Customer Reviews

Soo Great!! A must read!

I really love this book! It kind of caught my eye at the book store as I was walking by, I never thought it would be this good. The truth really comes out in this book, Mr.Playboy himself is not the man we all thought he is. Even though I had my suspicions about him I never would have thought he would go to such lengths to keep his image. It even has some not so flattering stories of Holly and Bridget... that was really interesting. Even though I am fans of theirs, I still was surprised to read how they were/are before the tv show or how they just want us to think of them as. I am not to sure how to describe them, but I can see what the author is talking about when she talks about them. I see the whole Playboy world completely different now. And even feel sorry for Hugh... about how he has never really opened himself to love or be loved. ( I wouls still trade places with him in a heartbeat ! lol ) If you love watching The Girls Next Door... or love Playboy you must read this book. I couldn't put it down! I am hoping that some of the other girls will also share their stories and write more books about snitching on each other just like this one did! Better then any gossip mag hands down!

Interesting and insightful

I enjoyed reading this book. It was a good window into the lives of the Girlfriends of Hugh Hefner, and life at the Mansion. Definitely worth the read!

Wonderful Book

I don't feel sorry for Hefner, he's got plenty of dough and wants to do the right thing with it before he dies. Spend it all on that wonderful entity called ......"himself". I got to say I never felt like he was someone to laugh at but this book does it. An 80 year old "swinger" purchasing 20 year old girlfriends and thinking he's still looking "cool". What a clown. All that money and he wastes it on hookers that mock him behind his back. Thanks Hef, you taught me something, hedonism isn't all it's cracked up to be and you must be one first class jerk to draw in flies like this author.

Interesting read

I am not sure why she wrote the book, but I found it very interesting to read, and I am really not that interested in Hef or his girlfriends. If you are curious about the man, his life, then read it... but I can see why his is totally pissed.

Get Bunny Tales, Kiss and Tell and Poor Little Bitch Girl

Bunny Tales offers a great glimpse into what really goes on at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. It's been paired with former Playboy Bunny Shannon Tweed's Kiss and Tell book and for good reason - both former Playboy Bunnies are a tad revealing in their recollections of life with living-legend Hefner. Another great autobiography of a female star is CJ Sleez: Poor Little Bitch Girl, recounting her childhood in Canada, and her musical rise and drug induced fall and her comeback - fascinating reading. CJ has recently become a pin-up girl and rock vixen has long been a female rock icon. I recommend all 3 books as a great excuse to escape into the lives of the rich and famous.
