The link is the Jill Ann Spaulding book.

Not to be confused with Playground by Jennifer Saginor.

I was wondering as well, if Hugh Hefner has ever gotten in touch with you to thank you for a job well done?
Not that you would ever expect that, I know.
But he did love his Bunnies and I'm sure he appreciates what you have accomplished for the past 6yrs.


Yep, he appreciates you so much, he can't be bothered to thank you or even acknowledge your existence!

That's a delusional bunch!!!!!
Jill Ann had it sooooo right. In Hef's world there in only Hef, Hef, and Hef, and after that the world comes next. Truly, Hefnerland.
No wonder Holly is so bitter in regard to Playboy. They did teach her to be an ambitious bitch though.
Makes one wonder what really happened to Claire Sinclair with not only the son, but the old man.
Cooper appears to be swinging with both Amanda Cerney and Pomplun. Apples don't fall far from the tree. ;) Posted Image

Lol that's true. I think Bridget did eventually get divorced. I did read that Pomplun's husband was at the pmoy luncheon.

I asked like a month ago if Bri ever got divorced and I was told by one of you lovely members that she was.

Hefnerland is an.......interesting read. I feel very, very bad for JillAnn. She was completely and utterly taken advantage of by Hef's gf

I've read Playground a couple times. Jennifer Saginor still goes to the mansion parties (or at least still did while Holly, Bri & Kendra were there). Unfortunately, I think most of the book is pretty true. Some things might seem a little exaggerated but it could be because Jennifer was on drugs most of the time so maybe that's how her memories are.

"Kendall" or Carrie Leigh threatened to sue but she was advised not to since there was too many people who could testify to that affair.

Didn't Carrie Leigh sue Hef for palimony? She was Canadian, I think, as was Shannon Tweed, Shera, and the one that the boyfriend shot her.
They must have a lot of "scouts" up there in Canada. LOL
What's the word on Shera. Personally, I thought she was A Okay. Team Shera.

I don't know, but Carrie Leigh fascinates me. You can totally tell that Hef was head over heels and that she was playing him like a fiddle. Total gold-digger, though she did seem as though she matured in subsequent interviews. As for Saginor's book....I've never been interested in it. Reviews turned me off and some sources claimed that she greatly embellished her story. Maybe it is the truth, but it either way-not interested.

Hugh Hefner has played Pygmalion to a pantheon of Playmates over the years, picking the comeliest from the pages of his magazine then transforming them from mere pinups into living symbols of his Playboy philosophy. Showering them with money and furs, posing them before the finest photographers, offering them up for the attentive appraisal of Hollywood agents and producers, Hefner has shown his women how to turn T&A into taxable assets, so that when their tenure as First Bunny ends, they do not leave empty-handed. In return, the young women have but to share his bed and hang around quietly.

Each in her time, Barbie Benton, Sondra Theodore, Shannon Tweed and a handful of others have left Hef's embrace to find fame and fortune elsewhere. But amiable acquiescence may have gone out of fashion. Carrie Leigh, 25, the most recent of Hefner's anointed, has risen from the swaddling bandages of plastic surgery to turn against her mentor.

"He promised to marry me, he promised to have a child with me, promised to support me," claims Leigh, Playboy's cover girl of 1983, who held a press conference with her lawyer, Marvin Mitchelson, to announce that she was suing Hefner for more than $5 million in palimony. Leigh then added to the buzz by hinting that Jessica Hahn was "instrumental" in her breakup with Hefner.

Hefner, 61, denies it all. "I'm the silliest possible target for a palimony suit," he scoffs, "because I'm the most confirmed bachelor of the 20th century." To hear Hef tell it, he has been generous almost to a fault with Leigh, who succeeded Shannon Tweed as official concubine in the spring of 1983. She was 19 and looking to get out of her native Toronto. Hefner says he moved Leigh into the Playboy mansion in Holmby Hills, Calif., and gave her an allowance of $5,000 a month (later reduced to $3,500) as well as the use of a Mercedes limousine and driver and a personal trainer. He also bought Leigh sables, lynx and diamonds, he says, and arranged photo shoots with leading fashion photographers such as Helmut Newton. "He was so affectionate toward her," says Michael Roche, 25, owner of the glamour boutique Addictions and a former confidante of Leigh's. "It used to bother me, because I knew in the back of my mind what she was going to do to him."

Roche says that Leigh had been plotting the palimony suit for some time and was only using Hefner to satisfy her lust for fame. (Mitchelson acknowledges that he and Leigh have been meeting "periodically over the past four or five months.") According to Roche, Leigh—who claims that Hefner would not allow her to work—preferred partying to pursuing professional contacts. "Part of modeling is getting out of bed at 6 in the morning and hoofing the streets," he says, "not sleeping until 3 in the afternoon and getting your nails done." Leigh is also reported to have been intensely jealous of Jessica Hahn, who moved into the Playboy mansion last October after gaining national notoriety in the Jim Bakker sex scandal. "[Leigh] said to me and to Jessica, 'I wish I had the same [publicity] happen to me,' " recalls Roche. "She's a real sick pup."

In retrospect, Hefner expresses little surprise at the collapse of his affair with Leigh. "The miracle is that this relationship has lasted as long as it has," he says, "because her attention span is rather short." Sounding more like the father of a rebellious adolescent than an apostle of hedonism, Hefner says Leigh "had problems of an emotional nature. There were sexual improprieties and alcohol." (Says Mitchelson, laughing: Leigh "would say that's like the pot calling the kettle black.")

In her suit, Leigh alleges Hefner told her he wanted to have children with her, then impregnated her and pressured her to have an abortion. Hefner says he did not urge the abortion on her. He also says that, given his own precautions, he was surprised by the pregnancy. "I'm a responsible and careful guy," he says. "It's one of the reasons why I've never had any paternity suits." When Leigh refused to use birth control, he says, he posted an "exact chart" of her menstrual cycle next to his bed to prevent accidents. He was especially careful, he maintains, after his daughter, Christie, warned him that Leigh might try to get pregnant as leverage against him. Roche claims Leigh told him she'd discussed that tactic with Mitchelson, who allegedly told her it wouldn't be necessary if she could just stay with Hefner a few more years.

In 1987, says Hefner, Leigh stole a videotape of a sexual frolic involving himself and some friends made at the mansion in the '70s, thinking she could use it against him. When she tried to enlist Hahn in her schemes by giving her a copy of the tape, Hefner says, Hahn promptly returned it to him. "That's what caused the big conflict between Carrie and Jessica," he says. On Jan. 9 Leigh lit out for New York with a girlfriend. According to Roche, she called Mitchelson to say, "Marvin, I can't wait any longer." The next month she filed suit. Mitchelson denies that Leigh intended to use any tapes against Hefner.

Hefner professes to be appalled. "This is not a palimony suit, it's a publicity stunt," he insists. Despite Leigh's frequent efforts to engage him in conversation about houses, children and marriage over the last year, he says, "there was no indication in her behavior that she was looking for stability. Quite the contrary." Still, he adds, "it was a long and important relationship, so I feel sadness."

Ironically, the man who turned the fantasy of a different woman every month into a personal fortune now seems to be craving commitment. "I'm at the point in my life where I've sown my wild oats and I'm looking for a stable relationship," says Hefner. And he's lost no time in pressing his search. Two weeks after Leigh's departure, Hefner moved Kimberley Conrad, 24, a leggy blond who appeared in Playboy's January issue, into his bedroom. "She's just what I need right now—open, honest and straight," he says. "Is it serious? Yes, it is."

Notice it says hef arranged photo shots with top photographers for her. The same for Crusty (and other gf's). She isn't getting all of these photoshoots on her own looks and fame.
