Hugh Hefner is Not Blind

Hugh Hefner, pictured here with three Rhodes Scholars, is not blind. He is wearing those shades to look fashionable. Whether or not he actually manages to pull off that look is immaterial, as he is 82 years old -yes, 82- and he keeps company with people like those pictured here. He does not have to pay for their company, either, as I imagine your average 82 year old guy would have to do in order to achieve this level of , um , company. One of the three in the picture is Mr. Hefner's former main squeeze, who is referred to in the gossip columns as his former lover. I don't know which of the three it is, and I don't think it much matters, as they all appear to be blessed with or have acquired similar qualifications.

The first edition of Playboy Magazine was published in 1953, featuring Marilyn Monroe, who, had she not croaked 46 years ago, would be the same age as Mr. Hefner, and would not likely be displacing any of the companions in the photo.

I was in the process of assembling various Hefner factoids in order to explain in some depth who he is and what he has accomplished. Then I took another look at the picture, and it struck me that Mr. Hefner is (A) given credit for having a recent former lover, an unusual credit for 82 year old men considered as a group, and (B) the grandmother of said former lover is likely to be younger than Mr. Hefner.

That is all.

The "main squeeze" is Holly, all the way to right. However, I think they were technically all former lovers. Holly apparently has since moved on to Chris Angel, the magician once linked in the tabloids to Cameron Diaz and Britney spears. Holly seems to have been legitimately in love with Hef, and had indicated to him several times that she wanted their future together to include marriage and children. Hef refused to get married, but they did try to conceive a child; however, surprise surprise, that attempt failed. Also, you mentioned the looks that these women have "acquired," and in the case of Holly, that is the perfect word to use. See the following site for some "before" pictures: http://cosmetic-makeovers.com/2007/02/23/holly-madison-alters-her-face

As for the other two, Kendra and Brigitte, I think they are still living in the mansion but are no longer romantically involved with Hef either. Kendra is straight up white trash (I think she is 22) and its really no surprise to anyone that she shacked up with an 82 year old to get out of whatever hellhole she was living in. Brigitte, on the other hand, is older than the other two, but she's dumb as rocks, which makes her endearing, actually.

Hef, though no longer involved with any of the three, has himself moved on to...yep, you guessed it, 19 year old Playmate twins. At the moment I am at work and unable to perform a thorough search to provide a link with pictures, but if you google "hefner twins" you should be able to find photos of the 82 year old's current lovers.

The breadth of your knowledge never ceases to amaze me, and the insight and candor you display is highly entertaining.

Have you hit a golf ball yet?

Holly looks like a young Stevie Nicks in that dress. Are you sure your subconscious isn't being overly critical because of the logo behind Stevie; After all, they must be very nice; whereever they go, they seem to draw a crowd.

You have a sharp eye, indeed! I didn't notice the logos. To be honest, if it wasn't for the weird shades, I wouldn't have noticed Hefner...

And another thing, where does one buy those blue dress shirts with the white collar circa 1984?

Those might be custom made? The girls are probably pretty handy with a needle and thread, you know, doing things around the mansion.
