Holly Madison Resigns From 'Playboy' Editor Position
Posted on 05. Feb, 2009 by CSS in Celeb Blogs, Entertainment
Holly Madison has resigned from her position as Playboy Magazine’s resident Playmate Editor.
The 29-year-old one-time girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner sets the record straight on why she’s severing her ties with the men’s mag in an entry posted on her MySpace page on Wednesday night.
“I quit for several reasons,” Holly began.
“One: I moved to Vegas, and that job doesn’t pay enough to make a commute worthwhile….I never cared about the salary when I got the job. I made my money doing Girls Next Door, and I did the job because I loved it.”
Holly says she no longer found the task of finding the beauties to pose for Playboy “challenging.”
“It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved.”
She added, “So as you can imagine, when one is trying to move on with their life, it isn’t beneficial to spend so much time on something that doesn’t pay much and, sadly enough, is no longer rewarding to you.”
“But I loved my job while I had it, appreciate the opportunity and the experience greatly, and wish whoever takes my place the best,” Holly wrote, before signing off for the night with “Love-Holly.”
Holly Madison is currently dating Vegas-based illusionist Criss Angel.
Update* Holly has since removed the post in which she talked about her leaving Playboy, not sure why…
