Upper East Siders, tourists, and anyone else taking a spontaneous shopping trip after an afternoon at Dylan’s with the kids, be warned: Tomorrow, Playboy will be dispatching a real-live Playmate (Lindsey Vuolo, Miss November 2001, if that means anything to you) to the men’s department at the 59th Street Bloomingdale’s. The formal reason is in honor of the magazine’s March music issue; they’ve asked Daft Punk, Iggy Pop, and the Shins to “remix” the Playboy logo for some special-edition (read: “marketing”) T-shirts, and now you can buy these tees at Bloomingdale’s, where you can grab them from Miss Vuolo’s well-manicured hands. Of course, if whole thing creeps you out, you can just buy the shirts online. But we recommend stopping by. It’s not often you’ll see some captain of industry reduced to hiding behind a Tommy Bahama rack so that his wife doesn’t notice his inappropriate excitement.
