    Just saw this, and told my husband I need to watch the Smoking Jacket episode of Curb (yet again).

    What a life Hef lived.  A really nice one, I think.  Set precedents and held quite a hand in the boners of many (no pun intended).  Plus, to walk around in silk PJ's all day?  Surrounded by lovely and usually bare-chested women? AND THE GROTTO?!

    I had the odd and pleasurable experience of visiting his mansion as a kid when he and my dad - and others of course - worked together on a fundraiser there for the City of Hope.  During the planning stages, my sister and I hung in the arcade room and snuck out for a bit to see the flamingos and monkeys and other assorted animals.  Pretty fucking cool.

    RIP indeed.  A good 91 years.

    Rip.
    Boobies.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Aside from being responsible for my first exposure to a naked woman, he was an early contributor to NORML as well.

    I would have guessed he was a bit older, but 81 ain't doing to badly.  Quite an interesting life the man had. 

    R.I.P Hugh Hefner.

    I only read the articles and interviews in his magazine.  Did I miss anything?

    Would you guess him a decade or so older than 81, because he was actually 91. Lol

  • MayDay10MayDay10 Posts: 11,787
    No... I just mean the life he lived and the fact he is/was 91.  What else could he want?  Im not happy he died or anything.

    Can't deny that. Flawed for sure, but Playboy definitely helped push the social narrative in the direction of a more free and open society. Even if it was indirect and unintended, it helped break barriers regarding censorship. 
  • amethgr8amethgr8 Posts: 766
    yes, that was part of the good.

    Yeah, I don't get it either.
    Not that I'm happy he died, but the dude was 91 and lived longer than 90% of us will with probably more money than the entire fanclub put together is worth. Don't know what there is to be sad about.
    I also don't get how someone who objectified women can be so praised by many who fight for women's rights? Conservative celebrities have lost their career for a fraction of what he did to women, but he's celebrated for it. Just doesn't make sense to me.

    it's because that's not all he did. it's why people don't celebrate larry flynt. because that's all he did.

    Me too, though my experiences aren't all that vast =)

    Playboy has featured a number of actresses over the years, most of whom (I assume) posed of their own accord and nice paycheck.  He didn't create the desire of others to see women, famous or not, in states of undress.  I wouldn't do it myself, by the way.
