‘Prayer isn’t boring — you are’

September 4, 2008
In a way, Jewish prayer is like another pillar of observant Jewish life: Shabbat.

Lingerie and Meditation

\”I always say it is lingerie and meditation that have kept me young,\” says Michael Attie, a 62-year-old author, spiritual seeker and former owner of Playmates of Hollywood — the world\’s largest lingerie store.
Once known as \”The Lingerie Monk,\” Attie managed to combine his passion for spirituality with 13 years of selling sexy lingerie on Hollywood Boulevard.
I first met Attie when I recorded his mother\’s family history, and she told the story of her son inheriting Playmates of Hollywood. Her husband owned the store until 1982, when, faced with declining health, he called his son, who was meditating in the woods of Northern California, and asked him to come home to run the lingerie store.
Michael Attie made the most of it.
