ok, so there is a slim shot that I might be going out to la over Christmas break. What I am wondering is what is the Playboy Mansion Address. I mean hey I know it’s a long shot in hell, but you never know. Thanks. PS - anybody ever been there? ---

You need to know a password to get in. Ever watch Viva la Bam? Bam knows the password (they bleep it out of course) and they are allowed in. ---

Hey, and you can drop in on Nancy Reagan while you’re in the neighborhood! She’s just about half-a-mile to the north of Hef’s place … . ---

You might want to go here as it’s the closest you’re probably ever going to get to the Playboy Mansion. 😉 [http://playboy.com/worldofplayboy/hmh/](http://playboy.com/worldofplayboy/hmh/) Click on “Inside the Mansion,” you’ll see a few pics, including part of Hefner’s bedroom. “A Day In the Life…” is pretty cool, too. ---

Umm…not that it shouldn’t be self evident, but just as a warning, that site obviously isn’t something that you should look at from work. ---

I found it when I was in L.A., and it really wasn’t very exciting from the outside. It’s surrounded by high hedges and you really can’t see much. ---

Of course the password is “I have an emergency Viagra delivery for Mr. Hefner…” Works every time… ---

Funny you should bring this up. My boss and I were talking about single malt scotches after a particularly trying day, and she told me that when she was working for the City of Santa Monica, she received an invitation to a scotch tasting at the Playboy Mansion. According to her, it is often used for catered affairs and parties that are only tangentially related to the Playboy empire. She said it was a beautiful place, and very luxurious, but that Hef was no where in sight and neither were any naked women. ---

Having worked for The Playboy Channel for one glorious, magical week of my life, I can proudly say I was there for a day. And I saw nude women (as part of the film shoot. They were playing tennis!). The grounds are beautiful, but actually having to work that day rubbed some of the gloss from my enjoyment of it. I wasn’t allowed to go into any of the buildings, either. And no Hef. And the security guards were pretty hostile to the crew. On balance, though, I would say the experience was 🆒 ---

> [@Pochacco](#): > > Hey, and you can drop in on Nancy Reagan while you’re in the neighborhood! She’s just about half-a-mile to the north of Hef’s place … . Can we get a sticky forbidding Nacy Reagan’s name from being mentioned in a thread about Playboy from now on? 😉 I’ll be over in the corner with my knees to my chest, softly weeping as I rock back and forth. ---

Why? Did you combine the thought of Playboy’s famed centerfolds and the former First Lady into an image of NANCY REAGAN NAKED? Is the thought of NANCY REAGAN NAKED disturbing to you? Wouldn’t you like to see NANCY REAGAN NAKED and making a come-hither facial expression while she reclines on a luxurious velvet couch? ---

Not as much as if she were featured in a Hustler pictorial featuring Louie Anderson and Suzanne Roberts (Seeking Solutions with Suzanne, the most frightening thing on television ever.) ---
