These new girlfriends seem really self conscious about being "new." They are constantly referring to the old girlfriends as if they're kinda scared of them, especially Crystal. It really struck me when Crystal said how proud she as that they were the ones to give him his first s'more, like it's an accomplishment none of the other girlfriends achieved. #girlsnextdoorsmores
The best part of this series (post-Holly, Bridget, Kendra) is the music. Maybe it's because the rest of it is going downhill, but I feel like the sound clips they select are increasingly amusing. duh-DUH.S'more headed toward mouth.#girlsnextdoorsmores
Elder abuse? Not so much. Elder speak and being patronizing jackasses? Sure. But honestly, for all that Hef has made women objects, to become the object of a teenager's amusement is pretty much karma. #girlsnextdoorsmores
Surely Hef can afford a discreet hearing aid so those women don't have to yell at them all the time.
Also, whipping flaming marshmallows around to put out their fire is a good way to permanently disfigure a girlfriend. Molten hot marshmallow is not a friend to flesh. #girlsnextdoorsmores
This just getting sad. She's literally shouting at him and nodding with that wide-eyed look you get when you're trying to make sure someone understands. There is nothing sexy about any of this. #girlsnextdoorsmores
@FattyCatty: Exactly. I'm all for him having companions and all that, but can we just drop the whole "girlfriend" charade? It's getting almost insulting. #girlsnextdoorsmores
@BuffySummers: He's become a caricature of himself at this point, and it is sad. So undignified.
Does Playboy (the brand) think no one will notice that he is actually an elderly man who needs a nursemaid more than a girlfriend if they keep surrounding him with hot blonde teenagers? #girlsnextdoorsmores
@bluebears: might depend when smores became popular, which probably occured due to some Hershey's marketing campaign. If he was already in his 40s, he probably missed it. #girlsnextdoorsmores
@wilmawonker: no, they were first introduced in 1927. Hefner, in his day, was a HUGE consumer of pop culture so I just find it hard to believe he missed this.
@bluebears: Yeah it's true...maybe they used to be called something else...? Or it's just that he's spent the past 60 years in the Mansion and swanky hotels that he just never ventured outside perhaps... #girlsnextdoorsmores
I think the true spookiness comes from the fact that it kind of seems like these women are just disposable objects who are thrown out after they grow up a little bit. Plus, Hefner obviously doesn't care about them enough as individuals to grow with them, especially seeing as HE'S THE GODDAMN CRYPT KEEPER! #girlsnextdoorbarbibenton
@ainsworth2: I saw a clip of Hef saying that one of them was like Holly and one of them was like Kendra. There were three sitting there with him, and two were twins - I have no idea who was meant to be like who! And he didn't mention the third person at all so who knows! #girlsnextdoorbarbibenton
Oh please. He is not dating these girls. They're being paid to pretend to like this nearly senile old man. Do a Google search and read about how his so-called "ex-girlfriends" describe how they never even see Hef but yet their every move is watched and they have curfews like they are his children. At most they probably make-out and screw each other while he watches, which is gross but I doubt he actually has sex with them. #girlsnextdoorbarbibenton
In some ways, Hef reminds me of Jocelyn Wildenstein (The Cat Lady). To the outside, rational perspective, his behavior and lifestyle seem laughable or rooted in an inablity to see things as they are. But to him, it's the life he always dreamed of, and if he admits that this goal he has worked so hard at attaining and maintaining is really a farce, his world will collapse around him. It's much easier--especially when you're quite wealthy and surrounded by sycophants--to simply continue in the lifestyle you've created.
Just as it's psychologically necessary for a plastic-surgery addict to convince themselves that the end product is total perfection, Hef needs to maintain the illusion that he has no desire to connect with someone closer to his age.
Of course, this is just a theory. It's totally possible that he really is happy with things as they are. Maybe all he needs to feel good are his old movies, his crumbling empire, and a few nubile behinds on which to rub his flaccidity. (Sorry for the mental image!) #girlsnextdoorbarbibenton
@sharkie792: The new girlfriends are so freaking fake... at least Holly, Kenda and Bridget could fake it GOOD. Probably in more ways than one. ZING #girlsnextdoorbarbibenton

the second clip is really sad - he sounds like he's really trying to convince himself... the whole thing is actually depressing.
do people actually find this whole thing enviable?
