There’s more than a touch of the Howard Hughes about Hugh Hefner, from the compulsive behaviors — his evening meal is always served with “apple sauce and a glass of cold milk” — to the cataloguing of his sexual conquests. And as a sly biographical examination of Hef, his rampant egomania and his fossilized sexual attitudes, this book certainly provides good material for any future biographer. St James does eventually grow tired of living life as if she were “in a car commercial,” not to mention the “sex duties” and the perpetual cat-fighting with the other Girlfriends.
But she also genuinely believes that it was a small price to pay for entry into an MTV lifestyle. Oh, and the US$20-million-a-movie actor? She reveals at the end of the book that he changed his mind and that they’re now dating.
