If you've recently been laid off from your six-figure job at a top Wall Street investment and haven't been able to find anything on Monster.com, your search is over: Playboy (NYSE: PLA) has you covered. The magazine is looking for models for an upcoming "Women of Wall Street" feature.

Gary Cole, Playboy's photo editor, told Reuters that "It would be more interesting to have someone who's a financial analyst." Compensation will be determined in part by how many people apply for the "positions."

The whole thing's a little cheeky, but I'm sure they'll have no shortage of applicants. No word yet on whether Playgirl will be plastering the bare torsos of Richard Fuld and Jimmy Cayne on its covers.

As a side note, Playboy really isn't in much of a position to be poking fun at the troubles of Wall Street firms. Its stock is trading at $3.22, an all-time low down from the 52-week high of $12.
