I think you may be on to something there...eeeew

And it goes along with Hef telling Kendra on one episode before kissing her: "You're my little baby!" Baby? Vomit. I think it might have been the ep when they talked about her and the Eminem incident.

It grosses me out whenever Hef refers to any of the girls as "baby." All three of those girls could be Hef's GREAT-GRANDBABIES, and for him to refer to them as such just gives me the heebs.

I think Kendra lies awake at night and comes up with new ways to show the cameras and the audience just how uncouth and trashy she is. The humping of one's friend while yelling, "how do you like that? HUH?" like a bizarre blonde rapist is just CHARMING. I'm going to teach my daughter to wake up her little friends in a similiar manner. she's only four, but it is never to soon to impart such matters of decorum.

Whoa! Is that Hef's real hair in the last photograph? Dorothy Stratten was absolutely beautiful. Until The Girls Next Door came on, she is who i would think of when someone said Playmate. I'm probably wrong on this, but i thought the necklaces were just a retro thing Holly was trying to bring back and in the process of it all made it sound like she was the one who invented them. She seems to like raiding the storage areas, a good example of that is the t-shirt she was proudly showing off from an event held before she was born.

Dorothy Stratten was a beautiful girl. Hers is a tragic, sad story. I think all wanna be playmates and playmates should be told her story to see just how wrong things can go with the leeches in this world.

Dorothy Stratten was gorgeous. I actually think Holly is quite pretty, much prettier than the other two, but she still has that uber-fake look (the white blonde hair, the heavy makeup) that Hef seems to want in all his GFs now. Dorothy Stratten always looked like a lady. You can find some clips on her on YouTube, if you can't bear to sit through Star 80 again (I can't--not bcause it's a bad movie but it's just such unbearable to watch--everyone in it is a little too good).

That girl is very sad too---remember how she went on to describe that very same Marti Gras party, and she and her boyfriend got kicked out of the VIP section a few times, and some of the Playboy girls were even heard commenting something akin to, "She's nobody, just some hanger-on who shoes up at all the parties..."?
I just can't believe how candid she is about how pathetic she ended up coming across to everyone at Playboy.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who found Kendra's football-themed PB shoot completely retarded-looking! That was not sexy in the least...but then again, I didn't find Bridgette's King Kong shoot or Holly's Marylin shoot that much sexier either.
Do guys really even buy into these "theme" shoots via Playboy anyway? Seems that a guy would much rather just enjoy looking at a naked/half-naked lady without all the goofy regalia...

I find it gross that Hef was 60 when Kendra was born.

I just saw the one where they took the train to visit Kendra's mom and grandma. It was funny. Grandma was a hoot saying "yeah my stomach hurts too but it's because I'm hungry-I eat earlier than this". The whole thing with Kendra "this is my hood ya'll" was so pathetic. It's one thing if you act "hood like" because you grew up that way i.e. Kid Rock, Eminem; but that girl is as white bread as the come so stop acting BuckWild already.

Funny you should say that. Bridgette reminds me very much of my 9 year old cousin!

Dorothy Stratten was from the time when Playboy was idolozing "the girl next door". Beautiful but natural looking.

Nowadays you'd have to live next door to a whorehouse for the girls to fit into the theme.

I have a theory on why Hef likes Kendra. Jill-Ann's book (among other sources) said Hef was into guy-on-guy porn, right? Maybe, since Kendra is something of a tomboy (at least compared to the other two), Hef views her as his little boy-toy. OK, I just grossed myself out - I am going to huddle into the fetal position and rock myself in a corner now....

I saw a documentary about Hef—maybe that one on A&E—and Hef’s original concept for the magazine was that girl-next-door look, and his magazine made the point that nice girls like sex too and with a little makeup and hair styling look quite fabulous. Barbie Benton was a sort of wholesome and girl-next-door type. I wonder why his whole preferred look devolved into the peroxided, fake-boobed, pubic-hair free blow-up doll look that his magazine promotes now. It’s so creepy. Probably part of the backlash against women in the workplace.

Well, I hate to defend Holly because she’s an idiot and all, but I’m pretty sure she’s not taking credit for designing the bunny shaped necklace. I think playmates have been getting those since the beginning of time. I thought her design was the bunny charm with the rhinestones on it, and I thought there was another charm on the necklace too, a martini glass or something. She’s using the term “designed” pretty loosely, I'm thinking she "designed" the necklace as much as JLo "designs" her clothing line. And Holly was also damn pretty impressed with herself for coming up with a photo spread that just copied a scene from a Marilyn Monroe movie, and Kendra was impressed with herself for coming up with her signature finger-in-the-mouth pose. These chicks have pretty low standards for themselves. They remind me of kids when they're all thrilled with themselves the first time they go pee-pee in the potty. It’s kind of sad in a way.

These women are vile examples of what women these days are promoting themselves as. I have deleted this show on my tivo. These women have the IQ of a grape, and they aren't even that pretty! You would think Hugh would surround himself with the best of the best. Instead, he surrounds himself with the trailer park!

The best of the trailer park!

Understatement of the year!
I always manage to tune in to the "Career Dazed" episode right when Holly is telling us how her daily schedule--consisting of checking her e-mails each morning, and "keeping track of the girls' schedules"--renders her WAY TOO BUSY to have a career.

I thought Holly's "career" consisted of designing tacky ugly and hideous knee socks.

That is funny you bring Vanna White up-that was the first playboy I ever saw. One of my friends dad received playboy and we found it one afternoon and being curious we looked. I can remember my friend shaking her head and saying "Why Vanna, Why did you do this?" I think it came out around 1986 or 1987.



I wonder what Kendra's schedule looks like:
4PM Wake up
4PM to 8PM Shake booty in front of mirror
8PM Dress
8:15 to 9:00 shake booty in front of mirror
9:00 show up late to an event and act bored
10:00 to 2AM: Shake booty in front of mirror
2AM to 4PM sleep

OT but I couldn't let this slide:

Kid Rock comes from an upper middle class family and grew up in a decent suburb.

I loled at Holly calling Kendra on her "hood" background.

I think it is very interesting that Hef looked at the year on Kendra's childhood videotapes and remarked upon the fact that she was 11 in 1995. And Hef being the exact same age as Kendra's grandpa? Ew.

I think it is very telling that Kendra's mom said she would have no problem if Hef called her to replace Kendra as one of his top girlfriends. She laughed, but it seemed like an honest comment.

And the KFC? I dunno about anyone else, but I can usually spot KFC a mile away. It has a distinct smell and taste, so I'd be really surprised if no one even noticed.

KFC does have a distinct "taste" if you will. It must be all the chemicals. Besides, fried chicken isn't even that difficult to make. Kendra's mom is just lazy, or stupid, or both. Like mother, like daughter.

As for Kid Rock..his dad owned a car dealership and was very successful at it. Kid Rock is just a poser.

IMHO, Kendra and Eminem would be perfect together! He likes trailer trash, bleached blonde girls and she likes rappers...PERFECT! Now all Kendra has to do is wait for Hef to kick the bucket and then she can continue her gold digging eslewhere.

As I remember, the Vanna White pictures in Playboy were attractive and erotic, but not nasty. I thought Vanna doth protest a bit too much, like she was trying to have it both ways. IMO, there are a lot of things wrong with Hef, Playboy Ent., and these girls, but the magazine has never published photographs that are vulgar

To cook it just right fried chicken isn't all that easy to cook. You have to time everything and watch your heat to make sure you don't burn the skin while the inside still isn't done, or drying the chicken out. It's not like cooking mac and cheese. I have to pass on KFC. I refuse to eat there or any of their affiliates (Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) not just on principle and cruelty to animals but the smell of KFC turns my stomach.

Kendra and Eminem? Even Marshall has standards. Kendra would be step down from Kim.

Ooh, Hottie's nasty ass chicken on Flavor of Love 1 just came to mind. I tried to fry chicken and it looked beautiful on the outside but was still raw inside.

There's better chicken than KFC though. I think I'd have called a caterer.

But KFC is a lot cheaper than getting it from a caterer.

Does anyone know if there will be another season?

I believe it was announced there will be.

I know Holly said she had 3 years to get pregnant since she wanted a child before age 30, so I'm waiting to see how that pans out.

I think she's pathetic.
Wow, she makes the current bunch of gals look like cheap tramps by comparison! Not that they aren't, mind you...

Playboy is going to ride this series into the ground. I hope that Kendra and Bridgette had the sense to negotiate a better deal for themselves.

I watched a TV movie about her years ago but never remembered Dorothy's name. I know Hef spoke to her about her husband when she was alive, but has he remarked about Dorothy and her murder since?

I thought Hef requested KFC, because he'll only eat a few foods, and they have to be prepared and cooked the way he likes them? I'm pretty sure he does send exact instructions about what food is acceptable ahead of time, like how he brings his own food to restaurants.
If I had the money Hef did I might be picky about my food too, but it certainly wouldn't be KFC, but then if Hef is as fussy about food as he is supposed to be, I'm not surprised if he requested KFC rather than eat a stranger's cooking, especially as Kendra's mom says she doesn't cook.

Bridget said the third season has already started filming and will air in March. One episode will be Christmas at the mansion.

I just read this and can not stop screaming:



This is a sign of the apocalypse, right?

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Strangely enough, this will be Hef's first child born out of wedlock. For as much as he was for a wild lifestyle, he was pretty traditional when it came to marriage before babies.

Good for Holly. Girl has devoted her life, and her face, and her breasts, and her dignity to a relationship with great-grandpappy, she should at least get set for life for it.

I am not worreid about Hef sharing his sperm with Holly. He has strung along several women with promises of babies -- Monkey Girl, anyone?

Anyhoo, Hef is so old that his sperm would just come out in puffs of funky smelling dust.

This might be just me, but I think it's kind of selfish of Holly to be so dead-set on having a baby with an 80-year-old man. I mean, how much longer will Hef really be around? The poor kid would lose his/her dad before even knowing him.

Using my secret decoder ring, I read this as "I don't know if at this age it is physically possible (given I had a secret vasectomy after my last kid was born and I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get the girls pregnant thru anal) but we've certainly talked about it (or rather I've pretended to listen while Holly babbles) and it's certainly a possibility (HA! the only possibility is that I will tell her that I'm considering it)."

I think this is old timer speak for "when Kendra and Bridget decide not to renew their contracts, we will continue the Girls Next Door by renaming it Girl Next Door and milking - er, rather devoting an entire season to Holly's attempts to have a baby."

Gah! I think I'm going to be seeek! There is no way that can be real, unless, of course, this is the hok for the next season of this show.
"Bwah!" and also, "Eww!".

LOL

So Hef is continuing to string this girl along? When will she get it? Sadness.

I'm watching the Barbie Benton episode--first off I think she should've kept her darker hair. BB was a truly natural beauty, and I think she looked fantastic with the dark hair. Second--okay, I know editing and blah blah blah, but she really did seem to be acting rudely. If she was actually talking to Hef about Holly's tattoo as she sat right there, on the other side of Hef--that's rude. She just seemed a little too "ooh, Hef, remember when?" I guess I might be that way if I were seeing my ex-BF of 8 years, but I would try to be a LOT more sensitive about it.

Plus she talked about Holly and her "horrible" tattoo for what seemed like three days (seriously, the sun was going up and down in the background the entire conversation) while Holly was sitting right next to her.

That translation was too damn funny and totally true! HA!

He is so stringing her along. If he wanted to allow her to be knocked up he'd simply call a doc to harvest his sperm and then fertilize her egg in a dixie cup and then implant it. The whole thing takes like 10 mintues. He could probably hire someone to come over and do it at the mansion.

(And no I am not kidding I dated a fertility doctor who literally owned his own sperm bank. Its just not that hard to whip a kid up in the lab.)

This show is pretty fast and loose with the editing, but I was shocked at how much of that rude footage was real. Most of the shots had both of them talking (the misplaced voiceover are painfully frequent on these shows), and plenty of them had both Barbie and Holly in the shot. The "do you remember who we saw boxing in New York?" while Holly sits right there was beyond desperate.

But it does cost $15,000. Each try. Remember there's no guarentee that it will plant.

ETA: I bring up price to point out that the Playboy empire and Hugh Hefner are supposedly very broke.

Very true, its very expensive...but I assume Hef can pay the bill if he really wants to do the kid thing.

I didn't start watching TGND until the second season and I got the first disc of season one from Netflix and have been watching it tonight. I have to say, my perceptions of the girls have shifted a bit.

It made me like Kendra more -- it's clear that she is in it for the fun, "I'm 20 years old and I'm a bit of a rebel around here." She's clearly not in love with Hef, as evidenced by when he leaned in to kiss her and she pulled away and continued walking in the episode where they found out they were going to be in the magazine. She's actually smart in that she is young and is having fun -- and a free ride no less -- and will still be young enough to go do something else when she tires of living there and taking care of nursing-home-resident Hef. I also like that Kendra hasn't changed herself living in the mansion; she's still the loud, athletic girl that doesn't like baking cookies.

Speaking of cookie cutters, I really am starting to not be able to stand Holly. She is so deluded. If she and her geriatric puffin have a baby puffin, that isn't going to entitle her to jack crap when he dies and his children, namely Christie, are the heirs of his estate. Can you say Anna Nicole Smith? I can just see Holly in court fighting for money.

The main reason why I can't stand Holly now is that she knew what she was getting into when she became Hef's girlfriend -- he is NOT into monogamy. He has always had an entourage of women following him. She is not going to change him, and it's asinine that she thinks she can. He is not going to settle down with a picket fence and a kid or two just because she has sold herself on the idea of marrying him. And yet she is so jealous that it borders on hilarious. She even admitted she thinks it would be better if the other girls left and it was just her and Hef.

She clearly can't stand Kendra. She seems to tolerate Bridget, and I think that is because she doesn't percieve her as a threat; she is older than her, she has been rejected from becoming a Playmate, and she has other assets (i.e. an education). I think Holly thinks her role in life is to be Mrs. Hefner, but Bridget, as well as Kendra, will be just fine once ol' puffin dies.

The thing is, Kendra attracts Hef's attention moreso than Bridget; she is loud and lively (like on the RV on the way to the jazz festival), she is impulsive (like when she came crashing into the bedroom looking for "Napolean Dynamite" and Holly didn't even acknowledge her presence in the room) and she brings a different dynamic (like when she made all of those baskets in Vegas and Holly looked furious that she was getting so much attention).

Yes, Kendra is immature and sometimes a spaz -- i.e. losing Carmela's birthday present, thinking she lost her grill -- but she also is a girlfriend of Hef's, whether Holly likes it or not. Like I said, Hef is not ever going to become a one-woman kind of guy, and she isn't going to be able to dictate who he chooses as girlfriends.

Holy crap! Please just be leading that gold-digger on for another season...
Heh.

Oh, I dunno -- I rather enjoyed watching Holly(?) seething while that lady took all of Hef's attention away from her.
As long as none of the girls tried to gargle it, out of habit.

Ugh. As long as the "ride" has anything to do with an 80-year-old penis count me out--even if it is "free".



Thanks--I just threw up a little.

It was a combination of laughter and vomit for me, thanks.

And this appeared in an article on the Fox news site...



But he said this about having kids..

So, I have a bit more respect for the relationship that he has with her. It seems more genuine than I have given it credit for but kudos to Hef for being reluctant to have a kid at 80.
