Claire SInclair had a argument that got out of hand yesterday. Cops were called and she’s got a 3 day restraining order against Hef’s son while she moves out of the apartment. Doesn’t sound like she got hurt badly. The cops observed a few red marks and that’s all it takes for an arrest. The article says Marston was threatening her and wouldn’t let her leave. I’m glad it didn’t escalate any further. _Any violence_ in a relationship is too much. Marston was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. She’s very attractive. I’d be too busy loving her to waste any time arguing. 😉 [![](http://xaxor.com/images/Claire-Sinclair-Twitter-pics/Claire-Sinclair-Twitter-pics4.jpg) ](http://xaxor.com/images/Claire-Sinclair-Twitter-pics/Claire-Sinclair-Twitter-pics4.jpg) > [@](#): > > Sinclair told cops Marston had punched her, kicked her in the stomach and then refused to let her leave the residence.

Huh - that’s not his “oldest son” as TMZ is stating. His oldest son is 55. ---

I knew his oldest son. We were in high school together, he was a year younger than me, his sister Christie was a year older. She was a cheerleader type, I knew who she was, but I used to ditch study hall with Hef’s son and smoke dope in the woods. They went by their mother’s maiden name in school, but everyone knew that they were Hefner’s kids. The son was a cool guy, I heard he went on to be a photographer, Christie went on to run the Playboy empire. This guy in the news sounds creepy. ---

Wait. There’s something wrong here. She’s not a plastic blonde. When did that happen? Last I knew you never saw more than one token non-plastic blonde in Playboy in any given year. Or is she the token? ---

The two kids Hef had with Kimberley Conrad were raised in the shadow of the Playboy mansion. They were around when Hef had the three gf’s (Holly,Kendra, Bridget). I’m not sure how Kimberley could have maintained any sort of normal childhood for those kids. I’ve read she was pretty strict and tried to shield them from the Playboy stuff. I found this GQ article from 2008. Marston seemed like a pretty level headed teen then. At that time he was looking at colleges to attend. > **[Growing Up When You're the Son of Hugh Hefner](https://www.gq.com/story/marston-hefner-hugh-playboy-playmate)** > > Marston Hefner's father is Hugh Hefner. His mother is 1989's Playmate of the Year. Still, the kid had a fairly normal childhood. ---

Last I knew you never saw more than one token non-plastic blonde in Playboy in any given year. Or is she the token? In 2011 the PMOM’s were split 6 and 6 blondes and brunettes. Not all the blondes are of the “plastic” variety, but yes, many of them are. Readers get to vote for PMOY, and 7 of the last 10, including the last 4 in a row, have been brunettes. ---

I think Claire Sinclair’s quite the looker, but I just don’t have all that much interest in the retro pinup style that she has pretty much built her image around. ---
