    My friend that passed away recently worked her way through college as a “bunny” and said that her experience was fun, clean, wholesome and there were many rules that she had to follow. The documentary was very interesting and I will definitely recommend it to others!

    I learned a lot from the magazine when I was young: good cigars, good cognac, good wine, good short stories, painting and photography. And, well, the photos of women. But I always preferred women in real life. Mostly dressed.

    It showed playmate Candace Collins, she was the beautiful with gorgeous eyes. Just her eyes were on a December cover in the early 80s. Debra Jo Fondren the playmate of the year i think 1978 was my all time favorite. She had the super long, thick, wavy blond hair down to her knees. I was 12 and stole her playmate of the year issue. I stuck the magazine in a newspaper and paid 25 cents...lol....they wouldn't let a 12 year old buy it, so I had to be creative...lol...still have it. Bo Derek was and is my favorite celebrity and I have doubles of her issues.. lol....I miss gorgeous woman....

      Yes, and not the number of times Hefner screwed a playmate. I worked for a magazine distributor. The stars were a "printing code" of area distribution. Unsold magazines aren't returned to the vendor, but the covers of the magazines are returned for credit and to show what wasn't sold and where the magazine site area was.

    Playboy© was an American institution; as American as apple pie. It was a classy magazine. Hef put women on a pedestal; He made stars out of some & it was a jumping off point to bigger & better things for a lot of women both white & black. I always envied the women who were lucky enough to pose for Playboy. I think the people who've recently spoken ill of Hef after his death (like his ex Holly, who would be nothing w/out him) should be ashamed of themselves. Hugh Hefner was a master at his craft & is greatly missed. 🤍♥🐇♥🤍
