IU students strut their stuff at Playboy auditions

Personalities weren’t the only perky things at Bloomington’s Fairfield Inn on Monday and Tuesday. \nPlayboy magazine held auditions for its “Girls of the Big 10” issue, which is due to hit newsstands in May.\n“We’ll probably see a total of about 100 girls,” said Eden Orfanos, a producer for Playboy magazine. “Unfortunately, we can only take 12.”\nAmong the 100 women were two roommates, sophomores Megan Yapo and Casey Miller, who said they thought trying out would be fun.\n“We’re kind of using this as a bonding experience,” Miller said.\nThe women were asked to fill out biographical information while they waited to be photographed. Some flipped through previous issues of Playboy that featured college girls while others chatted about the pictorials, saying the photographs were beautifully done. \nAfter waiting for their turns, the women were called one by one into an adjoining hotel room to undress and be photographed.\n“My parents don’t know I’m doing this,” Yapo said, laughing. “They would probably just ask me if I had to work out beforehand.”\n- For more coverage see Wednesday's Indiana Daily Student
