They all said some great things (even Kendra - though I'm not entirely sold on her claim that she's "changing into a woman now.") and I actually found myself sad that the threesome is over. But in the last moments of this episode, each of the women got to reflect on their time at the mansion and with Hef.
GIRLS NEXT DOOR PICTORIAL SERIES
We all know the girls are leaving Hef, but the series has never come right out and made this known. The episode took on the feel of a series finale. The biggest surprise, however, came in the last act. As always, when it comes to these ladies, if there's something they want, they get it. At the top of the episode, while Bridget and Holly were tossing around ideas, the circus theme came up and Holly suggested, "You should get, like, a fire-breathing midget or something." Lo and behold, some 15 minutes later, there stood a fire-breathing circus midget behind a nude, dangling Bridget. But the absolute best part was seeing who else was in the pictorial with Bridget. She had some great photos taken while she posed hanging from a circular trapeze bar. Her love of retro circus acts gave us the setting and it suited her. Bridget had my favorite pictorial shoot in this episode. You might also want to add "nakedness." Though I'm not the biggest fan of Kendra, I can't deny the fact that when she's caked up with make-up, posing naked at sunset on a California beach, she does look pretty damn hot.

Kendra gave us the quote of the evening with, "The key to my pictures is sexuality." When is that not the key to nude pictures? Are there models out there thinking, "The key to my pictures for Playboy is economics"? Or, "The key to my pictures is 18th century French literature." Yes, Kendra, the key to your pictures is sexuality. It was a unique shoot and will likely please a lot of her fans. Defying death, Holly accentuated her nude poses by being wrapped up and locked in chains. Holly, who only recently learned to swim, chose to have her shoot underwater. Much of the rest of the episode was spent watching each of the women at their individual photo shoots. We all have ours, but the series doesn't play favorites. And I was also happy to see we got the same amount of coverage for each of the girls. It was cool to see that with the digital cameras, the photographer could take a photo and then immediately see what it would look like on the cover, with the Playboy logo and all. It was neat to see the set up of the three shoots on the front lawn of the mansion. Watching the process unfold is always interesting, and it was true in this episode as well. Not only was this a great marketing ploy, but it also was a great representation of the girls and the reality series that made them famous. These would be shot in such a way that if you put all three covers together, you'd get one wide shot of the three ladies standing in front of the mansion. The other great idea Holly presented was to have three separate covers for each girl. The episode then graced us with a montage of shots from past Playboys. Kendra pointed out that in past pictorials, the three girlfriends always appeared together. He's seen them naked plenty of times.) The idea for the pictorial was great: each girl would get her own individual shoot. When Holly asked, "Who wants to see us naked again?" the entire room raised their hands. She was named among the top Hooters girls of all time in 2008 as part of the restaurant's twenty-fifth anniversary.The episode started off with Holly and Bridget pitching the idea of a third pictorial to Hef and his buddies. In February 2002, after all but two of his girlfriends left, Madison became Hef's "#1 Girl" and moved into his bedroom at the mansion. She became one of Hefner's seven official girlfriends in August 2001.

After more than a year of visiting the mansion, Madison was invited to move in. After being noticed, she began to receive invitations to the Playboy Mansion. To afford college tuition, she competed to become a Hawaiian Tropic model and worked at Hooters. In 1999, Madison moved to Los Angeles to attend Loyola Marymount University. She attended Portland State University for two years as a double-major in theatre and psychology. Her father traveled around due to work in the timber industry, and from ages two through eleven, she grew up on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, near Ketchikan. Holly was born Holly Madison Cullen in Astoria, Oregon. Her most recent work was as a contestant on the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. Although not a Playboy Playmate, she has appeared in nude pictorials with her Girls Next Door costars and fellow Hefner girlfriends Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson.
