Profile of Leif Ueland
Good feature article about Leif Ueland. "When Ueland decided to write 'Accidental Playboy,' about the six-month bus trip he took in 1998, documenting Playboy's search for the Playmate of the Millennium -- during which he was dragged to strip joints, obliged to photograph topless women and forced (well, maybe not forced) to sleep with two tryouts -- his publisher wanted to use the subtitle 'Living the Ultimate Male Fantasy.' 'I just wanted to shoot myself,' says Ueland, descendant of feminists, recovering sexual neurotic, gay-seeming straight and all-around Sensitive Male. He made a counteroffer: 'Caught in the Ultimate Male Fantasy.' That, he felt, more accurately captured the angst of his journey."
