I read in a magazine that Holly Madison, Hef's fiance, admits that she got a nose job, as well as breast implants back when she and Hef were first together. I was kind of surprised to find out that he'd go out with a woman BEFORE she got breast implants. She said that he didn't want her to get them because he said he's seen so many plastic surgeries that went wrong.
She said that both the surgeries were crazy painful.
I just that was interesting. Most stars don't admit to getting plastic surgery.

I have to be honest with you... I watched the show for the first time last night and... Why is this show popular with women here on the forum?
Please help me ladies. I can understand why men would want to watch it (uh, duh). But, it's so obviously exploitative to women and the "3 girls' are portrayed as such vacuous bimbos (especially that Kendra- who actually thanked and kissed her own fake boobs last night!! ).. I'm stunned that women would find it so fascinating. Please don't throw things- I'm really curious. I know I only caught a few episodes of it, so maybe I'm missing something. But, I actually felt embarrassed watching it. And trust me, I've had my share of guilty pleasures (Flava of Love being one), but this show will not be one of them.

I love it Shaz! I like it because their lives are so fascinating, they are doing things like travel, party, meeting famous people, basically living a fun filled lifestyle My faves are Kendra and Bridget. Kendra is so young and fun, she is a bimbo and the things she says and does makes me laugh! My Husband thinks she is well pretty and fit. Bridget is not a bimbo, she has a degree and a career plan. Holly genuinely loves Hef, she just wants to have his children. I really do find this show compelling viewing!

But, I actually felt embarrassed watching it. And trust me, I've had my share of guilty pleasures (Flava of Love being one), but this show will not be one of them. This is not appointment TV for me. I have just caught some episodes here and there. I think what interested me is that these three women are all with this super old, gross guy. What makes them think he's so great? But since then I've noticed that Holly is the control freak of the group. They play that down on the show, but I've heard that she and Kendra hate each other's guts. And she only puts up with Bridget because she kisses Holly's butt. Bridget seems like the fakest person I've ever seen. She talks to everyone like they're 3 years old, but with all this sexual stuff in it. She giggles at everything, not matter how stupid it is. It's totally bizarre. It just trips me out that they think that Playboy is so glamourous. My whole life Playboy was this sleazy thing that insulted women while treating them as nothing but objects to lust after. But Holly acts like when she was growing up Playboy was this ultimate goal to get to. Personally, I think that she wants to have kids with Hef so that she can have some security and be distinguished among his many girlfriends as more, as the mother of one of his children. Think about the fact that Holly started at working at Hooters, then was in a Hawaiin Tropic type bathing suit context. That's how she got invited to the mansion and first met Hef. Kendra seems stupid, rude, and mean. As for her kissing her breasts, I think that a lot of women who get implants see them as the key to attention and opening certain doors. I think that now Playboy is much more mainstream and I think that's a reflection of how sleazy the whole culture has gotten. They treat women like they're supposed to be surgically enhanced and waxed within in a inch of their lives to be attractive and valuable. The Playboy image of women is that we should undergo dangerous and extremely painful procedures be worth anything. Sharon, to me the show is just bizarre thing to see, just like the girls on Flava of Love. Hef treats the girls like they're idiots. I know that a lot of men watch it cuz the girls are hot and a lot of women look up to them. But to me, it's just a spectacle.

Well my view point is this. I dont think Hef is sleazy he just enjoys the company of women and has done so for many many years. He likes to be around the girls because this is natural to him as he has been doing it for many years. The girls keep him young and it makes him happy. He enjoys Kendra's company because he finds her entertaining. He has things in common with Holly and Bridget. Yeah sure its kind of weird as he is 81 and you would think these girls would rather be with males of their own age but he has shown them a totally different world. Travelling around the world, fabulous parties, meeting famous people, lavished with money (I also want to say they are rich themselves) etc... many women find their lifestyle exciting and entertaining. I know they have had cosmetic surgery but most female celebs in Hollywood have had some sort of surgery, this is considered the norm in Hollywood. The Girls arent doing anything that other female celebs arent doing. To be fair surgical breast enhancement is becoming normal within society. I know 2 people who have had it done and it is become more popular (not for me I hasten to add!). As regards to Playboy and sleaze I cant really say, but nowadays there are many mags for men with naked ladies in, Nuts, Zoo to name a few... If the women want to do it its up to then. Women are more in control and inderpendent than they were a a good few years ago. They are not being mis-treated, taken advantage of, they know exactly what they are doing. Playboy is the first and main mag. If I were to strip for a mag then it would definately be for Playboy. What about our Charisma and Mercedes, they bared all. I think Holly really does love Hef and wishes the other two werent around, she tells the viewers all the time. She also wants his baby, she is in love with him. Bridget and Kendra dont love Hef they just care for him, and are so grateful for the opportunities he has given them. I bet they havent even shared a bed with him. As for Kendra kissing her breasts thats her all over, she is mad and she is very very comfortable in her own skin. I take it you wont be joining my forum Maria?

I have only seen this show a few times and I have to say that I was mildly entertained. I won't be setting the TVio mind you but if the show is on and I have nothing better to do I will watch it. Of the 3 girls I like Bridgette the best, I do not know why but she makes me smile. I find Holly more mature than the others and it is very clear that she indeed Loves Hef. Kendra on the other hand is just crazy and a bit immature which makes for TV ratings. As for Hugh Hefner...the man is a legend. He has always loved the company of Beautiful women and has made no apologies for it. He has always had his girls around so these 3 are just the most recent in a long line of live in girl friends. I remember back in the 70's his live in girl friend was Barbie Benton who for the time was quite popular though not the media frenzy as these 3. I figure Hef is 81...rich beyond measure and his generosity is well known so if he wants to surround himself with 3 beautiful women and live 'the playboy lifestyle" then more power to him. As for the magazine itself; I do not see where it degrades women if anything it tends to put women on a pedestal. The Nude layouts and pictorials have always been very tastefully done. The Photography has always been beautiful and artistic right from the very start when Marilyn Monroe was the very first Playboy centerfold all the way to the present. The photos in fact remind me a lot of Pin ups of the 1940's. Another difference with Playboy in comparison to it's competitors is the writing, articles written by well known and respected writers even a few Pulitzer Prize winners have graced Playboy's pages since the beginning. I won't argue that Playboy tends to objectify women but then so does Hollywood and society in general. It is one thing to objectify women quite another to degrade them. I am not saying that objectifying women is good or acceptable (which I am not) or that it sends the proper message to young women (that is a subject for another debate) but Playboy is a Men's magazine and that is what men as a whole like to do...Look at beautiful naked women. Compare Playboy to some of the magazine's competitors (Hustler and Penthouse being the biggest) and you will see what I mean. The photos in those magazines definitely degrade women in the worst sence...not only in the writing but degrading poses and pure sleaze. I will admit that I do owe a bit of gratitude to Playboy magazine. Back when I was learning how to draw the human figure; there weren't a lot of nude models (male or female) available to practice drawing. My art teacher suggested having my dad pick up a copy of Playboy for me to draw the models from. LOL at first my mom was dead set against it but after she saw the beautiful photo layouts and the quality of the magazine itself she agreed (even though she still wasn't fond of the idea) I had a subscription to the magazine for about 5 years (until I was old enough to buy it myself and by then I didn't need it for reference anymore) So drawing Playboy's nude models helped me learn how to draw.
Just a bit of Trivia...Other Famous actresses that have graced the pages of Playboy magazine... (besides Charisma, Mercedes, Holly, Bridgett and Kendra) Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Bridgette Bardot, Farrah Fawcett, Suzanne Sommers, Barbie Benton, Ursula Andress, Bo Derek, Pamela Anderson, Dorothy Stratten, Most of the James Bond girls, Madonna, Anna Nicole Smith... just to name a few...there are a lot more but my memory escapes me at the moment...LOL ;D
