Alrite, I might be shooting myself in the foot with this post since technically I am up for a gig with Playboy ... and no, not for posing ... dude, do you think I'd sleep with Hef? PUH-LEASE! His software is not compatible with my hard drive. FOR SURE!
I digress ...
I've been going to Playboy parties for years. I love the mansion, its literally one of my favorite places to visit in all the world. You're just taken care of so well. The shuttle in, to all the security there, all the guys are on their best behavior, and the women are just so unbelievably breathtaking - it is something you have to experience before you die. Just period end of sentence. The grounds alone are reason enough to go and visit ... incredible incredible incredible.
All that being said, I posted the other day about Hef's engagement when I saw it pop up in my twitter feed ... but I gotta say, there's something incredibly sad about the entire situation. I am totally going on a hunch, but this has got to be a complete publicity stunt. I captured his meeting with Crystal, ANNDDD I've seen them at SO many parties since they've met, and something just isn't sitting right. He not only doesn't seem in love with her, he barely seems to like her. Let alone the fact that the girl has had SO much plastic surgery she is almost completely unrecognizable. I speak no ill will for anyone, and am really not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just wanted to merely point out that there is something just so incredibly tragic about this scenario. I am by NO means an expert on love ... haha clearly ... but I am damn good at reading body language, and figuring out how to read between the lines ... and this entire everything just wrecks of a publicity stunt. Changes coming to Playboy? Health scare? I don't know ... something is up.
Dude, strictly from a PR perspective wouldn't it have made more sense for him to marry Holly since she had such an interest in the magazine as a whole, and the public clearly loved her - would have been smart and I feel like a bit of a smoother transition to have her take things over as Hef passes into his twilight years. (Again, strictly from a PR perspective. The parties at the mansion are just as big of a draw as the magazine itself - since it is rented out so much throughout the year.) Of course, he would have had to divorce his last wife, Kimberly Conrad, sooner with whom he had two sons Marston and Cooper. Dude, she lived next door to Hef in one of the bunny houses until earlier this year when they officially filed for divorce and she moved to Reno.
Something. Doesn't. Make. Sense. 1 and 1 is not equalling 2 here. Again, not normally my style to call this type of situation out, considering I do genuinely love Playboy - but it just angers me watching friends of mine who are gay fight so hard for their rights to marry, while others use it for press or financial profit.
PS. Here are some pics I snapped moments after they met. I doubt you could have called it love at first sight, as Crystal is on the left ...
Just keeping it real, man ... just keeping it real.
