b) Kendra seems to take her place as a girlfriend for granted, relative to the other two. She doesn't seem as entitled as, say, Izabella, but she also doesn't take pains to tip-toe around the Mansion like Bridget and Holly do (flying back and forth to Vegas in one day to get back in bed with Puffin?!?). She seems to feel free to stay out at the parties and drink and socialize, rather than acting like a Stepford GND. This is also mentioned several times in the first season by Holly. If you read Izabella's book, you get the sense that Holly and Bridget really worked for the positions that they have attained. Undoubtedly, they feel resentful that 18 year-old Kendra sweeps in, wearing nothing but paint and is moved in that week, with zero effort, and zero wranglings with the "Pussy Posse" of seven.
Totally.
Holly had to work YEARS to get herself into the BottomBitch position, memorizing lines from Casablanca, rearranging her face, and setting up washclothes and bowls for dickwashing -- and then Kendra gets the keys to the castle in just one weekend! BottomBitch had to be fumming!
Poor Bridget spent her nights not at the Mansion partying it up with celebs, but sitting by her phone waiting for that 2am bootycall.

I don't believe she forgot her undies, either. She just seems too proper for that (when on the job), and too many sites would have been on it!
That's
precisely why she would.

I can't wait for the new episode tonight- in the meantime, I'm watching reruns and overwhelmed by the complete idolization of all things Playboy by these women:
"It's the Playboy club, it's an institution"
"I'm so honored to be with Hef"
"Being in the magazine is such a wonderful thing, I'm so proud"
"We are really a part of Playboy history, and the Playboy family"
I'm paraphrasing here, but everything is truly pathetic- it is magazine where women pose without clothes- it is porn! It is not art, it is not journalism, it is nothing to be proud of.
Also, all their 'best friends' are playmates, or former ones- yeah right! Lots of the olderoneshave the most horrible plastic surgery- from the knife like cheek implants, to the Joan Rivers nose. Obviously, natural beatuy isn't a big thing.
In the new pictures, I think everyone looks really pretty, even though Holly def. has new boobs. Kendra looks less 'rode hard and put up wet' than usual. Hefner looks sleazy, senile, pasty and gray, washed out and dead.
Holly's crotch flash must have been semi-deliberate- how can you go out in a dress that short without knickers without guessing that's going to happen. Oh well, if that's what makes her happy, go for it.
Sigh, no matter how much I am offended by the existance and attitude of the GND, I can't stop watching. I need a support group or something.

The whole episode was a little too shmoopy for me. The rest of the season, if the previews are to be believed, has some more of the nonsense I tune in for.
Did Bridget get a boob job? She seems... Enlarged.
And I know this has probably been posted here before, but it's too good not to share.
Holly is crazy in the head!

Kendra is really growing on me- she's just having fun, dnacing, snowboarding, doing her thing. She reminds me of me, in that I just amuse myself however I want, and tend to ignore people who don't like it (once I did cartwheels in the mall to cheer me up because I was sad. It worked).
Anyway, Kendra, although dim, seems far more grounded than human doll Holly, who subverted her own personality, features and self to be number one to a whore of an old man. She also is more normal and more like someone I'd like to hang out with than freakish child-woman Bridget, who is 35 going on 7. I noticed her doll cradle in her room- pink and stuffed animals are one things, but a cradle? For christ's sweet sake, grow up. She really does seem like she could be a victim of childhood sexual abuse.
Otherwise, the episode was meh- same forced bonding and schmoopiness, same air of creepiness.

Oh, dear, I love this show way too much. Pure campy goodness with constant weird sexual overtones.
I wonder if the Snow-Hef had a wart to match the real thing...? (spoiler tagged for grossness)
I'm a sucker for Christmas. Really and truly. I enjoy schmaltz as much as Bridget. So this episode was like crack to me. Where to begin?
The fake gifting of bobble-heads was the most hilarious product placement ever because you could totally see "Oh my god, I am getting this crap from Hugh Hefner's girlfriends" running through all the Playmate house girls heads.
The superficial: Holly's hair looks better longer and less styled a la Marilyn Monroe. She looks a lot younger, and better, IMO. It also seems like she's toned down the weird wardrobe a bit, too--I think she looked prettiest in the Animal Kingdom sweatshirt and jeans. Kendra looks better this season, too, IMO--she's scraped off most of the eyeliner! Bridget, though...oh, Bridget. I love you and your hilarious personality, but you should take some aging lessons from Holly. And the Mean Girls style Santa costume was so uncreative--I was expecting more! Slutty reindeer, perhaps? Virgin Mary?
That girl Sarah who was at the Playmate House is adorable--she was the one visiting to test in one of the first episodes of the show. I inexplicably like her, a lot.
The house was gorgeous, but I had to laugh at the semi-snarky editing that showed plenty of shots of the Mansion staff setting everything up. At least the hot butler got to throw snowballs. I like him, too.
The charity thing answers our questions about whether or not TGND do any charity work. Probably more for the cameras, than anything, but I can't judge based off five minutes on TV about it. At any rate, I totally had the Christmas dress for the Addy doll Holly was playing with. Hee. Whatever the motivation, I'm glad those kids got the presents.
Does anyone know if TGND shoot for Playboy for a third time? The preview for the season looks like it has some Playboy-esque photo shoots in it.
And finally, because it has to be said, I will tune in just to find out why Bridget needs to bring a wash cloth for her butt. (Aside from the obvious.)

During Hef's trip down the sled run, anyone notice Holly's voice-over saying something like, "I love convincing Hef to do things he doesn't want to do". I wonder what else she meant? ;-)

Kudos to whichever editor showed one of the girls saying about Kendra's gift to Hef (the statue of the guy with the plunger on his head and a toilet roll dispenser where his genitals should be) "Where's his weiner?"
while "Silent Night" was playing.
Ah. Celebrating the anniversary of Jesus's birth,
Playboy style.

They caught her at a very bad angle sledding down that hill; her whole body looked enormous for some reason.

During a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest (which the footage was shown on some E! show), Holly confimed that she did indeed have some of Hef's frozen swimmers put away. I could have heard wrong, but I think it was for her to use
after he dies. But then again, considering how he's looking, she won't have to wait too long.

That's right! There were a bunch of kids around when she did that. Then again, if their parents are taking their kids to the Playboy mansion on
CHRISTMAS EVE - they shouldn't be too surprised with what may pop out. Seriously, didn't those people have homes and family of their own?

Are these women (past gfs included) that desperate to put up with indentured servitude? That's just insane. That's weird that you have to show up in person at a certain time of day to get your money. I wonder if Kendra oversleeps a lot and misses payday? That's pretty cold if you can't be at the mansion due to a family emergency and still can't get your money.
Who is allowed to live at the Playmate house and how many people can it house? I'm assuming it's not just for Playmates since Hef's ex-gf Cristol lives there. Why would an ex-gf live on the grounds? The whole thing is just weird. Is there a separate guest house? In JillAnn's book it seems that one of the gfs was living in a guest house type place with her daughter. Until reading JillAnn's book and excerpts of Izabella's, I thought the main gf was the only one sleeping with him since the exes tend to still hang around and come to events. I need a brain bleach just thinking about Hef having sex.
Hef seems to have relaxed the Christmas gift rules since the girls seemed to have some swanky gifts--Holly's tacky fur coat? I have a big problem with fur in general, but who needs a fur in So. Cal. anyway? Didn't one of the girls get some really nice diamond earrings? Was it Kendra?
Regarding the free plastic surgery... do they have a particular surgeon they work with or do the women seek out a doctor on their own? I would at least feel more comfortable with someone seeking out her own doc.
All I could think of was "Weekend at Bernie's" when the women would be hanging with Hef. He looks rough.
I want to see more of Bridget's cat.

I missed the first 8 minutes of the episode because I was watching Rome. I did want to say, however, that there was this one confessional scene where Kendra had her hair braided where she looked (gulp) naturally pretty. Did she dial back the hair color a few notches? Did she start using more conditioner? I feel strangely compelled to find out what happened to the straw wig.
Bridget looked just as I imagined her in her Santa suit, although she looks as if she's gained weight. I do give the girls props for not delivering the gifts themselves even though their Santa sucked. I'm trying to decide whether they didn't go because they wanted the kids to think it was Santa or just because they didn't want to go to the "ghetto" (ok, so I just answered my own question, moving on...).
The Hef gift giving scene...raise your hand if you smell corporate sponsors. (hand going up)
And is it just me or was anyone else wondering how they kept the snow from melting? Keep in mind I'm from Maryland and have never been on the West Coast. Here if it gets warm after it snows, the stuff melts faster than you can make a snowball.

I seriously doubt it was real. I also doubt the diamond earrings were real. I read somewhere (and one of the links in this thread yesterday reinforced this) that for Chrismas, Hef gives the girls X dollars to spend on each other, and they get stuff at the Playboy store. Great, now that I'm posting, I don't remember what he normally gets them, but he doesn't sound like a big spender. More collagen and saline? Although, I suppose that's not cheap.
All I'm saying is that to me, it looked like
this Chrismas was for the cameras, and wasn't typical of your regular Playboy Christmas. Also, Mondo looked THRILLED to be wearing that Santa suit. I do hope the donations weren't just for the camera. I hate to be that cynical. I giggle, though, to think of a priest opening an envelope with a check from Playboy Enterprises. Hee!

Keep in mind that the information that JillAnn and Isabella supplied about the rules is a few years old. Isabella even said that Holly was able to get a number of the rules changed, so now that it's just the three of them who's to say that Holly hasn't manipulated Hef to change things back? Or more to her liking?
I enjoyed the part when they were out looking a Christmas lights and were telling what their New Year's resolutions are. Kendra - "to be cleaner and more sophisticated". It will be interesting to watch how she changes over the season. Bridget - "to be more positive". Does she sense changes on the horizon? I don't remember what Holly's was.

I find this confusing- I think Holly wants to pop out a little Hefner while he's still alive to change the will to include the kid. I suspect her love will die with the old perv anyway, and while I can see a woman using the sperm of her dead husband who died unexpectedly after they had plans to conceive a child, I don't think H&H fit that category.
Tangent: why is not wearing undies so popular? I feel really weird without them, and would never wear a short dress sans knickers, Holly and Britney and Paris never seem to wear them. Wait, I think I answered my own question- it's a skank thing.

Kallyk, I don't get the no undies thing either. If you don't want to show panty lines, just wear a thong and if you're wearing something kind of thin, just wear skin-colored ones. These women can't use the excuse of 'oh you'll see my panties through this outfit'. It must be a skank thing.

I think Bridget and Holly's boobs look bigger because they both lost weight. THe snow looked really fun.
Also about the no panties I used to work with the women who swore wearing panties led to yeast infections. And she rarely wore panties and yet had infections all the time... So not sure where that logic came from... Maybe that is what Hef told Holly? I just can't think it is sanitary...

Mar 5, 2007 @ 3:40 pm
As long as you wear cotton (a breatheable fabric), you shouldn't get yeast infections. Didn't Izabella say that the women always got yeast infections from the baby oil? Ew. I need another brain bleach. lol!
I don't know if it has been covered on here, but the rumor is that Bridget is married to a Chad Marquardt who owns a successful store called Ooga Booga. Does anyone know much about it. Apparently, Chad is about 10 years older than Bridget.
