    Hello,

    I'm happy that my cousin has become successful in modeling. She is a very pretty girl and I'm sure she will go far. However, she's been featured as Playboy's "Cyber Girl of the Week (picture safe for work, link probably isnt)" and has done a good bit of modeling for them.

    I wish I could be happy that someone in my family has become semi-famous but I'm disheartened and somewhat upset because I'm working hard to be a reputable professional in Engineering. We have two different last names, but the association is still there. I'm most upset that shes basically doing softcore porn on Playboy's "Fresh Faces" site.

    I dont know what to do. Family is family and we were fairly good friends in high school but this is different. I hate to distance myself, but she's been distant lately... and this could burry my career.. or atleast my familys honor / reputation. I hate to feel this way but I dont know what to do.

    exponent, if I were you I wouldn't post a link of her picture here because a lot of people will click on it and would see her like that. If I have a cousin who does that, I might as well buy all the playboy magazines so no one would see the pictures hehe well, that's just me but I understand your point :)

    Revealing her name on a public forum isn't the best way to hide your relations, eh ?

    While you may be upset about her choice of career, she is an adult and has all right to choose what she wants. How are people going to know that you are related to her unless you choose to tell em ?

    The best you can do is to try and persuade her, but she is the one who finally decides. If she is happy doing what she is, then let her be

    she is hot all right! i can understand your problem but then i think you should maintain a bit of distance and forget her and concentrate on your job!

    she is beautiful, and probably she can become a successful and famous holiwood star some day! so get away from her way and let her do what she want's to:rolleyes:

    Any company that wouldn't employ you because a distant cousin is a Playboy model probably isn't worth working for in my opinion. If your cousin is happy I think you should just be glad for her. At least it's playboy and not some underground, exploitive rag. I can understand your concerns, but I think these days this sort of thing is more accepted.

    Oh no mate, don't think this way. No one can bury your career or reputation, if you yourself is a good person. People never care what type of relative you have got or whatever if you are nice and kind with them.

    I can bet no one from your friend's circle will be caring about this thing, and about remaining world, just don't give them a damn. They are just here to criticize and sleep. They will discuss this issue just because they are jealous from you. After all you are a Engineer.
