The Playboy Mansion In The Seventies

1977: I routinely went to the Playboy Mansion for the sedate media events and the occasional Friday night dinner and movie screening. I soon learned there was never any action at the press events and if you wanted to see the action you needed to go without a camera to the private parties. Since I had dated a couple of Hef's centerfolds, I was given some entry to these great parties. The golden rule was if you wanted to attend the best parties up at the mansion, leave your camera at home!
