Thoughts On Hugh Hefner & This “Lifestyle”

Thoughts On Hugh Hefner & This “Lifestyle” As a I, like many other guys, looked at Playboy magazines. It was probably the first time I saw a naked woman. I also checked out the cartoons and bits of humor. As I got older, I started reading product reviews and the articles – by Hunter Thomson among others. I would also watch from time to time the late night TV show Playboy had. There were musical and cultural guests on. Along with the “Rat Pack”, Steve McQueen, Johnny Carson and others Playboy was the definition of ‘cool’. I lived in West Los Angeles at that time. My grandfather lived down the street from the mansion. I got my first speeding ticket (of many), within an hour of my grandfather giving me his car (’64 Impala SS), that was on Beverly Glenn just south of Sunset Blvd – essentially behind the mansion. I never actually saw the mansion, or Mr. Hefner, in person. A few times I latched on to (maybe borrowed) a Playboy key card and took a few dates to dinner at the club when I had the coin to do so. The food and drinks there were excellent. Some scorn the Playboy magazine and “lifestyle” as sexist etc. – that may be true. However, it was also a vehicle that got us to where we (men AND women) can be on the inter/web/nets on dating/sex sites, naked, talking about sex in detail and getting together in non-traditional relationships that were once scorned. If it weren't for Hef and Playboy we may not be here. He opened the door to things that had been kept hidden and in a way that was acceptable for the times, which led to it becoming “normal”. For that he deserves many, many  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. |

Someone else may have started it if he had not, but who knows if they would have been as accepted or successful. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I remember reading Cynthia Heimel's column religiously... a friend's bathroom had about 20 years of past issues stacked next to the toilet and damn if I didn't have to pee every single time I went over there!

So surprisingly, this is what the New York Times had to say....... https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/30/opinion/hugh-hefner.html?smid=tw-share&referer=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FBl6awA9WHO%3Famp%3D1

Hefner gave the writers an acceptable venue to get their articles see by more readers. The idea Hefner had for the magazine pushed boundaries that had been taboo. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Great post McScally. If he did anything, he certainly pushed boundaries, and a few people became enlightened on a few things along the way. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Did you say you read it or was it more like ruined it. I remember seeing Hunter S.at A S U one night he spoke in a classroom or should I say mummbled most of the night. The first thing he did when he showed up was take his pants off and cracked open a bud tall from the six pack he brought him And he said"how the fuck do you people live in this fuckin heat!"

Hefner and the playboy brand have been a part of my entire life. My father read Playboy up until he died. I've read some articles in Playboy myself, there really were amazing writers in those magazines. A cultural icon has died, morality and political rhetoric have no value at this time. Godspeed, Sir Hugh. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I would agree. Although the more I read about his treatment of the "girls in his mansion", the more I think he was personally a huge *$$hole. But that is because he was very controlling - and treated them like women in the 50's. Strange, eh? What an interesting guy. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
