Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion
Bunny Tales Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion
Author: Izabella St. James
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 o...  more » 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 really did enjoy this book. If you are interested in wanting to know what really goes on in the mansion, this is a good book. Not boring...keeps your attention the whole way through.

I read for the behind-the-scenes details. It's definitely a guilty read, especially as you have to question St. James's motivations for writing. If you're interested in the world of Hugh Hefner, it's worth reading.

I was disappointed in this book. It was very repetitive and I thought it would offer more "dirt" but found it to be more Hef bashing and celebrity name dropping.

Izabella claimes to "always care about Hef" but it's not evidenced in the book.

It's a guilty read - however it is riddled with grammatical errors. It seems like Ms. St. James focuses on bashing people rather than providing a behind the scenes look.

Can you say, boring? I felt that this book was a complete drag. I tried so hard just to finish this book because I kept thinking there would be more dirt about the playboy mansion. Izabella gave some dirt, but most of it was just gibberish. The book felt like she was just on a complete spree of writing containing several grammatical errors. I would not waste a credit on this book. What you already think about the playboy mansion is correct, she just varifies it for you. Dull, Dull, and more Dull.

This book was an interesting read but a little slow and repetitive. It was interesting to learn what living at the famous Mansion would have been like. Didn't realize how much of an ass Hef could be. Only down side to this book is that many facts are repeated in other parts of the book.
