As you might expect, Hef's obituary in the Chicago Tribune has a lot of details and background information on him:
Hugh Hefner, Playboy founder who built his empire in Chicago, dies at 91 - Chicago Tribune

I bet him and St. Peter had an interesting conversation at the gates.
I really don't have strong feelings about Hef either way. I neither support nor condemn his lifestyle. It was his life to lead, not mine. Rest in Peace, Hef.
There are those that hold Hef in very high esteem. There are also those that feel strongly that he was quite responsible for the moral decline/decay in this country. I never really thought about it until a guy at work unloaded his wagon at my desk. This individual was not a fringe religious extremist, either, rather a staunch member of the worlds largest Christian organization. This opinion stuck in the back of my mind for years.
So, yes, depending upon which side of the fence your feet are planted, St. Peter may have had an interesting moment..... We will find out in our own time I guess.
Spent $75,000 for the space next to Marylin Monroe. Jay Leno said for that kind of money he should be buried on top of her.
He definitely changed the world.

What did Mick Jagger say to Hef when he caught him in bed with Dennis Weaver ?
"Hey, hey, Hugh, Hugh, get off of McCloud"
Just had to get that one in there....
I went to the Playboy mansion several times and in fact was sequestered there for a day in 1992 when the L.A. Riots broke out. I also attended a couple of Playboy sponsored parties at the Las Vegas Wet & Wild water park where they rented the park for the night and only let in certain attendees. And a lot of celebrities. They had it staffed with a couple dozen Playmates, all in identical bikinis who were all armed with Super Soaker water guns and would blast anyone and everyone.
I wish my job today was as much fun.

Several pretty prominent celebs hung out at the Mansion, inc. Leonardo DiCaprio. I think Jack Nicholson was often there, too. And Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy not only posed for the magazine; they became celebs in their own right.
But it is true that others, like Scott Baio, were no longer major successes. BTW, Denise Richards, whom I admire, denied Baio's account that they had been intimate.
I saw only occasional issues of, Penthouse and it never appealed to me. I certainly wouldn't agree that, Playboy ever became a Penthouse clone. And the Hefners have always had more class than did Bob Guccione. (sp?)

I wonder if they are going to be looking for homes for all those bunnies? I have some spare room....
If you are married I bet your wife would have something silly to say about that.

Make up and lighting...
Make up and lighting can also cover a host of evils.
BTW: I saw a picture of the chandelier in his bedroom that is weighed down heavily by 'trophies'.

That's true, but all of the Playmates I've seen were truly hot.These were Jacqueline Sheen (official store appearance), Amanda Hope (she asked me not to reveal her last name), Julie McCullough, and Angela Little. I talked to Hope (she uses the middle name) and Angela for about an hour each, Hope in both the grocery store and a couple of months later in the same bookstore where I also saw Angela. Hope wasn't made up much, but was still a "looker."
Obviously, if they're posing for a magazine, they'll be glammed up.
I've seen photos of VS models in and out of makeup and glamorous hairstyles, and they're the same. Cute, but better when spruced up. The same was true of my ex-wife and my daughter. The daughter is pretty conscious of her appearance, but even with just lipstick and her hair in a ponytail, she turns a lot of male heads. Same for those Playmates, although Angela was certainly made up better and more conscious of looks and persona. I doubt she goes out without sprucing up some. She's not tall, but she packs a lot of girl into that space.
Hope is tall and less made up for casual trips to the grocer or the book store. But she was sharp, nonetheless. Sheen was, of course, all made up and hot, as she was doing an autograph session, representing the magazine. She handles men very well. I think she'd be a great salesperson or PR rep. My daughter was impressed at how well she dealt with her fans, totally charming them. And by how many men stood in a LONG, LONG line to meet her. She had almost as many fans as Heidi Klum did at the VS NorthPark store, and that is saying something!
You may have seen Angela as the St. Pauli beer ad girl. I think she looked really good in that ad, and she was very friendly and informal to me. Yeah, I asked her out, but she was going steady with some guy and lived with him.
Really, Bunny Patti in Chicago appealed to me the most of the Playboy girls I've met, and I loved talking to her and interviewed her for my newspaper article. She was married, and the club didn't allow dating customers, anyway. I wasn't a club member, was in there as a guest of my Journalism teacher's boyfriend, who had a Key. He and I had double-dated one night back home in Dallas. My teacher fixed me up with one of her former students who was visiting in Dallas, and she was a terrific girl, just recovering from a rough divorce. To be honest, I liked the Playboy girls, but that chick impressed me even more. Unfortunately, she lived in a town too far away to continue seeing her.
BTW, the Playboy Club and Abercrombie & Fitch were the only places I liked in Chicago. We didn't get by the Field Museum. Most people were pretty rude, by Texas standards. A&F then was still an outdoors outfitter, well before the name was sold to The Limited and became a ladies dress shop. I saw my first Zeiss binocular there, something I'd been wanting to do. And they had some wonderful guns, as you'd expect from their reputation.
As a cultural issue, a couple of girls in our college group were surprised that when I ordered tea, it came hot, in a cup. It was what I wanted, but they'd never seen any but iced tea! And one had to be told what was meant when I had Patti bring me a Chivas Regal in the Club. And Patti brought the right scotch. They didn't try to cheat me.
My USAF roommate from Newfoundland and a Newfie girl he marred live in Chicago and they showed me the town. One bar tried to pass Cutty Sark off as Chivas. They replaced it when I squawked, and were impressed that I could tell the difference. I really think that many who don't like scotch try blends like Cutty or J&B and should try the highland whiskies, which I much prefer.

a true American icon if there ever was one.
I heard they had a tough time closing the casket due to all the viagra he had taken over the years.

I fixed it. Probably, "group were." I was trying to do two things at once and posted that to avoid losing it in a computer foul-up before I went to the kitchen to answer the howling tea kettle.
When I got back to the computer, I proofread and fixed the errors in that latter part of the post. I know, it was awful. I shouldn't try to type when very tired and in a rush.
But often, on this board, if I don't post as I get the basic message down, a page pops up for no reason that has to be X'd out of, or the whole board vanishes and something else takes its place. I don't have that problem on most sites
If you see me mangle a post, it means I was having computer issues and will be back soon and edit.
