entirely subjective, and therefore not worth arguing about.

Mid sixties to mid seventies. Around about 1977 is when the centerfolds started becoming overproduced, with unnatural poses in unnatural colors. The unnatural bodies came a little later.
> In the 90s something happened and the publishers started using less attractive women with a lot of cosmetic surgery and makeup applied, and manipulating them more.
Yes. Besides that, the magazine itself was starting to deteriorate. Production values got cheaper, photos weren't registered correctly, print bled through the page from the other side. There was only the occasional striking photo, usually ruined in the print process. Having a nearly unbroken collection from 1954, (due to years of haunting old book stores) I finally got fed up and canceled my subscription in 1998.
Besides, it's all online now anyway. I sold my entire collection two years ago, never looked back. I only kept perhaps four or five issues, one of which, oddly enough, was August 1967, Dee Dee Lind.

Personally, I like real women, warts and... no, on second thought, I can do without the warts.
Nipples too pointy, TRIM IN HALF?!? No, no, no, just... no. Do not trim the nipples in half, please. I mean, they aren't, like, two inches long or an anything, right? Because, okay, if her nipples reach down to her waist, yeah, maybe trim those suckers.

That isn't true if you limit your sample size to 25 and younger, like Playboy does. Then it's more like 5'5" and normal weight.

>>>FLATTER butts?
Playboy auctioned-off some photos that included notes. One said, "Butt too big - flatten," while a different girl said "But too flat; make rounder". So it can go either way. --- They also had a very strange note on a third girl about "Nipple too pointy; trim in half." Personally I like pointy nipples so I don't know why the editors felt any reason to alter it, but whatever.
The end result is a photo of a woman that doesn't really exist. In contrast the old 1960s photo is a real person with virtually no alteration.

What? The 1960s girl looks cute to me (link below). Also it's worth noting today's playmates are not real and therefore not comparable. They are photoshopped to remove blemishes, expand breasts, erase fat knees, give them flatter butts, and so on. 60s women didn't have those advantages, so you're looking at the actual girl including her flaws:
