It all started when I moved into my new apartment in Brooklyn and met my neighbor, Olivia. We became fast friends and so when she had to go out of town on an emergency work trip, I agreed to give her brother her keys so he could look after her dog. And then I met him. Her brother was Carter Stevens and he was sex on legs. He was a banker by day and a musician by night; arrogant, handsome, with the most tantalizing smile I'd ever seen. When he invited me to his show, I couldn't say no. He wasn't looking for a relationship. The night of the show we stumbled back to my place and had fun I can only blush thinking about. I'd never had a one-night stand before, but one night soon led to two, which led to three. Carter was exciting and mysterious, but he was a total playboy. He made it clear that this was some no strings attached fun. But fate had other plans for us. I thought we'd been careful, but I guess there was that one time that we weren't. And now, I'm pregnant and Carter Stevens and I have to figure out what to do next because one thing we both know for sure is that the baby is coming in nine months and we have no idea what to do next.

The Next Hef: Hugh’s 25-Year-Old Son Reveals Plan to Remake Playboy “For My Generation” Cooper Hefner has assumed creative control at the brand his father launched 64 years ago as he brings nude images back to the magazine while lamenting the company's involvement in lowbrow licensing and reality TV: "Nudity hadn't been the problem — it was how it'd been presented." Gary Baum.

Rizvi Traverse, the private equity firm that since 2011 has controlled 70 percent of Playboy and whose other investments include SpaceX , Twitter and Snapchat . (In Hollywood, Kohn is best known for tending to Rizvi Traverse’s since-divested interest in ICM .) Now the polished and self-aware scion, intent on sounding woke and mindful of the brand’s eternal need to provoke (intellectually and sexually), is charting the course for what he hopes will be a more valuable and relevant Playboy. It’s one that doesn’t revolve around his old man (who is ailing and a semi-recluse) or dated totems of lothario living. “Creating something that resonates with my generation and the generation that comes after mine is how I’ll measure my accomplishments,” Cooper says. “His father, when he started — the business succeeded because he found a way to uniquely speak to the young men of that time,” says board member Dick Rosenzweig, who’s been involved with Playboy for 59 years. “Cooper recognizes his father’s intent, and he has a feeling for going about it as well — in his own way.” Cooper is quick to mark distance from his dad’s notorious womanizing, but the two share many similarities, including deeply felt progressive politics. Cooper has thought of running for office but believes his affiliation with an adult entertainment company would likely render him unelectable. And both have a strong affinity for the armed forces. (Hugh served two years in the U.S. Army toward the end of World War II.) “I’m a liberal, and I have a real issue with the conservative side feeling like they own the military,” says Cooper, who joined the California State Military Reserve in January. Cooper began participating in board meetings as a nonvoting observer while still in college — spurred by anxiety about his father, who in recent years has receded from public view. (Contending with back trouble, the famously virile eponymous playboy doesn’t want to be photographed strolling with his walker and fiddling with hearing aids.) “It’s tough to watch him struggle, but I’m just happy it’s physical and not mental,” says Cooper. His father’s oldest friends still visit for weekly dinners and film screenings, and he provides periodic notes on the magazine. (The elder Hefner was not made available to THR for this story.) The mansion is quieter now, hosting a few parties a year (like one in April celebrating Amazon’s docuseries about Hugh, American Playboy ). Not long ago, the house was maxed out as a revenue generator, hosting a shindig a week, with business partners, potential business partners and random people willing to fork over the $50,000-a-night rental fee. In a highly publicized deal, Daren Metropoulos , the 33-year-old heir to the Hostess Brands fortune, purchased the mansion in 2016 for $100 million, with the stipulation that the elder Hefner remain there until his death. Metropoulos , who has no ownership stake in Playboy, lives next door in a home he previously had bought from Hefner (and where Conrad lived until Cooper was 18). Cooper, a child of ultra-privilege, is keenly aware of how he navigates his advantage. After attending the elite yet strict Ojai Valley School, he majored in film production at Chapman University in Orange County. He opted to pass on a legacy admission to USC, where his father has donated millions. “It made my heart feel better to go to Chapman,” he says. “It didn’t feel like it was given to me.” Still, he’s not above working his gold-plated connections. He met Byrne six years ago after crushing on her as Pansy Parkinson in the Harry Potter films and then finagling an only-in-Hollywood introduction put into motion by friend Scout Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. “I thought, ‘Wow, that girl’s really pretty — I’m going to go on a date with her,’ ” Cooper recalls. (They live together in Marina del Rey.) Not in the picture at Playboy is Hefner’s elder brother, Marston, 27, who was initially positioned as a co-heir apparent. He’s been out of the public eye since a February 2012 domestic violence incident in which Pasadena police were called to the home he shared with his live-in Playmate girlfriend, Claire Sinclair. Recently, he’s been teaching English in Japan. “My dad was public about wanting us to run the organization together, but it became evident as we got older that it was not something that spoke to him,” says Cooper. Cooper regularly seeks counsel from another sibling, half-sister Christie, 64, who ran the company for more than two decades ending in 2009. “She can relate to the situation more than anyone could,” he says. Christie often urges him to keep a clear head in business discussions: “For me as a 25-year-old, that’s sometimes challenging,” he admits. “My emotions get the best of me.” Also educational is what he saw as Playboy’s lucrative but demeaning involvement with reality TV and lowbrow licensing.

    The Queen’s commonwealth Day Message 2021 The Queen’s commonwealth Day Message 2021: Over the coming week, as we celebrate the friendship, spirit of unity and achievements of the Commonwealth, we have an opportunity to reflect on a time like no other. Whilst experiences of the last year have been different across the Commonwealth, stirring examples of courage, commitment and selfless dedication to duty have been demonstrated in every Commonwealth nation and territory, notably by those working on the front line who have been delivering health care and other public services in their communities. We have also taken encouragement from remarkable advances in developing new vaccines and treatments. The testing times experienced by so many have led to a deeper appreciation of the mutual support and spiritual sustenance we enjoy by being connected to others. The need to maintain greater physical distance, or to live and work largely in isolation, has, for many people across the Commonwealth, been an unusual experience. In our everyday lives, we have had to become more accustomed to connecting and communicating via innovative technology – which has been new to some of us – with conversations and communal gatherings, including Commonwealth meetings, conducted online, enabling people to stay in touch with friends, family, colleagues, and counterparts who they have not been able to meet in person. Increasingly, we have found ourselves able to enjoy such communication, as it offers an immediacy that transcends boundaries or division, helping any sense of distance to disappear. We have all continued to appreciate the support, breadth of experiences and knowledge that working together brings, and I hope we shall maintain this renewed sense of closeness and community.

  • Burkas and Bikinis: Playboy in Indonesia1
    DE1- 173-I BURKAS AND BIKINIS: PLAYBOY IN INDONESIA1 Original written by professor David Bach at IE Business School. Original version, 3 June 2011. Published by IE Business Publishing, María de Molina 13, 28006 – Madrid, Spain. ©2011 IE. Total or partial publication of this document without the express, written consent of IE is prohibited. Christie Hefner was no stranger to controversy. She had the physical appearance of the All- American professional: perfectly coiffeured shiny blond hair, tasteful yet elegant outfits, and understated jewelry that nevertheless communicated both style and confidence. Anybody meeting her for the first time could have been forgiven for mistaking her for a lawyer, consultant, or the general manager of an upscale country club. Hefner was nothing of the sort for she was both a self-proclaimed feminist and the CEO of the company with the most recognizable name in men's entertainment: Playboy Enterprises. Since taking over the company from her father Hugh Hefner, the quintessential playboy, she had had to work her way out of many difficult situations, both in Playboy’s U.S. home market and overseas. But for two months, after receiving an unnerving phone call in December 2006 that Erwin Arnada, the editor-in-chief of Playboy Indonesia, had been charged and indicted for promoting obscenity, Hefner had been agonizing over possible courses of action. Her most immediate concern was for Arnada’s safety. But she also knew that the incident raised important questions beyond Arnada. In managing the situation, Hefner had to make decisions that would inevitably affect the future global strategy of Playboy Enterprises.

  • Hugh Hefner's After Dark: Speaking out in America
    HUGH HEFNER'S AFTER DARK: SPEAKING OUT IN AMERICA (dir. Brigitte Berman, 2018 – 101 mins) Hugh Hefner splits opinion like a Wonderbra cleavage. His perennial two-finger–salute to censorship and lifelong crusade for sexual freedom won him money, power and respect – built on the foundations of launching a dirty magazine. What Hefner’s empire culturally represents often leaves me considering where I stand on feminism and structural power, as he veers in and out of my coming-of-age experiences, and Brigitte Berman’s documentary Hugh Hefner’s After Dark: Speaking Out in America brought me to another personal checkpoint, and on-the-fence regarding Hefner's legacy. I remember buying a vintage copy of Playboy magazine for a once-upon-a-time boyfriend. I was trying to be ‘the cool girl’ with a blasé approach to what I presumed was an innate male need to enjoy the female form. He would buy Nuts, and FHM and in the way I’ve always tried to raise the bar of my boyfriends' lifestyle choices, I believed Playboy would add a touch of class to the otherwise crass act of objectification. A vintage copy seemed to legitimise the gratuity. The sepia tones creating a force-field from critique; the ear-marked pages commanded a nostalgic, romanticised respect. The gratitude I received from aforementioned boyfriend, and – full disclosure – the ambiguous enjoyment I got from scrutinising these scantily-clad women, led me to buy a hardcover edition of Playboy At 50, complete with some of the publication’s most lauded editorial content, including interviews with an array of the most politically- influential people operating throughout the magazine’s 50-year run.

  • Hugh Hefner,Princess Diana – Legend Of
    Legend of the month – Stephen Hawking Professor Stephen William Hawking was born on 8th January 1942 (exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. His parents’ house was in north London but during the second world war Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies. When he was eight his family moved to St. Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At the age of eleven, Stephen went to St. Albans School and then on to University College, Oxford (1952); his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to study mathematics although his father would have preferred medicine. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he pursued physics instead. After three years and not very much work, he was awarded a first class honours degree in natural science. In October 1962, Stephen arrived at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge to do research in cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time. His supervisor was Dennis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge. After gaining his PhD (1965) with his thesis titled ‘Properties of Expanding Universes‘, he became, first, a research fellow (1965) then Fellow for Distinction in Science (1969) at Gonville & Caius college. In 1966 he won the Adams Prize for his essay ‘Singularities and the Geometry of Space-time’. Stephen moved to the Institute of Astronomy (1968), later moving back to DAMTP (1973), employed as a research assistant, and published his first academic book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with George Ellis.

  • Selling the Male Consumer the Playboy Way
    !1 Selling the Male Consumer the Playboy Way Abstract Under the direction of Hugh Hefner, Playboy magazine’s early success was predicated upon the unique marketing strategies of forging the persona of an idealized, imaginary reader called the playboy, with particular lifestyles and taste preferences. At the same time it sold the value of men’s participation in the hedonistic pleasures of accessible connoisseurship of the postwar marketplace by aligning consumer desires with sexual desires as innate components of modern masculinity. This purpose of this paper is to illustrate how this persona is visually and discursively articulated throughout the entire Playboy empire, from the content of the magazines including the dewy centerfolds and the What Sort of Man Reads Playboy? campaigns, to the brand’s clubs and television shows. The persona undertook the dual tasks of attracting a lucrative male readership and its corresponding advertisers, while simultaneously redefining male consumer culture. Keywords: Playboy, masculinity, consumer culture, market segmentation, commercial personae !2 In 1953, Playboy magazine began on a shoestring budget and subsequently grew to become one of the most successful magazine franchises in history, due in part to the genius of its enigmatic founder, Hugh Hefner. Under Hefner’s direction Playboy sold over one million copies a month by 1959 and, eventually, over seven million copies a month at its zenith in 1972 (Grunelius, 2009; Watts, 2008). The magazine also spawned a cultural empire with a series of books including the Playboy Gourmet, two syndicated TV shows ‘Playboy Penthouse’ and ‘Playboy After Dark’, 17 international Playboy clubs and resorts, along with innumerable licensed products ranging from cufflinks to garter belts.
