The Secrets of Playboy

One thing I didn't know: until a few years before he died Hef didn't own the Mansion, it was owned by Playboy Enterprises, for many years a public company, and he paid a big buck every month as the tenant. Probably to protect him against liability if somebody OD'd or some other bad shit happened there (which apparently was the case).

 

Playboy Inc. used to battle with the IRS about the mansion. The company would write of all the expenses as business expenses and Hefner would get all the benefits of living there tax-free.

 

Didn't Playboy rent out the mansion for parties? They weren't Playboy Parties, but just some company hiring Hef and the Bunnies to act a part.

 

Like Mar A Lago for the hideous. MAL is the Playboy mansion for the hideously ugly , the bloated and plastic surgery failures.

 

When I first started looking at Playboy in the 70's it was a huge magazine, with perhaps 200 pages. They would run three pictorials every issue. I always wondered how much more expensive to run a second playmate a month instead of another piece of really bad fiction. Are pages of photography that much more expensive to run?

 

When I was just out of law school I subscribed to Playboy for kicks since I lived alone; but one day it was hanging out of my mailbox at apt mailboxes and I was too embarrassed and cancelled.

 

So you were afraid people just wouldn't understand that you got it for the articles?

 

Wagging the dog

Hugh Hefner’s Ex-Girlfriend Claims She Saw Him Perform Sex Acts on Their Dog in Explosive Documentary

 

That episode was a tough watch. I suppose it's one thing to have to deal with Hef but when he brings all his buddies into it....ugh

 

Last night’s episode featured accusations of rape against Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby, Tony Curtis and Jim Brown

 

In her autobiography (the name escapes), Linda Lovelace wrote that Hefner was into bestiality in a big way. She was coerced into a public performance with a German Shepherd. Fortunately for her, another woman at the mansion told her how to act so the dog would not co-operate. Lovelace said Hefner had a huge collection of animal porn. She also described a bunch of other activities that left the impression Hefner was a perverse piece of crap.

 

That incident was described in one of the episodes
Said Linda was fed booze and Quaaludes
