If anyone is interested, here is a link for Jill Ann's Hefnerland. https://hefnerland.blogspot.com/2006/09/hefnerland-this-book-is-ne_115855304789758871.html

Why was Kate not wearing a wedding ring in the final scenes?

I don't get why screen writers want to destroy the source material. This is happening with the current season of Outlander. The source material will always be better to work with and not deviate.

I did prefer the slow burn rather than have love scenes for the sake of having them.

I agree LadyChaos. Penelope has been in a tough spot from beginning of season one. Everyone but Eloise ignores her, and she probably wouldn't mind (she's pretty much left to her own devices and that gives her freedom), but it hurts when Colin does. She's been crushing on him for years and years. I liked her and the modiste collaborating. I'm not saying what she did was right, but I understand why. Eloise needs to remember she's a valued and loved member of her rich family and Pen, not so much.

Is the actress playing Prudence wearing a prosthetic nose?

Starting ep 5. Edwina and Antony were never engaged. Her heart actually belonged to an academic she met during the season, IIRC. She was just going along with what everyone wanted. In this era, you can't break off an engagement without ruining the lady's reputation, and it would be insane for him to wind up with the sister. Don't remember the Prudence storyline. Need to reread.

I think if you were ever in the modeling world whether as a high fashion model or a glamour model (AKA the PB models), they already are starting with good bones (literally and figuratively) and are less likely to 'let themselves go'. Look at the 80s and 90s supermodels and the 90s Playmates. They all still look amazing. I'm sure they are all very into exercise and genetics are a factor. And throw in some Botox and fillers.

Ugh. I keep thinking of the nasty carpets. I'm sure there was infrastructure that also needed to be fixed like plumbing, electricity, etc.

I wonder why the mansion was left to get in disrepair? I guess with the rise of the internet, buying a magazine went into decline (ew). Or could Hef no longer be bothered?

But you have to remember, it's pretty easy to hop around Europe since the countries are smaller. It's akin to hopping from state to state. You can go from east coast to west and that's about 3,000 miles.

I think there's one more.

I went down the PB rabbit hole (pun not intended), but had no idea Kelly Wearstler was a Playmate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Wearstler

It seemed like respect.

But Kendra always talks about how Hef 'saved' her, or maybe she was brainwashed.

Finished the latest ep. Still trying to process it all. I'm glad these women have found each other and can be a support group. I would love to know more of what happened to Sondra. Reading between the lines, I'm guessing that she became an addict and lost custody of her children and may not have a relationship to them to this day. I do wonder what would have happened to Dorothy Stratton if she lived. Would she have had a big acting career? She was onto a good start being cast in the Peter Bogdanovich movie.

I'm excited to see more Gladys out and about next season, and more Larry. I liked Gladys's fire when she said she was done being told what to do and her having fun with her new bestie. And she deserves better than Oscar. Bridgerton season two comes out soon so that will be my next dose of costume and tiara eye candy. My heart breaks for Peggy and Dorothy. Do we know how old her son is? I'm puzzled as to her father's reasoning of what he did. She was a married woman who had a baby. There's nothing shameful in that. I hope there is less of Foghorn Leghorn, er, MacAllister next season. Someone mentioned wishing that Pumpkin would raise his leg and pee on Raikes. Hee! Can he also take a poop in his hat?

So far I only like the country singer from Arkansas and I'm not into country music.

Agree. Harry and Asta are the heart of the show with the kids being a close second.

I used to work in a library and fees are a pain to deal with. Many times I'd wipe them out or give people an extra renewal if the book wasn't on hold for someone else.

On a little bit of a different topic, I'm surprised Anna Nicole did Playboy. She was signed to a legit modeling agency and was the face of Guess. After PB, the agency dumped her. I don't understand why she didn't continue as a legit fashion model.

My dad is a veteran and all of his healthcare is covered by the VA, even down to his eyeglasses. And when it's not at the VA facility, they pay for it. My dad have to have a brain tumor removed and rehab.

As a southerner, usually only folks raised in the SE can get the accent right a la Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Dennis Quaid, Renee Zellweger, Julia Roberts, etc. The exceptions are Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain in "The Help." Usually, it's a sore thumb and distracting.
