It's nothing to brag about.

My favorite waitress at my favorite diner back home was a Playboy Bunny back in the day. She always wore her gold bunny necklace, so I asked her about it and she explained how she got it. She worked in the New York club in the 1960's and early 70's. She started working at the diner in the mid-70's and stayed til they closed down around 2005. I think her name was Sue, if I remember right, and she was a lovely woman.

It's nothing to brag about.

It's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

[triflex]

If someone sought out and was involved with High Hefner, it certainly is shameful.

Back in the 1960's and 1970's, these were incredibly sought-after jobs for women. Whatever happened after they were hired, was not publicized at the time.

[Laker14]

"sought out and involved with"? They were waitresses in his restaurants. The link said nothing about seeking out or being involved with. They served food and drinks.

Thank goodness the world is so full of the self-righteous people who feel superior enough to pass judgement on others.

In the early 1960s a very recent Playmate visited my fraternity house for some promotion, I cannot remember why. She was asked by a fraternity bother to sign her foldout which embarrassed her a bit. She was wearing a form fitting black sweater, miniskirt, and tall boots. She looked fabulous, as pretty as her photos, was a pleasant conversationalist and hung around quite a while. (OK, I just searched and found her photos and name.) Google is my friend!

During my post-divorce single years when I lived in Southern California I met and briefly dated a couple of former Playmates. Although in their 40s and 50s they had taken good care of themselves, still looked great and were recognizable from their magazine photos. They were both very nice ladies.

Thank you OP for posting. I just set my DVR to record the series. It will bring back memories of my younger years. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

There's a bit of a difference between slinging drinks and shedding your clothes for money (in some cases, a lot of money). I have no problem with either one. Both are marketable.

Interesting. I was wondering how you knew that these two ladies had working at Playboy clubs.

[Lindsyburnsy]

If you got it faunt it, isn't that the saying? She must have had it and well, some people never have.

Big difference in money and big difference in quality. :icon_wink:

[CWGUY]

:clap2: Hey won't it be a hoot if these two ladies are the 2 that are riding around in a red golf cart with a clipboard? I can see it now..... they're riding around and one is saying to the other "Who are we going to :censored: today?" :ohdear: :faint:

[Bilyclub]

Hefner made a fortune off stuff that is in PG movies nowadays. As far as things going on in that series, it's funny how they wait until a guy is dead so he can't defend himself. Hef was from Galewood a few blocks down from my Cragin.

The Villages sign

[kstew43]

Interesting. I was wondering how you knew that these two ladies had working at Playboy clubs.

they displayed The Villages sign when they were introduced, and you can see them riding aound the neighborhood in her golf club. She seems like a very lovely lady.

Is that because you know what that was all about, or because you make stuff up and then try and convince others that you have experience on the subject?

My girlfriend worked at the New York club at about the same time. Her name wasn't Sue. She was lovely too.

God gave us our bodies. Adam and Eve were both naked and it's really nothing to be ashamed of, I don't get why so many people are prudes

[Kgcetm]

The righteous still come out for Hefner. What a legacy.

[airstreamingypsy]

I'm watching the series, I have to say I admired Hefner back in the day, after seeing what Don Cornelius did to the playmates and knowing Hefner didn't ban him from the club, I am disgusted. He was a low life sleeze......

[Lindsyburnsy]

I’m old enough to remember a First Lady posing naked wearing a string of pearls for money. Shameful or earning a living?

I vaguely recall there was a first lady not too long ago, whose photos of her by herself naked in GQ magazine, or with other women in porn scenes in Max magazine, were applauded by a certain group of folks.

[drstevens]

I did work Hefner in the 60s when he bought the Palmolive building. In the lobby he had a bookcase filled with sex books and a giant rat trap. For bait in the rat trap was a wedding ring.

Over 60 years ago, along with the rest of our rugby team, I posed naked for a 'Ladies' Magazine Calendar, covered in mud, steaming after a match, with strategically placed rugby balls to hide our withered bits. (It was freezing!)

We were not paid. Now that was shameful!

Hefner was a pimp.

As for the women who sold themselves?

[davem4616]

I haven't clicked on the OP's link, and have no interest in doing so...the post reminded me of two things:

- someone once said that they bought the magazine for the articles (right?)
-secondly, a sad story of how a young girl's life was forever altered by the magazine

an entry level admin, in a high tech firm that I was with years ago, had appeared as a centerfold in an issue just prior to my coming on board

she was the talk of the small town that she grew up in, and at the watercoolers/department coffee pots

she was a nice kid, seemed like she just wanted to get on with her life, but certainly not the brightest bulb on the tree

she grew up locally, her father was ashamed/humiliated/no longer spoke to her....the baggage that goes along with 'being a centerfold' followed her around like a second shadow...the rug got to be a little worn in front of her cubicle

a sleaze, that was a peer of mine, transferred her over to his group....for one reason
I only got to know a little of her from what my admin shared

such a shame that for what, maybe...$20 -50 grand back in the day????(I'm just guessing).... her life was forever changed, and that one decision follows her around to this day...just like Monica's stupid decision does

but, then again, I outgrew reading those magazines when I was a high school freshman

Good for them! I’m glad they found there way here, and I hope they are enjoying The Villages. I’d be happy to have them as friends.

I have an equestrian friend who keeps her horses at a training stable in New Jersey. Nearly all the horses are owned by women, and all of those women spend a lot of time talking with each other. One night she called me all worked up because there was a new woman at the stable who was a stripper. No one wanted anything to do with her. It was unacceptable. I encouraged her to withhold judgment until she’d gotten to know this stripper. Turned out that the woman was in her mid-40s and was proud of being a stripper, though she had given it up a year earlier. She wasn’t a great rider, but she had a pretty good horse and competed. She was now working as co-owner of a truck-dispatching company, with her dad. Within a couple months, she made friends with everyone. No one forgot she had been a stripper, but they no longer cared. The next year she got married to a guy who didn’t care that she had been a stripper. Now, five or six years later, she is very much integrated into the barn society.

That was 40-50 years ago. Life was totally different for of of us then. Men had their clubs & etc. Women were different. Those wanting to be in movies were sexually abused in todays world. In business if a women succeeded she was sleeping with the boss. Things were excepted or ignored in those days. Things that happened in the past should stay in the past. No one can go back and accuse. Today is today. When people age they get wiser. The mistakes they made helped them be a better person. These two women were probably very attractive in those days. Let the ladies live their present days without all of this negativity. They are probably very nice & would have some great stories to tell. Until you walk in someone’s shoes you have no idea why they did what the did or what they are dealing with today. Stop judging.

[jricci13]

My freind and I dressed up like Playboy Bunnies for a Halloween party one time. Does that count? Lol

[triflex]

Hef and his ladies were and are pornographers.

I dressed in silk pajamas as Hef for a 39 and over church singles group Halloween party. I even found a pipe to complete the impression. The women at the party loved the outfit! Lol.

who doesn’t love a soft &fluffy bunny.

Then obviously you've never seen real pornography.:popcorn:

I was holding off on a response to that ridiculous statement until I could find a response that I felt was concise, on point, and not too inflammatory. You have responded perfectly, so now I don't need to keep thinking of one.
Well done.

It's called freedom. I respect that you are free to have that opinion. People are free to live their lives without your approval.

Google it 😂

[Robnlaura]

What’s wrong with porn is the question

[manaboutown]

I DVR antiques Road Show. Last night on a recorded show a former Chicago Club bunny and1976 Playmate brought her old bunny outfit to the show. She cheerfully expressed that those were the best years of her life. She had for a while lived in the mansion, knew Hef well, and had enjoyed all the parties, the celebrities and the lifestyle. So her experience had been a good one. She was married and said her husband would be happy with the valuation the show's "expert" had placed on her paraphernalia.

[Topspinmo]

I hope it wasn't their dog. Hefner was a disgusting creature.

Young Women knew exactly what they was getting into. Agree maybe few naïve that didn’t have clue. But, Easy money with not having to enter the normal work force where low pay long hours with little or no reward.

Good point.

I recall quite a few years back, in college in the early 1970's, a classmate of mine was a prostitute. She was pretty open about it. She was using the proceeds to pay for (among other things) her college education. I was somewhat taken aback at first, but we had been friends before she revealed it and continued to be afterwards. Work and school were kept totally separate. She was a fun person and smart as a whip: I can't recall precisely which degree she was pursuing--pre med, maybe--but her grades were excellent.

I know this will elicit strong reactions in some people. But had I allowed myself to be ruled by my prejudices I'd have missed out on a pretty good friendship.
