Portugal

I have a far ideia of Hugh Hefner, not a lot of information come to Portugal about The Hef on the everyday news. What I could imagine is that was a very rich man, flippant and chic. Playboy magazine becomes popular in Portugal, more for the models pictures that are inside than for the articles and jokes. Playboy it’s a sucess business project, recently (maybe ten years ago), I think Playboy aquired a Portuguese personality with articles, and models from Portugal – Hugh team have change “the product”, to gain more space on the nacional market magazine.
