Playboy Centerfold is Former Guitar Hero P.R. Rep
Playboy Centerfold is Former Guitar Hero P.R. Rep
October 25, 2008
To my great surprise there was a plain brown envelope from Playboy Enterprises International in the GamePolitics post office box yesterday. Inside was the November issue.
After about three hours of perusing the magazine (in the interests of giving GP readers a complete and accurate report), I figured out the reason why Playboy sent the mag my way.
It seems that Miss November, Grace Kim, is a former publicist for Guitar Hero publisher Activision. The brief bio which accompanies her centerfold pictorial discusses her connection to the game:
I play a mean game of Guitar Hero and I'm willing to challenge anybody. I must warn you I'm a very sore loser - at any game...
Grace says her ideal date is a round of Guitar Hero or Rock Band with perks.
Kotaku has a lengthy interview with Grace:
I had heard of an opening to work directly with the head director of Guitar Hero, so I applied, and I didn't think I'd get the job because there were so many applicants... but I also had a lot of PR experience. I was really blessed that they brought me on board. I think they appreciated my passion...
"Activision was getting annoyed [over the time demands of the Playboy picture shoots], and I wanted to keep my job [at first]... But my boss wasn't happy and I wasn't happy, and being a Playmate is a job. I really wanted to explore that area, and see where this path would take me. And, working so much for Activision kind of killed my love a little for Guitar Hero.

Alyric: The leaked information proves these organizations knowingly defrauded governments (i.e., taxpayers) out of billions of dollars. Yet there will probably never be a trial.

Oh...that is just SO wrong lol

hahah
she is damn hot though!
agreed, she's quite cute for her age

Honestly it look like it would work better for the photo anyways. You can tell it's a controller, but it still has that "could be a guitar" look. And the black & white design fits better with her clothes, without trying to fight for attention with added colors. And yes, I do work with Photoshop jobs on the side so I tend to think of these things lol. I also just noticed the Rock Band drums in the background...so it could also just be a nice "FU" to Activision since she left.

She explains it in a Myspace blog entry that I just found. Not hard to find either.
That was a joke. Ha.
sorry...
Because she actually says that she likes Rock Band more than Guitar Hero.
Was that the only picture? :P
LOL Probably the only one he could post without being labelled as a 'Pornographer' by certain unemployed people ;)
I play guitar hero 2 anyday with her, I play a mean combo o that cheap trick band song i like.
Didn't she used to be in the WWE as well? I think she came in about the time I stopped watching.
Also: I have serious doubts as to the validity of your source, can you put up a scanned PDF for "verification"?
That was Gail Kim, also Korean but from Canada. Apparently on her way back to WWE.
SWEET! USDA select 100% pure unadulterated feminine beauty at its finest!
A little teaser for everyone: - zapped -
GP: the link was a bit much. I think we can see by the picture on the front page that Grace is an attractive woman.

:O
You might have wanted to add a NSFW tag to that.
Sorry about that. I forget to do stuff like that often since I'm the boss at work.
@GP - For what it is worth, I dont think linking to the source material is "a bit much" to be honest. It is no different than any other story you covered and have referenced direct and germane sources as well as supporting information sites. For example the court documents for JT's hearing.
Just because the topic is related to the human form does not change the nature of journalistic principles. Yes I did not put a NSFW notice initially - a social grace if you will, but other than that I don’t believe I was in error.

Lucky me. I got a FUKKEN SAVED on that one XD.
There's a link that probably won't stay for long. Bookmarked it anyway, cheers
Can I have the link then ... please?

Right right right, just like I went through hundreds of old penthouse magazines so I could get a better understanding of the people vs. larry flynt. You know for purely an academic point of view.

I'd let her work my fret board. GiggityGiggityGiggity! lol guitar humor, gota' love it.
Oh no! They are biting him... and stealing his pants!
Is that Halo in the background? And Tiger Woods 09?
Being a Playmate isn't a 'job', you whore.
Damn! That is pretty harsh and very wrong. Being a model is being a model. She is not making sex movies and even if she was that is her business.

Really? So how do you put that down on a résumé, exactly? "Well, I can hold my pussy open with one hand while making an 'Oooh!' face, and I can also fondle my tits while making a 'You want some of this?' face."?
Obliviously you are a person with issues regarding gender and sex. Consequently I shall not waste anymore time responding to your pedantic & prudish - nay, childish viewpoint. Any discussion will likely fall on deaf ears and I don’t have time to squander on people like you.

And yet you bothered to respond at all.
Golly, you sure showed me, champ.
Damn, halfshadow why you going around posting rude and un-nessacary comments, seriously come back when you stop acting like a jack ass.
