Actually in the sixties, seventies and early eighties Hefner was considered somewhat scummy. Women who worked at the old mansion occasionally complained about what happened to them and more than a couple of playmates/bunnies died young, some confirmed suicides. Then he became somewhat more acceptable and once the…

My brother went to a party at the mansion, and he confirmed the dog and cat pee/shit being everywhere, he said it was very gross. He was also disappointed in how badly maintained some of the truly impressive wood banisters/moulding/carvings were.

Oh, my goodness, no! If ever we “crack up,” it’s because we’re charmed by the eccentric reading tastes of some patrons (e.g., a patron who regularly requests novelizations of a certain early 2000s-era teen drama series that aired on the WB). I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed any library staff person describe a…

Many former girlfriends have said these things about Hefner for years. But people always dismissed them. People even dismissed the creepy stuff that was admitted to on the show, like the curfews for the women.

I thought that some of the Cosby rapes happened at the Playboy Mansion.

I’m interested in reading it, too, but I’m a little (okay, a lot) leary of the ICK Factor I would be exposing myself to.

Dude, Holly hated Kendra. Holly always had the best shade when mentioning Kendra on the girls next door. Always saying, but not saying how dumb and childish Kendra was.

I realize that this isn’t what you’re saying, but I had no desire to undermine the wealth loss of Cubans because of Castro. It was a significant hurt. But I can’t stand the tunnel vision and myopia that I often see from American sources.

So a few months ago when the Cosby story was really getting big I happened upon a random Netflix show that seemed to be about 10 years old that detailed “secrets” of the Playboy Mansion, like how Hef really likes peanut butter sandwiches and how they have theme parties. So, really in-depth reporting. Anyway, they…

It’s still such a huge power imbalance even if they’re all using each other. One man, lots of women. They’re using him for his money (which will accumulate over time), he’s using them for their youth (which will decrease over time.) But they’ll all bury him so that should cheer them up some.

The situation here is that Holly pressed for marriage and didn’t get it, so Hef offered her more money for when he died, as a way to compensate her for her “loyalty”, but that wasn’t good enough for her so they broke up. She even froze his sperm. She wanted everything. This was a woman with a plan from the very…

It always creeped me out that he was so insistent that they were his “girlfriends.” Stop writing those checks and see how friendly those girls are...

Another good one is “Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion.” It was writhed by another girlfriend of Hef’s who lived in the mansion right around the time Holly first arrived. She had a completely different take on Holly, claimed she was totally obsessed with Hef and did everything she could in terms…

I never watched Girls Next Door and care nothing about Playboy models, but will be reading this book. If I can get over my shame of someone at the library knowing I want to read this book.

I said when the Cosby story became big news (I knew about it for years), that there was no way Hefner didn’t know. He’s a smart guy. I find it impossible to believe that he never heard anything,

I’m 28 and I cried six times TODAY. (Shut up, I was reading a really poignant book while working an unexpected grave shift, you guys would have cried too.)

The sad thing is that he has probably never given much thought to how much the former bunnies can hurt his image or his business because chances are he doesn’t believe they are... you know... people. It’s a very Cosby way of seeing women, as in “I’m so rich and powerful that these things I stick my dick in every now…

The link says Hefner also tried to get her to stay with him by putting her in his will. Don’t you guys think at this point Hugh Hefner must feel a little degraded knowing that all his child brides are just waiting around for him to die and leave them money? (And, if so, GOOD!)

I know right? My jaw dropped at that.

WHOA. Holly never signed a NDA? I know this is not my best moment, but......
