Hugh Hefner didn't have any ambition; the man collected naked ladies & tried to pawn it off as journalism; maybe it was photo-journalism but he didn't invent the naked lady; if he had been more of an aesthete like Mishima he could have formed his own private army & taken over NOW in a violent feminist coup; if he had been as creative as Disney he would made PLAYBOYLAND, but no, there is no place of rolling daffodils where gorgeous naked women simply lounge around w/ legs open in cowboy boots; if he had been a Beat he would have banged out **** by the ream that no one understood at all; what would a Hugh Hefner novel even look like? Mickey Spillane on ******; but Hefner was not a violent man, he didn't champion the wrong causes; he simply took the bouffant out of the secretary pool; he made the girl next door get naked right next door; Hugh Hefner never made a cartoon out of the bunny logo; the guy wasted all his time grinning & lounging in his smoking jacket looking at naked women & that's all Hugh Hefner did; ******* nearly went bankrupt b/c Hugh Hefner was lazy; he never made a feature film featuring all Playmates; I mean one where every woman in the picture no matter how small the role is a drop-dead gorgeous svelte Western beauty; the French New Wave & Italian Neo-Realists would have plotzed -- but, no, he didn't do that; he had Bettie Page at his fingertips & did nothing w/ her
