******* Playboy magazine is offering a new way to lose your shirt on Wall Street. The adult entertainment magazine, long famous for its photo spreads of nude women and lessons in living the urbane life of the well-heeled bachelor, is launching a search for models to pose for its upcoming feature, "Women of Wall Street." Playboy came up with the idea for the feature after the onset of the global financial crisis, which has vaporized fortunes and left Wall Street reeling.

2. WWD Memo Pad
It?s taken more than two years, but Marie Claire editor in chief Joanna Coles has finally completed the puzzle of her strategy for the magazine with the hiring of Nina Garcia as fashion director. And what that strategy apparently means is more brand extensions, a higher fashion quotient, celebrity profiles that hope to dig deeper than most and the real-life stories for which the magazine is known. The arrival of Garcia, with her high-profile gig as a judge on ?Project Runway,? couldn?t come at a better time for Marie Claire, given its newsstand performance over the last 24 months, economy aside. Coles admits TV brand extensions are important for the magazine going forward, and has already signed on to do another one: ?Running in Heels? on The Style Network. Given ?Project Runway,? Garcia won?t be deeply involved in the other program, although she?ll be featured in some segments. MORE ONLINE
