I love Kendra's football pumpkin! It cracked me up. Plus, didn't she eventually put eyes over the hole, so it looked like a big giant mouth? Also perfect!

Anybody else notice, when Kendra was getting dressed in her GI Jane costume, she was standing there getting painted with her boobs hanging out for the world to see? I thought, hmmm, she must be getting her whole body painted, like Bridget with the blue... but no... later on she appeared in a little skirt and halter top, with just some fake cuts and bruises painted on. Put them away Kendra!

Also I thought she was hitting on Elvira.

Thanks for that interesting slice of the Vegas nightlife, dutchsofa!

Big word to everything stated about how lame The Palms casino is---I'm a regular Vegas visitor myself, and that has to be the most overrated newer casino out there, hands down. Lame people, lame clubs((Rain is such a joke and Ghostbar is the poseur palace)), and there aren't even any decent bars or performers there...the place had its big 15 minutes of hipness thanks to The Real World and Britney Spears' frequent stays, but it's otherwise considered a pretty passe place to hang in Vegas now, or a place that simply attracts tourists who don't know any better.
Why The Palms still feeds into the whole outdated Playboy theme is beyond me, although I guess it's trying to attract the same laughable clientele of 30-something male losers that would subscribe to Playboy.

Also, how old is Elvira now? She's obviously up there...I hate to say it, but age has certainly turned her into an actual butterface---her ripe fake breasts and trim figure sure didn't match the haggardly face....what a shame; she used to be so hot...
I got a bit of a pseudo-bitch vibe from her around the girls too; of course, she's always been a bit sarcastic, but it was kinda funny to watch her acting like she was teasing the girls right in front of their faces.

My only comment from last night's episode (since the paranormal stuff is just too obviously absurd), is the same comment I made a while back:

Note to Holly:

Hef will die someday.

Sincerely,

Reality

I can understand getting eeked out by the place where your boyfriend will be buried (altho most of us don't have 80 year old boyfriends but still...) the way she said it was with such venom that I couldn't tell if she held contempt against Marilyn Monroe, the tomb, grave sites in general, death in general...what? The man will die some day and that day is sooner than she wants it to be. If she knows what's good for her she better refrain from using the wet towel on Hef at his next orgy and just go for broke!

You know, I don't get to watch this show very often but I can say that y'all are far more interesting and full of the good scoop. I just recently got to check out the "Kendra's Birthday" episode. It makes me feel old that I want to like, mentor that child. I want to kindap her, condition and re-dye her hair and teach her how to use a computer. I want to like mother her...and I'm 26.



Seriously, I'm a supposedly uncool midwesterner and even I know that the Palms sucks. I was recently in Vegas and had a absolutely supreme time VIP style at RumJungle (I don't know if its cool to most and I'm sure I would have hated it if I wasn't VIP. Why don't clubs want you to have anywhere to sit?), Tao, and Tryst. When we went to the "cool" Palms? Walked in and walked right back out, shocked by the obviously lameness. It was like "okay, we've seen it, lets go have some real fun". It is totally the right place for Playboy.

But during the baby shower episode when Holly was saying evertime she tells her friends that she wants a baby they tell her she is crazy because her boyfriend is 80 and has 2 other girlfriends made me belive as crazy as she is she knows whats up. (Or what time it is if you will)... She dreams of having Hef all to her self with baby but knows its not reality.

I've seen Elvira (or Cassandra Peterson) without all her makeup on some VH1 clip shows, and she's actually not too terrible looking for her age. I think it's all the crazy Elvira makeup that frightens people away. She looks her age, but I think she's still attractive.

Anyway, the best part of the entire show was when Elvira and Hef were chatting and Hef said something to Elvira about the girls not being too happy about her appearing on the Mansion Christmas cards (or something to that effect.) Elvira's response was "So what? You can always get new girls" and Hef said "Absolutely...easy come, easy go." If that won't be a slap in the face to Holly (the only one out of the bunch who doesn't seem to realize that the free ride won't last forever), nothing will.

Vegas Playboy experience? Does the club close down at 9:30pm?

notmycupoftea- especially since Holly has pronounced herself "first lady of the Playboy Mansion." To me, Mary is more the first "lady" then she is. She's the first hobag maybe...

That's probably what the label attached to the costume said that was sticking up out from the waistband along her hind quarters thre whole time.
Yeah, she did. I think she should have just started over with a new pumpkin. Didn't hef say something about her pumpkin?
How could you tell? Her makeup looked like it had been practically trowelled onto her face! Speaking of which, I loved the expression on her face when she said that girl's all-pink room and her reply when asked how to "Halloween it up". I get the distinct impression that a lot of what Elvira said zoomed way over the GND's heads.

Stayed up late last night and caught back to back GND episodes. What else are you supposed to do with satellite TV? Watch C-Span 3?

Caught the tail end of the Holloween party episode and that was pretty disturbing. Is there any holiday or event these nitwits (Hef and his bimbettes) will not run into the ground with slutty costumes, creepy guests, or just a pervading feeling of sleaziness? It's supposed to be cute and sexy but it's not. It's just downright disturbing. And I like sexy and cute things (specially girls) but not this mess.

And then it was time for Kendra's 21st birthday bash. Heaven! The television gods have not forsaken us! Yes! Where to begin? It's like being on the Titanic and trying to bail water with just a cup. Where do you start? First off, there is no doubt in my mind that Kendra has to be the dumbest most annoying person alive. She's totally clueless about everything and everyone. She would need three premotions to be classfied as stupid. Every other word or phrase out of her foul mouth is more inane and inappropriate than the previous one. Unbelievable!

And nothing like watching an undeserving, lazy, talentless, twit getting showered with gifts and limo rides. But that stupid Las Vegas Palms Casino (?), what was that? If you're a 21 year-old girl what are you suppossed to do with a bowling alley in your hotel room? If you're a middle-aged man fine, but what is Kendra going to do there (besides say, "Oh, my Gaaawwwddd!" a million times). But then the reality of the situation set in. Kendra has basically sold her soul to the devil. Oh, yeah, she can have everything she wants but she has to sleep with and kiss a creepy 80 year-old man who looks like a preserved museum mummy. She's also rock-stupid and a total skank. On second thought, she's getting the raw end of the deal there. Money and material things can't buy class or dignity.

I'm confused about the timeline for this episode. Could someone fill me in? I had it on as background noise, so I wasn't paying attention. When was it shot? Did they have a fake Halloween party over the summer in order to get the footage?

Is it common knowlege that Kendra is gay? Has anyone heard anything about that? I am just wondering because she totally sets off my gaydar.

I totally laughed too when Hef and Elvira were talking about the girls and Hef says "easy come, easy go". That was awesome. Also when Bridget was talking about what she should do with her hair to Elvira who couldn't have cared less!

Last night's Halloween episode highlighted the party from last year. I know that made it so confusing since they said they stopped taping in June.

Is she actually gay/bi or just doing the 'faux lesbian dance' (thank Veronica Mars for that term)?

I thought that was the transmitter for her body-mic. or possibly on the garter-belt.

As for Elvira being 80's, I was under the impression she is and has been an LA celeb forever. She was big nationwide in the 80's, but she has celeb status in Los Angeles still to this day hosting her local show. At least that is what I had read?

I don't think she's gay. I just think she's just a big 'ol slut...

I get the vibe with her and Destiny that they probably get it on when they don't have anyone better to do.

Thank you Kikibarry!

The death tour is run by Ken from http://www.findadeath.com and actually looks sort of cool in a morbid sort of way.

Thanks for the insider Vegas view Dutchsofa! The Palms was really empty the last time I was there, which was a while ago. Off the strip = PITA.

Re: Kendra being gay...it strikes me more as an attention-getting device. I'm Kendra's age, and a lot of girls I know will do the "faux lesbian dance" for just that reason. If you want guys to pay attention to you, it pretty much never fails.

Bridget's animals are still the highlight of the show for me. Also, the timeline of this episode freaked me out a bit...so that was Halloween 2005 we just saw? But the previous episodes, with the baby shower and Eurotrip, were from this summer? Weird. I don't like being chronologically messed with, E.

Don't forget "lazy". She can't be bothered to dress up or arrive on time for the other bimbo's birthday party, wore a t-shirt as a Halloween costume, etc.
You'd be gay too if you had to service Hef! But seriously, who was it who said that female strippers "turn gay" (well, learn to hate men) after having to deal with pigs at their job?

We were in Vegas this July and it was really empty. The restaurant Alize on the top floor is pretty good and has beautiful views of the strip though. The Playboy tower was still being built when we were there.

I can't imagine a lot of people going to the trouble to get over to the Playboy Club then pay to gamble when you can do it at any other casino without the cover charge. The bunnies they showed on E! were totally fug.

I think Brigette is going to be on VH-1's Celebrity Paranormal Project coming up this weekend.

According to Jill Ann's book, one way to avoid riding Hef was to play among themselves and pretend they were really into it. How many times can you pretend before you start going at it for real?

Thanks for the details, dutchsofa. I find it very amusing that Kendra would try to break from the group and kept on being ushered back. Girl is really getting bored!

I can't wait for 5 years to pass. By then these girls will be nobodies, clinging desperatly to what little fame they once had. They will all write "behind the mansion walls" books so we can know just how bad of whores they are. Kendra will have already claimed to never want to date a white guy again (she is always sweating the brown sugar!) and they wil all whine how they didn't get money out of mean ole Hef's will. I personally cannot wait. These talentless, worthless women are taking up valuable slots for much better shows! I have yet to see one quality in any of them that would make me think they are intelligent caring people

So throwing a birthday party for dogs isn't intelligent or caring?
;-p

I know it has been said before but I still cant get over the MESS that is Kendra's room. When the butler were looking for her grill it was discusting. Dont they have a maid or someone to help her clean up?

Holly totally looked like Dr. Girlfriend, but probably didn't even know, since she can't stay up late enough to watch Adult Swim what with that pesky curfew and all. http://www.adultswim.com/shows/venturebros/ (click on 'characters', then 'Dr. Girlfriend').

I checked out E! and Holly's been with Hef for 5 years, since an upcoming episode will be about it:

I wonder how much it costs to rent out the mansion for a party... the rates are probably proportionate to the degree of skankitude.

Hee, "skankitude" is my new favorite word!

LOL, gaydar! Made me chuckle. You gotta know there's three and four-somes going on in that fluid-soaked bed of Hef's, now don't you? I'm sure they all have no problem doing a little muff diving now and then.

According to Jill Ann it's all simulated.

Like Flavor of Love 3? ;) I for one can't get enough of them. The Season One DVD is on my amazon wish list.

How anoying must it be to live in that house behind where the Black Dahlia was found? People must be stepping/laying on their lawn all the time.

I thought it was completely crass for Bridgette to pose like the Black Dahlia's corpse. Does she think it was glamorous that the poor woman was sexualy assaulted and then cut in half and then had her face mutilated??? Bridgette has serious problems.
Yea but to be on the receiving end of that you'd have to remove your panties and that would be the signal that you wanted to ride the Dried Beef. And in any case, I sure wouldn't want to get close to the open sores, unidentified viruses and king crabs that I am sure the Muffs Next Door are decorated with.

It's probably been worse these days what with the movie and all. What a nightmare! Unless they are renting the house, or are incredibly laid back (do people still use that phrase). Or they have a stealth sprinkler system set up that they can suprise their lawn visitors with... and post the film on Youtube.

Re: disease: how ironic is it that Kendra was worrying about catching disease from the basement of an old hotel? Here's a new word for you: condoms. Only two syllables, too!

As entertaining as this show is, I'm sort of left with a sense of sadness for these women. Hef is the ultimate leader-onner kind of guy... he throws Holly a bone every so often, like letting her remodel things, but he's just doing what he's been doing for the past 50+ years: using their asses, for cheap.

I'm no Hollywood insider, but aren't these women basically a joke in the entertainment world?

That made me laugh. Maybe it can be a ride at the top of the Palms, like the Stratosphere.

Hmmm, I wonder if that was a "Dr Girlfriend" costume she was wearing?
Well, consider who you are talking about. A girl who aspires to be a black dirtbag, a girl who wants to bear Hef's babies, and another who never grew out of her 6-year-old fascination of pink.

I hope this is a reference to a Halloween costume.

I think he meant Kendra's obsession with rap music and every stereotype that comes with it.

I love TGND. I wasn't expecting to like it, I certainly wasn't expecting to like the Girls, but I do.

Correct.

I get the impression that Hef is a real cheapskate with these girls.

Yeah, real golddiggers would have some diamonds at least by now, not just micro-chips on some tatty bunny necklace.

I liked how in the Halloween ep, in the deathmobile you can hear one of the girls voiceover, "hearse, is that spelled 'h u r s e'?"

eta: like I should talk, I can't even spell 'surprise' correctly.

If you think Hef is cheap, check out the price on their new Playboy watches by Jake the Jeweler.

And didn't Hef just buy Bridget a new Porsche or Corvette or something in a recent episode, too?

[quote]I get the impression Hef is a real cheapskate with these girls.

I agree. If the producers wanted to show the glamour and luxury of life at the Mansion, they totally missed the mark. It's like the Girls are living some kind of white trash fantasy, with the grills and the bling and the spandex.

I saw a promo for VH1's "Celebrity Paranormal Project" yesterday and Bridgette will be one of the "celebrities" running around haunted houses and abandoned mental institutions. If anyone out there was dying to see Bridgette pull a Hef and crap her pants, this is your opportunity.

I don't understand why they aren't flying private jets to Las Vegas instead of taking buses and whatever other cheapy airline they flew the last time they went. If I was dating Hef, I would expect to be lavished in only the best of the best 24/7. These girls are not. They each have a bedroom in his mansion, big deal. They are amazed when they see or are treated to something expensive every once in a while, that is not the reaction you get from someone who is used to that lifestyle. And, he did not buy her a Porsche or Corvette, it was something else and big deal, he should. He doesn't throw his money around with them, at least not from what they show us.

I think the theme song is the funniest part about it. They lyrics go:

Come on-a my house my house, I'm gonna give you candy
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give a you
Apple a plum and apricot-a too eh
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house I'm gonna give a you
Figs and dates and grapes and cakes eh
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you candy
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you everything

I thought that looked like her! So is this a one episode show or a series? Because the thing I was wondering if it is her, is how she managed to swing benig gone for a period of time like that due to their curfew?

It's probably leased.

He didn't buy it for her. They just "borrowed" it from the dealership for the weekend or whatever.
