At the top of the episode, while Bridget and Holly were tossing around ideas, the circus theme came up and Holly suggested, 'You should get, like, a fire-breathing midget or something.' Lo and behold, some 15 minutes later, there stood a fire-breathing circus midget behind a nude, dangling Bridget. But the absolute best part was seeing who else was in the pictorial with Bridget. She had some great photos taken while she posed hanging from a circular trapeze bar. Her love of retro circus acts gave us the setting and it suited her. Bridget had my favorite pictorial shoot in this episode. You might also want to add 'nakedness.' Though I'm not the biggest fan of Kendra, I can't deny the fact that when she's caked up with make-up, posing naked at sunset on a California beach, she does look pretty damn hot. Kendra gave us the quote of the evening with, 'The key to my pictures is sexuality.' When is that not the key to nude pictures? Are there models out there thinking, 'The key to my pictures for Playboy is economics'? Or, 'The key to my pictures is 18th century French literature.' Yes, Kendra, the key to your pictures is sexuality. It was a unique shoot and will likely please a lot of her fans. Defying death, Holly accentuated her nude poses by being wrapped up and locked in chains. Holly, who only recently learned to swim, chose to have her shoot underwater. Much of the rest of the episode was spent watching each of the women at their individual photo shoots.

We all have ours, but the series doesn't play favorites. And I was also happy to see we got the same amount of coverage for each of the girls. It was cool to see that with the digital cameras, the photographer could take a photo and then immediately see what it would look like on the cover, with the Playboy logo and all. It was neat to see the set up of the three shoots on the front lawn of the mansion. Watching the process unfold is always interesting, and it was true in this episode as well. Not only was this a great marketing ploy, but it also was a great representation of the girls and the reality series that made them famous. These would be shot in such a way that if you put all three covers together, you'd get one wide shot of the three ladies standing in front of the mansion. The other great idea Holly presented was to have three separate covers for each girl. The episode then graced us with a montage of shots from past Playboys. Kendra pointed out that in past pictorials, the three girlfriends always appeared together. He's seen them naked plenty of times.) The idea for the pictorial was great: each girl would get her own individual shoot. When Holly asked, 'Who wants to see us naked again?' the entire room raised their hands.

I just wish there were more options on TV for other female getaways that offer empowerment and success without anyone having to wriggle into a bunny costume.The episode started off with Holly and Bridget pitching the idea of a third pictorial to Hef and his buddies. I don’t want to extricate anyone from girly-girl paradise, just as I wouldn’t want anyone to separate me from my time with Terry Bradshaw and the gang every Sunday afternoon. The home itself is far from awe-inspiring, unless you’ve always wanted to live in something that resembles a giant humidor.Ĭall it jealousy, but I don’t believe for a minute that any of the three “girlfriends” - Bridget, Holly and Kendra - are involved with Hef in a sexual way, especially in these new episodes, in which the 81-year-old magnate looks one rum-and-coke away from being the title character in a remake of “Weekend at Bernie’s.” I was there to interview Hefner in the middle of the afternoon and the only “babe” I spied was a 62-year-old gardener trimming the hedges. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for one of those grotto parties where the only male competition is an inebriated Ron Jeremy. It may also be because I’ve visited the Playboy Mansion. Then again, I’ve never fantasized about being pampered by makeup artists and dressing up in low-cut gowns, at least not since my sophomore year of college. We’re very independent women with our own ideas and our own career expectations.

“I’m sure the hardcore feminist will say we’re trapped, but I think viewers see how empowered we are.

“I think they live vicariously through us,” she said in a phone interview from Los Angeles. “It’s every girl’s fantasy.”īridget Marquardt, one of Hef’s three live-in playmates, said the most enthusiastic fan response comes from women who constantly tell her that she’s inspired them to lose weight, go back to school and dream about gracing the magazine’s centerfold. “You’ve got three girls who are very pretty and intelligent, living in a mansion, going to parties all the time, having their pictures taken all the time and being waited on hand and foot,” said diehard fan Amanda Smith, a college student and mother of two in Knoxville, Tenn.
