Come on a Ma House...

It was going to happen...at some point I knew I had to share my love of this unique programme.
Girls of the Playboy Mansion or
Girls Next Door


Giving us, the viewers, a unique look inside the daily running of the Playboy Mansion, and in particular the daily lives of the 3 (former) girlfriends of Playboy legend Hugh Hefner.

Holly Madison

Bridget Marquardt

Kendra Wilkinson

Many people have the wrong idea of this programme. Due to the nature of Playboy and Hef's extraordinary lifestyle, people assume that this programme is full of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
How very wrong they are!


The show contains minimal nudity and very few sexual references. Yet the girls are often seen in very revealing outfits, short skirts, maybe not your average "going into town" clothing!


The show started in 2005 and has spanned over 6 series, however I am only focusing on the first 5 series as these were filmed during the time when Holly, Bridget and Kendra were living at the mansion. Each episode is roughly 22 minutes long. Following the lives of the 3 girls and Hef, we get a unique look inside the parties, events and experience what it can be like living as a multi-millionaire!


I first started watching the show back in late 2006. I was flicking through the channels late one night, yes maybe looking for light porn, and I got to E! were I saw "Girls of the Playboy Mansion". Back then, my view on playboy was naive. I knew it involved a bunny logo and alot of naked women in a magazine. From the first show I saw, I was hooked. By this point, the second/third series was being shown over here in the U.K. 
I now have all the episodes in some form on DVD. I am desperate to save up to buy the complete box set, as I love LOVE the audio commentary from the 3 girls for each episode. 


The tag line "We call it fantasy, they call it home" is so true. Butlers, maids, 24 hour kitchen, parties, VIP treatment....something many of us can only dream of.


I believe that the real success of the show falls to the 3 girls. Each with their own unique identity. Holly, Hef's number one girl, is a real glamour girl. Almost straight out of a 1930's film. Bridget, the fun loving, girly girl. Into Halloween and all things spooky yet just wants to have a good time. And Kendra, the youngest, a real tomboy, and massive fan of ALL sports. Hugh Hefner is such a gentleman. Yes he may be 80, and his girlfriends are in their 20's, but you never really even notice it. They keep their sexual intimacy private and away from the cameras. Hef is just a big kid at heart! My favourite? Probably Bridget, yet Kendra is definitely the prettiest! (I can only dream of looking like that!) :P

I love it! I think all the girls are so beautiful, and they may be blonde, but they aren't stupid! Bridget even has 2 Masters Degrees! Gold diggers........? If you watch the programme, the relationships that the girls have seem so genuine and so real. However, as you may have gathered, all this is in the past. The 3 girls have moved on and got their own lives. Kendra is married with a 2/3 year old son, Holly is working the stage in Las Vegas and Bridget is hosting here there and everywhere. 


The show may be finished and it may all be in the past, but I still watch it. Give it a go! If you like documentaries, or real life stuff then honestly.....try it.
