When I was 2 I had a Playboy bunny shirt I wore around all the time. My parents just thought it was a regular bunny and didn't even know what Playboy was.

It's in all my childhood photos.

My mom once brought home what she thought was a perfectly good coffee table that someone left out for the trash. It had a huge marijuana leaf painted on it.

I understand why a grown woman might want to pose for Playboy. Maybe it will help her acting career or maybe she just wants some hot photos. But if that's what you were dreaming about as a kid, something went wrong in your upbringing.

I didn't even know what Playboy was until I was in middle school. Any porn my father might have had was completely hidden and I don't think he ever pointed out women he found attractive. The man wasn't perfect, but thanks Daddy for not making me think being a Playboy Playmate would validate me.

@clevernamehere: My dad appreciated women although he never behaved inappropriately around them when we were with him. He was just the kind of guy who could kid a waitress and have her going "tee hee hee".

He had a sort of retreat in the garage where he'd go to read books and listen to classical music.

My sister and I both lived up to his ultimate dream for us: We both graduated from college.

@Tart of Darkness: My dad did and still does think that Jamie Lee Curtis is the prettiest woman (other than my Mama) that he's ever seen. So I had a "normal" woman to aspire to be. I'm glad I never had brothers, my mom's dream man is Pierce Brosnan.

The best part of last night's episode, though, was when Holly was telling Hef that she would be gone a week and he said, "I'll miss you." And she retorted with "No you won't... I have a feeling."

Foreshadowing the foregone conclusion??

the kim kardashian wannabe lady with the bikini top that didn't fit reminded me of trying on bikini tops at American Apparel last summer. For some reason, their bathing suit tops are INSANELY small and when I tried to fit my DDs into an XL, it was ridiculous. The size small is about 2.5 inches wide, and the XL is about 4 inches wide. It is such interesting sizing.

In New Zealand, the show is called "The Girls of the Playboy Mansion" (we wouldn't want to confuse things) and the naughty bits are not blurred out. It's a silicone and Brazilian free-for-all!

If this is your dream and goal to be in the magazine, you should probably put a little planning and thought into it...If your goal was to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, you wouldn't show up without dance shoes or a routine, would you?

I went to college with a girl who dressed as a Playboy Bunny every chance she could (Halloween, Theme Parties, etc). She even got a bunny tattoo on her wrist. She is obsessed with getting into the magazine.
