Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion by Jennifer Saginor

This book is a memoir written by Jennifer Saginor, the daughter of "Doc" Saginor, aka "Dr. Feelgood" aka Hugh Hefner's personal physician for many years. Jennifer started hanging out at the Playboy Mansion at about 6 years old. She walked in on John Belushi and a playmate and regularly played hide and go seek with the Playmates, and hobnobbed with the many celebrities who spent time there. Her parents had divorced and didn't get along and her father basically brainwashed her against her mother (although her mother didn't seem to do much to protect her from her unstable father). Through the years Jennifer enjoyed being part of such a famous setting and regularly bragged to her friends and lived it up at the mansion. Jennifer got caught up in drugs and drinking at a young age since she was basically living unsupervised. Her father was an abusive drug addict who didn't think twice about what he was exposing his young daughter to (who admits that even now as an adult she doesn't respect women because she was taught that women are objects) day after day. At 14 Jennifer had an affair with one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends (called Kendall in the book, but it's now known that it was actually Carrie Leigh). It's interesting to see what things were like at the mansion back in those days and it paints quite a different picture than what's shown on "The Girls Next Door" on E! The book was interesting, but it's really sad to see how that lifestyle affects Jennifer Saginor, even now years later. She has no relationship with her mother, father, or sister, and as I mentioned before, has a hard time seeing women as anything more than objects. She lived in a fantasy world, but found it to be desperately lonely and she is certainly still paying the price of her parents' mistakes.
