SHANNON AND THE FINE ART OF MERCHANDISING


Attention Collectors:

Playboy will be releasing wine with classic playmates from the 60’s-70’s on their labels. Although this is amuzing, the wine inside the bottle will actually be some good stuff, including Schug and St. Supery.

This grabbed my attention because of, what I’ve seen, the explosion of pin-ups in the market. Along with the wine Marilyn Merlot, you can hardly watch TV without catching a glimpse of “The Girls Next Door”, Pamela Anderson’s TV show, LA Ink (which exposes a non-traditional pin-up girl), and most recently, Kate Hudson posing as a pin-up in see-through mesh. It’s a pin-up phenomenon!

In case anyone is interested, we may be able to get our hands on some of these exclusive wines…maybe they would make a nice birthday present, with the playmate of your birth year wrapped around the bottles. As the Spectator cheekily commented, maybe a full-bodied red is just what you’ve always wanted.
