The girls were, very frankly, an old man's concubines. Mainly trophy concubines, yes, but still (the show made attempts to convince us they were competing to sleep with Hefner, at least once showing Hef retiring to a bedchamber with one).<br /><br />For decades Hefner peddled a fantasy lifestyle of Trumpian luxury surrounded by seemingly available sex objects. He actually LIVED it, and thus could write off a grotto full of nubile buoyancy as a business expense. But there was always a fig leaf of respectability, or at least legality.<br /><br />Now, cresting the wave that began with "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", we actually saw a bunch of bimbos on the payroll whose sole purpose in life was to be arm candy (at least) to a rich geezer. Here the fig leaf was nominally taking the girls' point of view, but they were displayed as outrageously shallow and separated from reality -- that is, still male fantasy figures. Not sure if Hef's borderline senility mitigated the creepiness or increased it (again, the show would periodically make the point that he'd Do It with one of them. Somehow.).<br /><br />A high point was one of the girls having her parents visit to see her fun lifestyle and meet Mr. Hefner. Besides emphasizing the girl wasn't that far from high school and that Hef was old enough to be her father's father, it was a chance to show a nice Middle-America couple being proud of what their baby had achieved. Dad punching out Hef would have been great, but it would have also been Last Show of Series. <br />DBensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144515471557731622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-649216243799570492016-06-11T12:54:32.439-07:002016-06-11T12:54:32.439-07:00Okay, if other people get to complain about baseba...Okay, if other people get to complain about baseball posts, I get to complain about reality show posts.
