“Over the years, I would see so many girls come and go through that cavernous master bedroom,” the late HughHefner’s honey Holly Madison wrote in her 2015 autobiography. “I never encouraged anyone to go up there—I didn’t want to do to those girls what Vicky {presumably Victoria Silvstedt, as detailed in our prior post} had done to me. I had been used, plain and simple. I was naïve.”

According to the blonde girlfriend who partially replaced Madison in the Mansion, Izabella St. James {getting a leg up on the competition, below left} rival Holly was downright nasty, not naïve {pooling their resources, below right}.

“Holly became Hef’s main girlfriend by default because no one else wanted the position.”

And what particular position was that? “It entailed sexual activity that no one else wanted to participate in: analsex {spelling it out, below left}. Hefner liked to use dildos and other sex toys on Holly (below right) and have her use them on him too.

“So to speak, she had to take one for the team, and she always did. It was very belittling and she was the only one who did that or had to do that. I think everyone looked down on her for having to be in that position.

Bottom line (above),” St. James surmises, “Holly became useful to him because from the very beginning she was willing to do things that other girls were not willing to do. I think that is truly the root of where her resentment comes in.”

Certainly toward her eventual replacement, Crystal Harris—who baldly elbowed her way into Hef’s harem (at right below) while he was sleeping with the Shannon Twins and moving in on notoriously “nothing underneath” Ukrainian Dasha Astafieva (inset).

“I’m a good girl, for the most part,” Crystal cooed upon joining the foursome in January 2009 {after the Girls Next Door exited the Mansion}. “No other girlfriends are in the mix at this time {how conventional}, but there are a couple that we have interest in …. As for now, it is just us three.”

Karissa and Kristina Shannon had fulfilled the titan’s “twin fetish” when Sandy and Mandy Bentley got caught up in an escort scandal {detailed in our last blog} … and the ‘auditioning’ Astafieva soon found herself russian into a similar fate.

“Hugh Hefner is a busy, horny man,” the Hollywood Gossip had reported in December 2008. “News of his sexual exploits with the Shannon Twins have been well-documented, but sources say he has been getting it on with exotic model Dasha Astafieva. ‘Hef is totally smitten with her. She is not his regular type {i.e., blonde American}, but he says something about her is really doing it for him,’ said an insider.”

And bedmate emeritus Izabella St. James suspected a talent for tricks might have provided that special something: “Then there was the quiet, well-hidden Playmate scandal,” she writes in her Playboy exposé. “Hef kept getting e-mails and phone calls from madams in Los Angeles that a few Playmates, including some of his live-in Girlfriends, were showing up on their rosters of high-priced hookers.

“This finally became a household controversy when some of the main candidates for Playmate of the Year were implicated.”

“Dasha Astafieva is the cover girl for Playboy’s 55th anniversary issue,” implied the Hollywood Gossip. “She is a ‘model’ whom Hugh Hefner is said to be ‘banging’ (below left). But you never know. Hef might be mostly satisfied with his three other live-in Girlfriends and she might seek satisfaction with other rich lovers (below right). In any case, we will be following the ‘career’ of Dasha Astafieva closely.”

Reveals Izzy St. James: “Despite claims of innocence and non-involvement, Hef could not take the chance. The Playmate of the Year went to another girl, who was not implicated. He really had no choice, and while the girl was beautiful and exotic, she essentially got it by default.”

Still, it’s hard to find fault with the 2009 title holder, 32D-21-35 Ida (pronounced ‘EE-duh’) Ljungqvist—the first ever Playmate born in Africa {Tanzania}. Instantly, Dasha was out of the harem … while Hef, the Shannons and newcomer Crystal Harris welcomed the winner to the (gate)fold.

Squeaky clean, to counteract the ‘Pay•boy’ escort scandal, Ida became “the first Playmate of the Year to publicly dedicate her title to philanthropic work”—and even joined Mother Teresa’s charitable organization!

“My dad, he’s, like, saving the world,” the do-gooder declared in her Playmate profile. “So good luck to whoever decides to [date] me! He’ll have some big shoes to fill.” Wonder if the Big Guy (inset) got to fill that slot (below) when Ljungqvist lived in his home?

Perhaps not … since after her reign ended, Ida was spotted making out with one of her Mansion roommates on a 4th of July ‘date’ in Hollywood. “So apparently Kristina Shannon is a lesbian now,” read one report. “The blonde twin was spotted with her new girlfriend, Playboy Playmate of the Year 2009 Ida Ljungqvist—eating dinner and kissing inside and outside Katsuya Restaurant in Los Angeles” (below left).

“And the two were pictured holding hands as they departed” (above right).

“The super Playboy Playmate duo were putting on a serious PDA {Public Display of Affection} show on the streets of Hollywood for the paparazzi—where they locked lips on several occasions to declare their love for each other, while introducing their same-sex relationship to the world.” They even paused for a bit of car•nal knowledge …

… before head•ing back (below left) to their luxury hotel for a steamy session in the rooftop ja•cooze•i, below right—signed for the Sleuth by the stacked and shaved Sapphic stunner.

Perhaps, in this case, Ida’s inscription “PMOY” stands for “PudendaMons of the Year!”

Happily, the scene was captured on film:

“You just know there will be a sex video coming soon,” predicted Gutter Uncensored. “Mmmm, a hot interracial lesbian porn with two Playboy bunnies. I’m giddy with anticipation just thinking about it.”

Right prediction … wrong twin! For the interracial sex tape involved sister Karissa … and a guy—actor Sam {Smallville} Jones III … whose pull was so strong that he lured her away from Hefner, exposed her boob on the red carpet (below left) and jerked her chain as she re•sip•rocated on his rod (below right).

Their 2010 sex tape, which they sold to Vivid Video, begins with Hef checking up on Karissa by phone—while she lies in bed with her lover (sequence from top left)—before videotaping herself being impaled (top right) in every position of the Camera Sutra (bottom row).
