Hah, perfect. The reason the show is starting to bore me and I make no effort to watch it is because it seems to be nothing but product placement and a half hour commercial for whatever...the video, the Palms, the magazine, Sprinkles cupcakes. . .ZZZZzzzzzzzzz snore. Also, because there's not enough Gizzy anymore. He's the one I love.

And what the hell is the deal with the Palms? First they're on Real World. And then I see them product-placed a bunch of other places. Now, they're going to have a Playboy club? Why do they need so much constant exposure? It leads me to conclude the Palms must suck because they're trying way to hard to entice me.

The thought of Kendra and Ellen scares me. I imagine someone like Ellen would like someone with a great sense of humor that would laugh at her jokes, but how long could you listen to Kendra's donkey bray before you'd have to kill her?

And I'm not surprised Kendra's a bitch in person. On the one hand, I don't blame her for not taking her "job" as seriously as those other two delusionoids, but she has sort of a half-baked shot at getting something out of this, and she's just too freaking lazy to make anything of it. She was all excited about making the video, but when it came time to rehearse, she cared more about the score of some game than actually working. She went on and on about how she hopes this will lead to more videos in the future and this is her thing and she really wants to do well, but she didn't put a damn bit of effort into it. She seems to have the attention span of a gnat.

And as someone who exercises at home with videos, I didn't get the video at all. First, a pilates-type exercise segment with someone who doesn't do pilates or really exercise at all. Then a boot camp-type exercise segment with someone else who doesn't really exercise and can barely get through it. And then a segment with Kendra jumping rope and booty shaking. WTF? It makes no sense at all. Clearly, women who use exercise videos aren't the audience. Why would men buy this when they have so much access to actual naked women on cable? Why would the people behind serious, best-selling videos whore themselves out like this? I'm so confused.

I loved watching Bridget all impressed with meeting Jake. Back in the 80s I had a boss who had CNN on in his office at all times, and Jake used to do these exercise segments. We'd all gather around the television when Jake came on and laugh and laugh and laugh. What a complete and utter tool. Don't quit!

Ha! I'll bet that really makes Holly happy. Can she possibly drop more hints about wanting to get married and have babies with Hef? Anyways, methinks she has no actual interest in kids; she just wants them to ensure she's tied to Hef's estate after he's gone. Didn't she mention that now that Hef's kids with Kimberly are "all grown up" that it's time that Hef has more? But aren't they teenagers still? That's hardly all grown up. She reminds me of the bitchy Baroness from the Sound of Music with her desire to get rid of the kids.

She said "when Hef's kids are all grown up, which will be in a few years..." that they should have more.

Does anyone know what kind of dog Bridgette's adoreable puppy Wednesday is? I keep thinking it's a pekinese, but something about Wennie doesn't look like the traditional example of that breed...whatever type of dog she is, I want one!

I guess I should be embarrassed that I'll miss watching these gals and their new adventures for a while, or at least until the potential new season starts back up. I know a lot of the episodes this season were a bit contrived, but I actually really enjoyed the episodes where they all traveled out of town, Europe especially. And I'm always up for watching the gals live it up in Vegas, even if most of the time they're not allowed to stay there past 9pm, of all the unfair things.
Too bad Hef isn't able to travel more!

Good Lord, and Kendra wants to have children! I just occurred to me that Kendra wouldn't even be able to post in the forum here if she wanted to, the mods frown upon horrible grammar and bad capitalization.

The more I watch this show the more I develop a burning hatred for Kendra. I am usually sympathetic to girls who use their sexuality as a meal ticket (since nearly all of them have abusive childhoods), but Kendra's arrogance just makes me watch the reach through the screen and PUNCH her. Right in that nose. Holly and Bridget at least seem to appreciate and recognize that they have landed a very cushy job. Kendra feels she is entitled to everything she gets and more. Drives. Me. NUTS!!!!

The crowning moment (besides the whole 21st birthday episode) was when Kendra's mother gave her the silly little paper-and-glitter birthday hat, Kendra kept repeating how STUPID it was, what a waste of money it was, and how her mother always gives her the stupidest crap. The mother just stood there with a fake smile plastered on her face like it was endearing how her child was such an uncouth embarrassment to the human race.

The one with the "bunny hunt" is on right now. These women are competing to be cocktail waitresses, for crying out loud. Being a waitress is hard work, it's a legit job, and I would never say otherwise, but they're not curing cancer. Bridget and Holly must have said "this is monumental!" or something to that effect, about 20 times. It's just going to be a regular old bar with the Playboy name on it, and working there is going to lead to fewer opportunities than being Hef's "girlfriend" is.

You are right, it is a pekinese or at least that's the buzz on e online.

Wednesday looks much more like a Japanese Chin to me than she does a Pekingese.

I kept thinking while watching that episode about choosing the Bunnies ..

At least those women will have REAL jobs, they will actually be supporting themselves and independent. These "girls" are really pathetic with their little girl bedrooms - especially since they're nothing more than prostitutes.

All that said, I can't stop watching.

What, no one is rushing to comment on this last scintillating episode? Pshaw. Boooooring. Nothing but a big promo for the club. I would have fallen asleep were it not for the brief segment featuring Kendra ironing her dress in her g-string. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that...it turned me on a little. I know, EW.

I hate to say this, but I want Kendra to just vanish. Her annoying donkey laugh, her brittle white bleached hair, her 2 for $100 hard softball implants, everything about her makes me sick. Kendra looks like the piece of white Trash eminem was banging in his roach infested trailer before he got famous. I have taken this worthless show off my tivo. One more thing. Has anyone else noticed how desperate Kendra is to be black? If she could drink a juice that would turn her white ass to a chocolate color, she would. We called people like her wiggers back in my day! The show is boring me now. All I see anymore is PlayBoys desperate attempt to advertise everything, everywhere. Holly is at least beautiful. Bridgette is not cute. Those bedrooms look like they belong to a few 3 year olds. Bye, Bye Girls Next Door, see ya after you get turned away from the Surreal Life 2 years from now!

actually, the new season of "The Fabulous Life" just started. Hef and the ladies will be featured on one of the episodes: "The Fabulous life of Holllywood Sugardaddies"

The Palms is way off the strip and not the hot place to stay. The hot place to stay right now is the Wynn. The Palms wants us all to think it is the hotspot but it just isnt. Good thing George Maloof has his basketball players and Britney Spears staying there all the time...

I did love Holly openly rolling her eyes when Gramps started talking about his damn red chair again.

I finally caught Kendra's birthday episode and I snorted when Holly had to make the excuse "we've been celebrating Hef's birthday for 2 months, now whenever he sees candles he automatically blows them out" (or something like that). I think Holly makes lots of excuses for Gramps. And it will only get worse from here.

I don't understand all the Palms placement in things either. I've been and the minute i walked in to the place i had this feeling of complete lameness. All i saw were wannabe hipsters, drunken college girls, and men in their 30's and 40's buying drinks for the college girls.

Im going to Vegas next week for work and have zero desire to spend penny # 1 in that place. I went a couple years ago and it was awful, the Ghostbar is small, the location is way off the strip, and the clientele are mostly idiots who think they are staying at a W hotel but cant really afford it.

The older guys there are lecherous and the casino is tiny.

The Wynn isn't right on the strip either. In Vegas, it doesn't really matter where you *stay* it's where you party, and the Palms bars are still pretty big.

I'd say Pure (Caesar's) is the place to be though.

Ugh, what drives me nuts about that episode is the presence of Hef's brother. He creeps me out. On the E! True Hollywood Story, he had this creepy grin on his face as he described all the sexy Playmates that Hef has bedded. I just picture him roaming the halls of the Mansion at night, peeking through keyholes, watching Hef with his girlfriends. ::shudder::

I would imagine that that would be fairly boring. Girls who look lots better airbrushed, pretending to enjoy themselves while Hef lies there.

Maybe there is someone assigned to hold a mirror under Hef's nose to make he's still breathing? Kind of like the apprentice positon to the Penis Wiper Offer (Holly).

What is a Bunny Mother? Is it a mother of one of the bunnies or like the equivalent of the "mother" of frat/sor in college? They flashed to one woman by the pool and she had that title under her name.

For a season finale this was crap. I agree with you that it was just a plug for the club.

I also must add that the blue bikini Bridget had on did nothing for her. When she was turned I wanted to cover her to prevent the little fat roll from showing. I think she's a very attractive woman but to be on national tv and have that showing... But then again being next to Holly and Kendra would make any woman look fat.

Yes, it is - it's right next to the Venetian.

I watched this episode on my small tv, but please tell me she wasn’t ironing an expensive silk dress. I kept yelling at her to put a towel between the iron and the dress because you know she cranked that up to high and started at it.

I loved that too. It’s like he get’s all whispery like it’s the first time he’s ever said it when he talks about the damn chair/round bed/typewriter/etc.

I meant it's not in the center of the action, like where Caesar's, Flamingo, Bellagio etc are.

Did anyone besides me think that Kendra was really going to try ironing that dress while she was still wearing it?

That would have been great!
To see her burn herself while ironing her dress doing her little butt shake stripper dance?
Comedy.

I am going to vegas for work too in Jan. Staying at the bellagio. Yipee. Anyway, so not going to the palms. Ick. It always looks kind of dirty to me. And that is saying something cause I have seen it a bunch of times on tv. Every time I think of it, I think icky real world and their gross behavior. Now, I think gross perv men and little dressed women. '

So, icky men, spilled drinks and fake boob girls. ICKY. And they want me to pay. Now, don't they think I will be there long enough to spend my money. Or do they think I will look around and go ick and leave....

I am sure that this was posted awhile back...but could someone direct me to where I can read Jill Ann: Upstairs online? I saw that someone said that you can read it online. I went to buy it from Amazon, and the cheapest copy was $147.00!!!!! It must be out of print.

Also, I laughed harder than ever when Gizzy was wrapped up like a burrito - having her teeth cleaned!

Technically, the "center of the action" in Vegas is currently at/just south of the intersection of the Blvd. and Spring Mountian. Wynn (with Tryst still doing very well), the Venetian(Tao), and the Mirage (Jet is always busy and the new Love show has kind of given the place a rebirth of sorts) all host the current spots. There is no action at all at the Flamingo and the chances of Kevin Federline showing up at Pure are good enough for me to say avoid it for another couple of months.

At strip clubs, there's someone called a House Mom. She takes care of costumes and little snacks and general stripper drama/crying fits. That's what I thought about when I heard the phrase Bunny Mother.

swhite ~ the link is back on page 139. Reading it changed the way I view TGND.

Back on page 139? My screen shows we're in the low 100s... What am I misreading?

Its still on page 139 (?) ~ but here you go:
Jillann's book "Hefnerland"

I think that's about right. The Playboy clubs used to have a lot of rules for the girls, and the Bunny Mothers enforced a strict demerit system.

The restaurant on the top floor was pretty good, but pricey. The view was good too. Ghost Bar SUCKED!

All the Palms placement on the show must have to do with their new Playboy tower.

I'm going to need for the girls to wear something that was not put out by the Playboy line. Seriously. They make good enough money to find something nicer and age appropriate.

The only place I've seen sell the clothing line was AJ Wright's (not sure if this is all over) and Marshall's. And they're usually on clearance.

I wonder how long the Playboy club will be in business. After Hef croaks, or the Palms becomes less popular, will the club still be a viable commodity?

I wish we could have heard from Christie Hefner. She's probably more interesting than H, B, or K.

You know, I love Vegas and all the glitz of its hot casinos and clubs, but that Playboy club didn't look remotely fun or like a place I could see my pals and I spending an evening---it just seemed so gaudy and outdated in there. But then again, everything about The Palms is completely overhyped and overrated, so I'd expect no less.

Come to think of it, I'd even bet that the Hooters casino is WAY more fun and less expensive/pretentious than the Playboy Tower at Palms...and I'd much rather be served chicken wings by a fun gal in orange hotpants and a matching bow-tie than be served overpriced/watered-down cocktails by some bitchy ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner's dressed in an ill-fitting bunny costume.

Thank you. I don't see anything remotely flattering or sexy about the bunny costumes. Even the much-regaled Roberto Cavelli ones. The cut on the hip is so dated and makes even super skinny girls look hippy and lumpy. Ain't nothing sexy, EVER, under any circumstance, about camel toe. The black pantyhose don't help at all. I thought the new Cavalli ones would be hipper, sexier, and more flattering but I just didn't see it. If Hef retains creative control, he probably shot down every hot idea Cavalli had.

And the bunny dip. Ouch. Can you imagine doing that 100 times a night in 5" heels? I can just imagine the lower back and knee problems these women have after a month on the job.

I think we can say Hef really doesn't like women.

My favorite part of this latest episode was when Kendra and friend were frolicking in the pool to the sheer delight of Hef and Keith and Holly was up on that balcony yelling "Hey you guys everyone left me! I'm all alone!" And Hef made some reply like "You're never alone!"

She just had to get their attention away from the bouncing boobies and back onto herself. And Kendra and friends just kept splashing away.

**Edited to Add: They better do a "made for tv" movie about this right quick - Jamie Lee Curtis MUST play Christie Hefner. The resemblance is striking!

Just saw Kendra's clip on the NFL Network....I'm semi-surprised after the "wardrobe malfunction" debacle & the whole Terrell Owens/Nicolette Sheridan towel thing before Monday Night Football last year, that they would bring on a playboy chic and have her giving naked pictures of herself to Rich Eiason, but what do I know.

One thing for sure - the girl does know her football. her picks were great.

To watch, go to www.nfl.com/video and then make sure you click on "video features" (not game highlights) and scroll down a bit until you see "Kendra Wilkinson of The Girls Next Door makes her picks" and click on that.

I think its funny how in the "bunny hunt" episode Bridget said how there was alot of girls that were obviously not bunny material. "You can tell from across the lawn...that is not a bunny" How come she can't see that in herself, no matter which way you see her Bridget is not PLAYMATE material. Sorry Bridg.

That's the beauty of cable television.

I finally caved and ate Arby's this weekend. I can't even tell you how good it tasted.

Same thought came to my mind more than once. Maybe she feels that would be very dishonest?

I doubt she's concerned about being dishonest. Wonder why old Hef hasn't had a vasectomy? After all, that would ensure that none of the "girls" got pregnant.

I wonder if they had to sign some sort of waiver saying if they did get pregnant without Hef's consent that he would not have any responsibility for the offspring. Anyway, if JillAnn and Izabella's books are true Holly can't get preggers the way she's having sex anyway.

Maybe he has and just hasn't told Holly so that she could hold onto her dream of having a little Hef (thus keeping her with him).

Legally, an agreement where a man doesn't have to pay child support cannot be upheld. It's been attempted, and failed. The law believes that child support belongs to the child, therefore the mother cannot sign away that right before or after conception.

About the supposed "contract", all the books and interviews agree that none of Hef's girls sign agreements before entering into "romantic" (and I use the term VERY loosely) relationships with him. The girls stay in line because of fear of Hef's reprisal and being banished from his sunshine and roses. They are allowed to say whatever they want as long as they are willing to be ostracized from the Playboy community.

leesha ~ that's just one of the things I found so interesting in JillAnn's book. It's rather remarkable there hasn't been more press from former bed partners, offical girlfriends and general hanger-oners.
