We’re talking about Club 939 and Playboy so obviously an NSFW warning is warranted.

Imagine a television show highlighting a bevy of Bunnies, their bums bared, partaking in extreme sports. That’s badass, as in Playboy TV’s BADASS, and the latest season starts off in Hawaii:

Sure the Big Island may look like a relaxing paradise, but beyond the sandy beaches and Mai Tais lurk some insanely dangerous obstacles. Waitâ€ll you see one of our gorgeous thrillseekers jump topless from a 30 foot cliff! Or break out the boards for some ridiculously rough curls! And donâ€t even get us started on the shark stuff.

Would you want to meet the cast of BADASS? It’s simple really. Head on over to Club 939 and be an (unpaid) extra for on-location filming. All you gotta do is act like a regular (badass) customer. Who knows what the Playmates of BADASS will be doing at the Club, not skydiving of course.

the only magazine propelling an entrepreneurial generation toward positive social and creative action within our communities through a thoughtful cultivation of dialogue and a strong commitment to quality of design.

One of the articles I found interesting was “Women’s Work: From Strippers to Madams.” This article gives a “glimpse at Honolulu’s skin industry from World War II to today” and incorporates subject matter knowledge from an Ivy League educated, Government and Economics major who also minored in Asian Studies. Some of the better takeaways:

I think there is a cultural tradition of acceptance of hostess bars, probably coming from a mixture of the geisha traditions in Japan and sex work in Southeast Asia brought back by the military.

One major reason why mama-sans in Hawaii exist is pure economics. This type of job is one that requires no education, and no background check, and of course can be very profitable… It is probably one of the few jobs for women that allows them to be the boss without having to compete against men.
