Holly Madison Quits Playboy

Holly Madison is going through some big changes in her life. First, The Girls Next Door star left Hefner, moved out of the Mansion and fell in love with Criss Angel. Now she’s done with Playboy altogether as she quit her Playmate Editor gig. She blogged on her Celebrity MySpace page on Wednesday: “I quit for several reasons- 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.”

“It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved,” adding that working with Hef “was awkward. Not that anyone tried to make it awkward or didn’t treat me fairly…it just was.
It annoys me when people call the job fake, as if it was just a set up for the show. If I had wanted a fake career for Girls Next Door, I would have stuck with the jewelry line because that required very little of my time.  I spent way more than full time directing shoots, editing, making mock layouts and approving retouching.
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.  Love-Holly.”, she added.
A proper farewell is in order so here’s some black & white Holly Madison lingerie pictures from the time she was Hugh Hefner’s dearest!
