Christie Hefner Blogs: Thursday on Portfolio.com

Christie Hefner is the chairman and C.E.O. of Playboy Enterprises. On Thursday, Hefner--the daughter of the original playa--will bring to Portfolio.com readers her distinct point of view on the Playboy brand and the media business. One day. One place: Portfolio.com 28-hefner-head-shot-thumb[3].jpg

Moving beyond the classic magazine, Playboy has repositioned itself as a lifestyle brand encompassing licensed merchandise, websites, clubs, and even a reality TV show--E Channel's The Girls Next Door.

Christie Hefner has had to face challenges from rivals as disparate as YouTube, the lad mags and even Facebook while also expanding into e-commerce and international markets.

Questions or comments for Ms. Hefner? Fire away Thursday when she takes her place on Portfolio.com's celebrity blog.
