Vuolo's |
Vuolo's family was Jewish from Hungary and Italy. She was a Communications major at [[Indiana University of Pennsylvania]]. In 1999 she went on a two-week exchange program in Israel, and describes her experience at the [[Western Wall]] as a profoundly emotional and transformative one for her.<ref name=Lifestyle/> |

Prior to her posing for ''[[Playboy]]'', Vuolo had been working two jobs as a cocktail waitress to pay for college when a friend and coworker suggested sending in photos to the magazine. Despite Vuolo's belief that she was not "''Playboy'' material", Vuolo, whose only modeling experience at that point was posing for a local swimsuit calendar, eventually told her coworker that she could send in photos of her if she wanted. After ''Playboy'' contacted Vuolo in early 2001, she flew to [[Los Angeles]] without telling her parents. She was photographed at the magazine's [[Santa Monica, California|Santa Monica]] studios while sharing a bedroom at the [[Playboy Mansion]] with Christi Shake, ''Playboy'''s Miss May 2002 and one of [[Hugh Hefner]]'s seven girlfriends at the time. After returning home and informing her mother of her recent activities, Hefner invited her back to the mansion for his 75th birthday party that April.<ref name=Lifestyle/> |

Vuolo's pictorial appeared in the November 2001 issue of ''Playboy''. Some have incorrectly claimed that Vuolo is the first Jewish [[Playboy Playmate|Playmate]]. Vuolo herself has agreed it is more likely that she merely is the first ''openly'' Jewish Playmate. Photos of her 1994 [[bat mitzvah]] ceremony at age 13 were included in her pictorial. The fact that she attended [[synagogue]] while she was active with ''Playboy'' led to a fair amount of media attention, including an interview with columnist [[Shmuley Boteach]], who criticized Vuolo for her pictorial, and argued that she was exploited by ''Playboy'', and that it and pornography in general dehumanizes women, and could lead to things like rape and spousal violence. Boteach paralleled the effects of pornography on men's perception of women with [[Slavery in the United States|American slavery]] and [[The Holocaust]]. Vuolo challenged this view, saying that ''Playboy'' is not pornography, and that her experience with the magazine was one of expansion of her career opportunities, and not exploitation.

Lindsey Eve (Vuolo) Handrinos (born October 19, 1981)[1] is an American glamor model and actress best known for her appearance in Playboy as the November 2001 Playmate of the Month. She has appeared in a number of Playboy Special Editions, and in Playboy videos. She also appeared on TV shows such as The Girls Next Door and The Celebrity Apprentice.
Early life
[edit]Vuolo's family was Jewish from Hungary and Italy. She was a Communications major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 1999 she went on a two-week exchange program in Israel, and describes her experience at the Western Wall as a profoundly emotional and transformative one for her.[2]
Career
[edit]Prior to her posing for Playboy, Vuolo had been working two jobs as a cocktail waitress to pay for college when a friend and coworker suggested sending in photos to the magazine. Despite Vuolo's belief that she was not "Playboy material", Vuolo, whose only modeling experience at that point was posing for a local swimsuit calendar, eventually told her coworker that she could send in photos of her if she wanted. After Playboy contacted Vuolo in early 2001, she flew to Los Angeles without telling her parents. She was photographed at the magazine's Santa Monica studios while sharing a bedroom at the Playboy Mansion with Christi Shake, Playboy's Miss May 2002 and one of Hugh Hefner's seven girlfriends at the time. After returning home and informing her mother of her recent activities, Hefner invited her back to the mansion for his 75th birthday party that April.[2]
Vuolo's pictorial appeared in the November 2001 issue of Playboy. Some have incorrectly claimed that Vuolo is the first Jewish Playmate. Vuolo herself has agreed it is more likely that she merely is the first openly Jewish Playmate. Photos of her 1994 bat mitzvah ceremony at age 13 were included in her pictorial. The fact that she attended synagogue while she was active with Playboy led to a fair amount of media attention, including an interview with columnist Shmuley Boteach, who criticized Vuolo for her pictorial, and argued that she was exploited by Playboy, and that it and pornography in general dehumanizes women, and could lead to things like rape and spousal violence. Boteach paralleled the effects of pornography on men's perception of women with American slavery and The Holocaust. Vuolo challenged this view, saying that Playboy is not pornography, and that her experience with the magazine was one of expansion of her career opportunities, and not exploitation. Vuolo's membership in her college sorority was also revoked as a result of her pictorial.[2][3]
Vuolo has starred in several Playboy features and was a recurring model for several years in Playboy's special edition magazines, such as Voluptuous Vixens.
