Playing at the Playboy Mansion: An Inside Look

by Kevin Hogan

	Next up is a tour of the Mansion grounds and the famous game room where the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and scores of other celebrities played into the night. I had told Dave (Lakhani) that was the one thing I really wanted to do at the Mansion. (He really believed me...)

	The Hefner family was home last night so there was no visiting inside, but the outside was spectacular enough. The aquarium, reptile and birds that Hefner has taken in to mend are all beautiful. But then it was back to pool.

	Guide, Neferteri Sheperd

After departing from playing pool we ran into another group of people taking their own unescorted tour of the mansion. It seems that women are not required to have escorts but men are...and that made a lot of sense.

Laurena Lacey (I told her no one had the last name Lacey in Ireland, she confessed it was her modeling name, that Coffey was her Irish surname. A delightful accent and more than indulgent to our group she somehow pretended that the four of us were cool and she posed for numerous photos in Hefner's front yard. She went way above the call of duty (she was a guest and not not working). She won us all over as fans. I pointed out to Laurena that the cameraman was over there...only to realize that I too was having a blonde moment...

The star is a replica of the one on Hollywood Blvd. Notice my right hand is very far away from Laurena...I promise you that was not an instinct...my conscious mind was 100% kicked in...

Saying goodbye to Miss Coffey's group we asked Neferteri if we could get some shots in back with mansion as backdrop. As always she obliged...and if you turn the page you'll see much more!
