Yea, I don't get this either. I've seen it once and expected much more for all the build-up. I think Hef must associate it with sex with his first wife or something...and like most Alzheimer patients, feels most comfortable with routine and having familiar things around him.

She also really doesn't understand what "sexy" is, judging from the dominatrix outfit. She stomped around in that damn thing all night, screaming rap lyrics and yelling at her mom. As far as Playboy lingerie ensembles go, she rated a distant third after Holly and Bridget, whose outfits I thought were actually very creative and becoming to them. Even Paris and Bai Ling looked better than her.

When you pair this excellent description with the visual of the HAIR and the outfit, it just makes you crack up!!! Seriously, "stomping" is such the right word. She also looked like she was ten feet tall for some reason, adding to the monster-like quality of the whole get up!

The one thing I can say I like (yeah, that's way to strong of a word) about Holly is that she does seem to care about learning about and preserving the Playboy traditions. However, she thinks she is sooooooooo smart and that makes me want to both laugh and throw something at the t.v. at the same time. Or stuff one of her trademark tube socks in her mouth.

This show does NOT make me want to spend money on Playboy products. Seeing "icon" Hef dottering around makes you think the mag and stuff are for guys like him.

Does Kendra have some kind of subconscious murder wish by giving her "boyfriend" a photo of herself holding a gun in front of his shadow? It's already clear that she doesn't care about Hef – she's excited for the birthday party, not because it's his birthday, but because of the rap band; she doesn't even bother framing the photo or wrapping it decently; and did she bother giving him an anniversary card or even remembering that it was their anniversary? Like the others, she's only there for the free ride.

What was up with Holly drawing cartoons at the b-day dinner? WTF? Hef didn't seem to give a crap and everyone else seemed to just trying to be polite by pretending to like the drawing. Are her drawing skillzzzz what she thinks separates her from the common street whores?

Kendra looked like a bird crapped in her hair. And she has confirmed she is the epitome of white trash. I can't believe they even let in her in the mansion gates.
Holly, keep talking to those old Playmates, you'll be there in 5 months.
Bridge, you're a pervert's dream, with your pigtailed hair and baby interests.

Hef, if you are ever crazy enough to marry Holly, I have one word for you: Pre-nup.

Just a quick answer to a question posted on the last page:

Yes, lots of ex-girlfriends, playmates, cyber girls, etc., hang out and some actually live at the mansion. There are several other buildings on the property that house all the hangers-on. And Hef's current wife and teenaged sons live in their own house on the property. The place is run like a resort and lots of girls continually hang out and live there.

SLOB ON MY KNOB...SLOB ON MY KNOB...GET ON THE BED AND GIVE ME SOME HEAD...SLOB ON MY KNOB



DAMMIT!!! I saw that damn episode ONE TIME and I can't get that damn song outta my head

*calls papi*

Kendra is just SOOOO trashy. Bridget is kind of likable is a sweet, we-have-to-keep-her-here-because-she-could-never-survive-in-the-wild kind of way. Holly, meh.

I watch because it's wretchingly good.

OK, I was the one who inquired about this due to the appearance of Cristal Camden who was identified on the show as "Hef's Ex-Girlfriend". Was she a "#1" girlfriend, or just one of the group? I would think it would get to be a bit much with all of these girls running around the grounds constantly. I mean, my interpretation is that they (Kendra, Holly, Bridget) reside in the main house with Hef. Are any of the others in the actual mansion itself, or only in the other out buildings?

I wonder what Holly thinks of all of these extras running around. Actually, I wonder what Kimberley thinks of all these extras running around...the one show they did on Hef featured her talking and it seemed like they really did truly care about one another.

My favorite of Hef's exes, though, is still Brandi Roderick. She seemed really nice and down to earth whenever she was interviewed or appeared on a show. You don't hear much about her anymore or ever see her, so I am assuming she is not one of the exes currently residing at the mansion?

I like Brandi too. She doesn't live there, but she's still friendly with Hef. She was in the party photos in the front section of the mag way after she and Hef were over.
I wonder how long the girlfriend confidentiality agreements last? Howard Stern has had both Brandi and Tina Jordan on since Hef downsized from 7 to 3 girls and both stuck to the party line. But I guess if that's what you're known for, it behooves you to keep quiet. The Playmates can get quite a bit of promotional work- appearances, beer/liquor ads, etc.- from being associated with the magazine.

Heh. I am sure Holly loves that she still comes around and is still on friendly terms with Hef! lol

I always thought that Brandi seemed like a class-act, and didn't ever act trashy or over-the-top (i.e. Kendra and Bridget, respectively). That being said, I also think that Holly is by far the "classiest" of the three current gf's, if you can call it that. Sure she's a little overpossessive and jealous, but at least she's not jumping out of cakes and wearing dominatrix outfits for all to see. She seems to conduct herself in a way that's at least not too embarrassing.

**Edited to add: I read somewhere (maybe somewhere back in this thread?) that one of his exes is coming out with a "tell all" book about life in the mansion sometime soon. I think it was mentioned here somewhere. I'll go back and see if I can find out who it is. I agree that there must be some sort of confidentiality agreement because so far, all of the exes seem to say that everything is all rosey after they left, and I just have a hard time believing that it's like that for all of them.



I found this but the link doesn't work anymore.

Well I did a little sleuthing. The former girlfriend writing the "tell-all" is Izabella St. James. Her book is called "Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion".

Here is a link to her myspace where she mentions the book. Supposedly it comes out August 21st. I am sure it will be more of what we have already heard about the mansion, i.e. the date nights, curfew, sex nights, etc.

Bunny Tales

About the outfits for the birthday party, I really enjoyed Holly's. She has pretty good taste for someone whose "clothes" are pretty much lingerie; the peacock outfit looked really pretty.

Bridget was just...wrong. But then, I always have a problem with 25 year old girls who wear pink, have pigtails, and collect Hello Kitty Memorabilia. Plus, stripping in front of your parents = EWW.

Kendra? Bitch is crazy.

circe221, thanks for posting the links. I want to read that new book. I hope she doesn't go into too many details about her life before she met Hef (I'm not interested in that) but it would be interesting to see what life was like for her when she lived at the mansion.

Bridget luuuurves you forever for calling her 25.

25? are you kidding? In dog years maybe...

Dear God. She's 33????? Where's the allure there? Not only does she have baby princess tastes, she's clearly over Hef's age limit. And the pink princess bedroom looks alot sadder.

I blame my very poor reception of the E channel on not noticing earlier. After having googled her, I now see some...ugliness.

I go back and forth on how pretty I think Bridget is. But pretty or ugly, she's no way 33. I'd add at least 5 years to that.

I never would have guessed that Bridget was 33! I was shocked to read that. She seems so much younger, both looks-wise and personality-wise. She is actually my favorite GF, I personally think she is the prettiest, and I also am an animal lover and like to buy silly pink frilly things even though I am in my late 20s, so I like that about her too. Holly is the one that I think looks much older than she is, although she is attractive, she looks to me more like someone in their early 40s. Granted, someone in their 40's who has had work done, but there is something old about her face, IMO. Kendra, I agree with most of you, is kind of trashy and "hard".

I admit I didn't see the whole epi (there is only so much you can take!), but I didn't think Kendra's mom acted inappropriately at all! Her dress was somewhat "sexy", but fine for someone of her age at a party like that. And her dancing didn't seem bad to me. She is at a party at the Playboy mansion, for goodness sakes! I wasn't sure what Kendra was so up in arms about. She almost seemed jealous that her mom might get some attention.

I saw in the previews for the season Hef and the GFs going to Europe, in a gondola in Venice. Now, I went to Italy on vacation last year, and Venice was one of my favorite places I have ever visited, so peaceful, elegant, serene. Then you bring in the tackiness that is Hef and his entourage, it would be such a juxtaposition! They are tainting Venice! lol.

does anyone know where i can download the first season?

I can see Kendra now, asking where the closest Olive Garden is! What trash!!

Anyway, I've been on vacation to Italy and I loved it too!! It's so beautiful and the men there are to die for! Too bad the girls will be polluting it with their peroxide and silicone.

This could be said for the others too, but I would really love to see Kendra get a makeover. I know she won't keep it up, but I would just like to see how she would look with better makeup and darker, healthy hair.

ITUNES

Kendra and her "grill" was one of the funniest things I've seen on this show. LMFAO!!! What a ridiculous waste of money. Bad enough on a thug, but on a pretty little spoiled girl? What a joke.

I wish they'd fix all three girls' hair. The platinum blonde is so tacky imo. Kendra especially looks just BAD with that hair color.

Did anyone notice the fake grills that the producers put on Kendra, and there's always this sound effect whenever they do it. They always give her the fake grills when she makes some lame comment about being "ghetto faboulous" or some shit, but it's pretty damned funny. I think they started doing that this season.

My favorite moment of tonight was Holly's self described occupation as "illegitimate lady of the house."

Regarding tonight's new ep - I was unclear if Hef bought Bridget that car, or they talked Porshe into giving it to her? I think they were trying to pass it off as Hef paid for it, but somehow I doubt that.

Also, I thought Kendra's magazine cover was way more impressive than the Captain Morgan ad, and I thought she had a good attitude about not being included in the other shoot. Much more mature about it than when Bridget had to miss the original grotto shoot in season 1. I had a good chuckle during the Captain Morgan ad that aired, where it said in big letters "Captain Morgan does not employ models who are or appear to be under the age of 25." Did you hear that Bridget and Holly?

Finally, I adored Holly's necklace in her interviews tonight - it was sort of goldish and pink pearl/beads. I wish she would design things like that instead of gaudy champagne charms for her jewelry line.

The guy playing Captain Morgan was weird.

[Paraphrasing everything; I don't remember word-for-word]

Bridget: "After we did our pictorial in Playboy, I thought being a Playmate was the highest we could go." Yeah, that Marie Curie didn't reach high enough, did she?

Kendra voice over: "I have to do some things I don't want to do."

Cut to: Kendra: "I have to take a shower."

Heh.

I also liked Holly's "illegitimate lady of the house" and her comment regarding Captain Morgan, "holy shit; this guy won't break character."

I actually really like Holly - yes, she is somewhat delusional with her Hef/baby plans, but I think she has a great sense of humor and candor. In her interviews I see more "clarity" within her (if that makes any sense).

I could see her being president of a sorority (i guess she already is). I wonder if she is southern because I see alot of old southern traditions in her.

That freaked me out. According to her bio on e's site she's from Alaska and until recently the only national sorority with a chapter in that state was mine. I don't dislike Holly, but I would shudder to call her a sister. Fortunately, for my piece of mind, there is no mention of her going to college in Alaska or ever being in a sorority. I can live in denial for a while longer.

When I was watching last night I had to change the channel when Kendra's segment about getting her grill came on. I can't believe that she is so clueless and classless. I thought that part of the reason the girls have a curfew and they get paid is because they have to project the correct image for Playboy and Hef. How can tacky dental work fit into that image?

Good grief! Are you serious about that? That sounds like some sort of workplace-related lawsuit waiting to happen!

Kendra is just such a mess that it's almost painful to watch! The grill was hideous and it didn't really seem to fit her mouth really well either--I would love to know how much money went into that thing. Or maybe not, it would probably just depress me.

I actually like Holly this season, she seems to have more of a personality and a pretty good sense of humor. She's a little delusional, but she seems slightly more grounded recently.

I still can't believe I watch this show--it's my Sunday night guilty pleasure.

Only if one of the girls falls off a gondolla.

I barely made it through last night's show. It was just inane. I know it's always inane, but it is usually mildly amusing too but not last night. Bridget really get on my nerves. That baby voice has got to go, and the devil costume did not flatter her at all. They will have to do a lot of airbrushing in the ad.

I too would like to see Kendra get a makeover, and I think Holly would look much better and younger with darker hair. Bridget's hair looks OK to me. It's really blonde but not platinum-fake like the others.

Every time Kendra laughs, my skin crawls.

I wonder if Hef or any of the Playboy crowd went to Pam Anderson's white-trash wedding.

Wait, wait -- I didn't watch last night's episode, but I thought the whole grill thing was a joke, like, haha, I'm so ghetto I'm going to get grills. DID KENDRA ACTUALLY GET GRILLS?

I quit life.

Can you take a grill off once it's on? Are they like dentures?

Dang some of your replies are so mean. I love both Holly and Bridget but I can't stand miss white trash Kendra. She makes Hef look bad for keeping her around. I thought he had standards.


The Mighty Peanut: I think the grills were something she could just put over her teeth, they weren't permanent.

The only thing I could think the entire time was "eww". Does she not realize how ridiculous she looks trying to be black? And plus, grills are disgusting in general, lots of bacteria stuck in there.

Holly is my favorite, she seems like she has two brain cells to rub together.

Bridget now just makes me sad, her anchor interview made me cringe.

I only saw the part where Kendra got her grills. What a joke. I hate when people try to be what they are not. I'm black but I would look dumb as hell talking about I'm gangsta and I need my grills so it's not this white girl shouldn't be trying to act black. I think grills are some of the worse things ever invented. What a waste of money and the bacteria issues. I can't believe any self-respecting dentist would get invovled with such things.

You have articulated perfectly why I keep tryng to post and then give up in exasperation. Words cannot describe how stoopid the Girls are.

Kendra spent her childhood eating paint chips and grew up to be a walking, talking venereal disease. Good thing paint chips are low in calories, otherwise she wouldn't have her fabulous career.

Bridgette is a brain damaged stipper. Does Bridgette see the deep crows feet she has?? Well, I see them and the camera will see them soon, too. Unfortunately for her, the kind of men she is trying to appeal to don't want women with crows feet.

Holly is just waiting for someone to die -- and I don't mean Hef. I mean Mary. She wants to steal Mary's (the secretary) job.

Kendra had me *DEAD* last night....that guy that came to the mansion with the grill in his mouth, there is a club picture of him somewhere on one of the other messageboards I post on, and I DIED when I realized it was him!



and when she was on the phone talking to her mother (from the previous episode) and there was a pause of silence and then she says WORD.....she bugs, but she's cute!

Quick FYI: Holly spent her early years in Alaska and then her family moved to Oregon (Astoria, I think, and then to a small town east of Portland) and she graduated from high school and went to some college in Oregon at Portland State U.

Nope, not a bit of southern in her!

I love the "audience" at movie night: not a man under 60 or a bottle blond over 25. (with the exception of Bridget).

Speaking of Bridget, can she please learn a new pose when she gets photographed? The little downward tilt of her head, the fuck me eyes looking up, and her mouth open like she's about to moan with pleasure -- it's getting old. Just like her.

I didn't understand the jewelry segment. If there's been a Playboy line of jewelry for years, why was everyone acting like Holly just discovered a cure for cancer or something?

Kendra's grill was just ridiculous. I hope when she sees this episode she'll realize how ridiculous she looks, but that probably will not happen. She'll probably just think it will give her more "cred" as the gangsta-pimp-whatever she thinks she is.

Bridget is just plain annoying. I just want to smack her when she talks in that ridiculous sing-songy way. I have to admit, though, she looked much better than Holly at the Captain Morgan shoot.

Was that Hef's ex Cristal Camden with Holly at the jewelry place? She was in the last episode. I just think it is so weird that the ex-gf's still hang out there...

I don't think any self respecting dentist does. Kendra had to get a "Grill Master" (I want to vomit) to make hers, the only thing the dentist did was take a mold of her teeth.

White girl trying to act black? Yes, Kendra does act this way. BUT I'd like to point out that grillz were made popular by Paul Wall - the white rapper - AND Nelly - so it's not a racial thing to get a grill. And since I'm the dorkiest walking pop culture dictionary, yes, grillz are removable. Basically, they're a lot like the old school retainers. You have to take them out to eat and you do have to follow a basic hygine routine as far as cleaning and stuff goes. So, bacteria shouldn't be that big of a problem, except for the fact that it's Kendra.

ETA: By popular - I mean MAINSTREAM. Most young folk don't know who Flava Flav is outside of Flavor of Love and that's not even on MTV - it's on VH1. I highly doubt Kendra cared about a grill until that.gosh.darn.stuck.in.everyone's.head.song. came out.

As to the grills, Paul Wall (who sucks very much, BTW) wasn't first out of the gate.
From Flavor Flav's Wikipedia entry:

"Flav credits himself as having been the originator of the current platinum grill craze in hip hop fashion. Though Flav himself has vehemently stated that he would never wear platinum teeth himself, his near-constant wearing of gold teeth has inspired other rappers to get gold or platinum teeth, he claims."

Sorry, I'm a sucker for bad celebrity reality TV, and watch Flavor of Love as well. Oh, the shame!

That said, Kendra did indeed look hideous with her grill.

I am going to veer off topic for a bit, but Paul Wall did not make grillz popular...

Can you imagine how that room smelled?? Gag...."Old Man smell" + every perfume known to man + dog pee that they can never manage to clean out of the carpet + dried semen that they can never manage to clean out of the carpet + "cafeteria smell" from the institutional kitchen + plus the stink from the banister that Holly "shined" with her cooch last season wafting into the room. Blech.

It comes as no surprise to me that Holly designs jewelry, because that seems to be the bimbo obsession of the moment. Why is it that every porno actress/Playmate/Paula Abdul who wants to show the world how "deep" she is mentions that she designs jewelry?
