Israel's first bunny to leave Playboy Channel

Noga Shachar, Israel’s first Playboy Bunny, is leaving the Playboy Channel, Yedioth Ahronoth reports today.


Noga is leaving Playboy. Posted by Hello

“My relations with Playboy were relations of love and hate, just like in a couple. After a year of activities in which I learned a great deal about myself and the industry, the time came to leave.”

(Here’s a link to more photos of Noga. Just click the left-hand tab above the main photo. If you can read Hebrew, it says 'Galeriat Te'munot' - which means 'Picture Gallery' in English.)

What does Israel’s first soft-core porn star have planned now? Deals for a TV series focusing on the link between politics and humor, cable movie and a weekly column in the new magazine GO on - yes, you guessed it – sex and relationships.

Here’s a brief excerpt from an interview in the Yediot report, translated from Hebrew:

Q: At your young age, from where do you have knowledge and experience to become a sex priestess?

Noga: “You’d be surprised, but I have it. How many men have you slept with? More than 100? I know exactly how many men I’ve slept with. I have a little book with their names. And for my age the number is definitely respectable. If I began at the age of 16 and today I’m 21, which means five years, and I managed to sleep with a good few dozen, then you understand. And I’ve slept with boys who are 15 and men who are 45.”

[I'll try to find time to translate more of the interview.]
