The Girls Next Door

The girls prepare for Christmas, arranging for there to be snow at the mansion.

Holly celebrates her birthday by throwing a party fit for a queen and a king. While Kendra struggles to find an old fashioned party dress for the Marie Antoinette-themed party, Mr. Hefner surprises his main squeeze with a golf cart detailed by Bridget. On the big night, Hollys friends gather at the Mansion for food and fun wearing sexy period costumes.

After helping to decorate a Star Wars themed float for the world famous Tournament of Roses Parade the girls decide to get to work on their New Year's resolutions.

It\'s Holly\'s big chance to serve as apprentice editor under the tutelage of Playboy\'s west coast editor, Marilyn Grabowski.

Holly gives direction to Kendra and Bridget on solo photo shoots for their 2008 calendar.

The girlfriends head to Vail, Colorado to snowboard with Olympic gold-medalist Shaun White. Holly and Bridget practice their moves on the bunny slope while Kendra works on getting that rail.

Valentine\'s week at the Mansion starts with a round of dominoes, gift baskets full of Playboy merchandise and dinner for Hef, the girlfriends and a few Playmates at Trader Vic\'s. The Mardi Gras party provides a perfect end to the week: Bridget\'s costume wows her friends; Holly proves that less of a costume is more; and Kendra hooks her brother up at his first Playboy party.

The eagerness to learn who will become the next Playmate of the Year has the Mansion buzzing as the girls get to know the finalists.

The girls spend some quality time with those other important people in their life: their families.

It\'s an opportunity for Holly to reprise her role as apprentice as she works on a second Playboy pictorial, this time with some of the Bunnies from the Playboy Club in Las Vegas.

Bridget sends her dog to obedience school; Kendra enrolls herself in charm school; Holly continues her photo-editor apprenticeship for Playboy.

Kendra drives a race car. Bridget gets special rims for her Porsche. Holly shops for a Prius.

Hef and the Girls visit the world-famous Renaissance Fair in custom-tailored period attire. Hef is regal, Holly is a princess, and Bridget and Kendra are naughty wenches.

The Playmate of the Year Luncheon is always one of the biggest events of the year at the Mansion. But this year, it's even bigger.
