Activist. Author. Editor. Publisher. Cartoonist. Ladies man. Hugh M. Hefner played a key role in America evolving from its more puritanical and conservative ways, to take a more "european" outlook on nudity, sex, and freedom. He taught many about what it is to be a gentleman. To uphold one's self with dignity, class, charisma, and intelligence. Rather than view women as sex objects, as some claim, he portrayed them with class, sensuality, and style. More like a work of fine art, a Mona Lisa, if you will, to be appreciated with dignity. He marched singers of minority race such as Aretha Franklin into predominately white jazz clubs to sing, right in the front door, treated like the star she was, in times when it was still socially unacceptable to do so. A true pioneer that embodied the words "class" and "gentleman". Enjoy his first 42 pages, the entire unedited issue, as he intended.

***Updated to v1.1! Thanks Cyberglo! - Now pages can go in reverse/backwards by clicking left side! (also still happy to accept further revisions that add functions for convenience ie "skip to page 123"..., or a bookmark feature to save the page you were reading/progress, and definitely an overhaul of how images are read: read pages from inventory ordered alphanumerically instead of uuid....and reading 2 seperate pages at same time, ie image 001&002, rather than image 001 which is 1 image of page 1&2...2 pages per 1 image. 1 page per 1 image would be way faster. These improvements could change it so books could be created in minutes; not numerous hours and days. Might delay making any new releases until we can turn this into a process that takes up to 5 minutes per book or magazine; compared to 8 or more hours currently.

i'll check this out next time I'm in Open Sim. Can't say I'm a complete fan of Hugh, but I find his life fascinating enough.

Not commenting or expressing an opinion one way or another but any consideration of Hugh Hefner would be incomplete without taking into account the experiences of those around him: in this context the women he made his fortune from. Crystal Hefner's Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself gives a more nuanced, inside view of the Playboy world from the perspective of a woman who was intimately involved with Hugh Hefner.

while some may view her opinions as simply trash talking the man she chose to use for fame and connections and financial support. she tried to use the playboy fame to get a singing/recording contract, she took a "job" for like $20 per hour at one point "scrapbooking" for hef, which, people who truly loved him would probably had done for free. And then you have her runaway bride episode where she stood him up at the altar, that could be seen as her struggle of whether she should "sell herself" for the fame and fortune she craved. there is always 2 sides to a coin, and i'm sorry if i can't see women as victims and hold them accountable for their own personal choice to compromise some of their values and ethics for the fame and fortune that they craved. I find it despicable to use someone for financial stability and career growth, but frankly, that is personal between Hef and the women that Chose to be in his life. That is their business. But nobody is under the illusion that in his elderly years, at least, that these women in their 20's were with him because he was so handsome or charming or good in bed or whatever lol. He used them and they used him. He had a public image and reputation to maintain.

I will say that the landing point puts you somewhere else, forcing you to type:
gtp 407 163
In firestorm.
Also you won't find a playboy (or any other) vendor. It's in a bookshelf that I only found on accident. Cute idea, but as you add more books (?) you should consider some sort of way to display them on the bookshelf that is visually obvious.
The script is no-mod/no-trans; which sounds like it's unintentional? (otherwise I wouldn't mention it. :))

I explained this on Cyberglo's comment on the Canterbury Tales; there is 1 shelf per letter of the alphabet. Starting at the back wall, 1st floor, it goes A-M. then you climb the stairs and find N wrapping around to Z. the final, wide shelf, just past Z, is labeled as the magazine rack. and yeah, i will check the perms, ty for telling me. hopefully it will be made irrelevant someday if i can get some help improving the script, because there are ways books can be made in minutes rather than numerous hours/days. :)

Pre-emptive disclaimer: The is a magazine of great historical significance. If you personally object to nudity, his views, the man himself, or any of the words *I* typed, please continue on your way. Imagine yelling at a store clerk because the store had the audacity to offer a shirt or a dress in the color green, and you despise the color green. (but not a REAL green dress, that's cruel!)

I would say he has a complicated legacy, and respecting your disclaimer I'm not here to argue. I did actually come to point out that you can lock comments and or delete comments, including this one if you want...lol. Appreciate the Barenaked Ladies quote:)
