Curfew

Every once in awhile, I catch an episode of The Girls Next Door, the show about Hugh Heffner's three girlfriends. On the episode I saw tonight, the girls headed out to Lodi, Bridget's hometown, where they met up with Bridget's family and friends.

When they got back to the Playboy mansion, they all talked about how Hugh was OK even though they didn't make curfew, because they were in constant contact with him throughout the day. Curfew? Are they 16 years old? On second thought, don't answer that...

And one of his girlfriends, Holly, was freaking out on the way home because they were having movie night at the mansion, and she was worried about who was going to sit next to him. Apparently she had heard stories from ex girlfriends who said that they were gone one night and were then booted out the next day. She also mentioned that she's never been away from him for a night, and they've been together for 4 years.

Not that anything about Hugh Heffner and his girlfriend situation speaks to a normal, healthy relationship, but all of that pretty much shows how weird the whole situation is. I mean, if it works for them, then whatever. But a couple should be secure enough to be apart every once in awhile, and at a certain point, shouldn't one grow out of the whole "curfew" thing?

Bizarre...
