Description
From a former Playboy Playmate, an unflinching look at the objectification and misogyny of the Playboy mansion, a woman's stolen young adulthood, and her journey to self-acceptance-plus a rare look inside Hugh Hefner's final days. Crystal Harris' life changed forever when she was just twenty-one and attended a party at the notorious Playboy mansion. Picked out of the crowd by Hugh Hefner, Crystal Harris became one of his infamous "girlfriends," attending glamorous Hollywood parties and traveling the world. But being Hef's number one girlfriend came at the cost of Crystal's identity outside her role in the Playboy universe, and she grew increasingly restless to understand who she truly was away from what she saw as Playboy's toxic culture. Hef controlled his girlfriends with strict rules regarding everything from their hair and makeup to their curfews, forcing them to compete with one another as part of a highly hierarchal system. Only Say Good Things provides a fascinating look behind the scenes at a powerful cultural icon and brand, and an empowering perspective on hard-won lessons about who we allow to determine our value.
