The “Hefner widow” is not a blanket store founded in Zamora in 1898, nor is it the name of a gastrotavern where tatakis are perpetrated, but rather Crystal Hefner, the widow – grieved, I suppose – of the founder of Playboy, the last empire of Greco-Roman civilization .
Crystal Hefner, 37, has published a book about her husband, who died in 2017 at the age of 91, a wise man, according to the only plea he made to him when he learned that, as soon as he passed away, he would tell in a book the ins and outs of the Playboy Mansion (not to be confused with a grocery boutique in Northern Catalonia): “Only say good things”.
Candid soul! It already seemed to me that this whole life at home in a red silk dressing gown and a yacht captain’s cap…
In her own way, Crystal has said good things, I’m not saying no, but she has slipped two comments that would have broken her Hugh’s heart: “I still thought I was forty” – she married at 85 – and “she always said she preferred being deaf and still being able to have sexual relations”, given that he had poor hearing –maybe only what interested him– and he abused Viagra, which maintains erectile function but, apparently, I am speaking from hearsay, it causes deafness.
I, to be honest, would censor these two passages because they attack vulnerable groups: the elderly who believe they are 40 years old – those for life, to understand us – and men with hearing problems, whose wives can now accuse them of stuffing themselves with Viagra on the sly.
Naturally, Crystal Hefner evokes those parties with a bad conscience, in the antithesis of “take away my dancing!”, the motto of the lifelong collective and perhaps of Hugh and his friends.
By way of support, I’d like to convey that, in time, you’ll get over it and in about fifty or sixty years you’ll no longer remember those riots, in which one always imagined Hugh saying goodbye to his guests French-style, unlike of the presidents of the bullfights, who do not leave the box until the last sword comes out.
Say nice things… So you can trust grieving widows!
