  • Playboy Mansion & Playboy Gracie

        

    I’m back!  I decided to just post on public so I can reserve protected for personal stuff.  Plus, my non-Xanga buds are too lazy to sign up for Xanga just for me. 

     

    PLAYBOY MANSION

     

    As you can already tell by the title…I was at the Playboy Mansion this past weekend.  Andy and I were paparazzi!!  Isn’t that so funny?  One of the partners at my firm said…”If you asked me to pick the person least likely to have been at the Playboy Mansion this weekend it would’ve been Skippee.” 

     

    I met a new friend in my photography class who plans events so she invited me to take photos and stay and party.  How nice is that?!  I love looking at beautiful houses so I knew it would be an awesome opportunity to see one of LA’s most famous pieces of property.

     

    Location:  Holmby Hills near UCLA & the Bel-Air Country Club (and a few miles from Skippee’s house) 

    Size:  21,897 square feet on 5.3 acres

    Includes:  22 rooms, game room, private zoo & aviary, waterfall, etc.

    Purchase Price:  ~$1.2 million in 1971

    The Backyard
    :  It was so awesome being there before all the guests arrived to really be able to check the place out!

     

    Exotic Animals:  There were so many animals!  Hef often rescues injured ones and nurses them back to health.

    Hef’s Star
    :  The tour bunny told us that he hardly leaves his house so they actually gave him another star to keep at home.

    Bobby BrownAfter one of the pics he was like…”Girl, did you  just put BUNNY ears on me?”

    Nadia Bjorlin:  Do you think this is the same person?  I saw so many people I recognized but couldn’t figure out who they were.  The one of the right is Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe from Days of Our Lives).

    PLAYBOY GRACIE

    Gracie has a suitor.  His name is Redford.  At first we thought it was a fluke but we’ve been back many times and he loves her just the same.  Unfortunately, Gracie is playing hard to get!  Redford follows her everywhere…yet she hardly gives him the time of day.

    One time she was going under a chair and hit her head.  Since he was right behind her she totally thought he did it and started barking at him!
