Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion

Overview

What happens in the Mansion, doesn't stay in the Mansion! How did I get here? I was raised a nice Catholic girl in Ontario, Canada. I am an only child whose parents lavished their attention and resources on me. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree and a law degree, and I'm studying to take the California bar. I am comfortable with my own sexuality, responsible for my own orgasm, and have never been sexually or emotionally abused. And yet for two years, I lived at the infamous Playboy Mansion, rolled in a posse of seven succulent beauties, and was a co-girlfriend of the father of the sexual revolution and the world's largest living hedonist. What is wrong with this picture? The Bunnies. The Girlfriends. The Mansion. The Grotto. The Myth. The Man. The Fantasy. The Reality. Izabella St. James left colder climes for the beaches of Malibu. Young, blond, and pretty, she was looking for fun, and the SoCal nightlife was a powerful magnet. Out clubbing one night, she met Hugh Hefner and his friends. Beyond the silk robe and age-proof good looks, Hugh was a genial man who invited Izabella to join his group of friends and then to move into the world-famous Mansion as one of Hef's girlfriends. (Plural.) Bunny Tales is Izabella's story-of a party girl who discovered what work it is to play all the time. Plastic surgery, gorgeous clothes, cool cars, and a generous weekly allowance are the perks of Mansion life, but Hef's girlfriends are a clique, a sorority, a group of best buds, and bitter rivals, the worst of high school in an adult party circuit. Izabella was witness to the growing pains of an empire-and legend-built on a revolution long over. Like the best relationships, Bunny Tales is honest and fun, revealing and real, satisfying and surprising.

  I downloaded this book because I was curious about Hugh Hefner, everyone is on some level. I wasn't expecting greatness. However, I wasn't expecting THIS either.
  
  Ms. St. James' book reads like the diary of a twelve year old, complete with ample spelling grammatical, and punctuation errors. I have to wonder if ANYONE proofread this book before it was published.
  
  If you can get past that you have, well, a self-indulgent, condescending egomaniac desperately trying to justify her actions. Ms. St. James constantly feels the need to remind the reader that she graduated from law school and apparently uses this as her justification for her actions.
  
  In her view, she couldn't possibly be using Hef if she had an education and could, in theory, support herself. She continually condemns girls for actually liking Hef, as well as condemns those who she feels use him for money. Yet, Ms. St. James fails to realize that she used Hef for his money as well.
  
  She continually brags about the monetary contributions Hef made to the girls, but whines that although she got a car, it wasn't the one she wanted or, although he paid for her boobs, he didn't pay off her student loans. She also spend a significant amount of time bragging about celeb connections.
  
  I could go on for days about this narcissist, but I need to find something worth reading. You have been warned.
