À propos de cet audio
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • AN APPLE BOOKS STAFF PICK AND AUDIBLE EDITORS SELECT• ONE OF PEOPLE'S BEST CELEBRITY MEMOIRS OF 2024 • NAMED A BEST BOOK TO READ THIS JANUARY BY THE GLOSS
From a former Playboy Playmate, an unflinching look at the objectification and misogyny of the Playboy mansion, a woman’s stolen young adulthood, and her journey to self-acceptance–plus a rare look inside Hugh Hefner’s final days.
Crystal Harris’ life changed forever when she was just twenty-one and attended a party at the notorious Playboy mansion. Picked out of the crowd by Hugh Hefner, Crystal Harris became one of his infamous “girlfriends,” attending glamorous Hollywood parties and traveling the world. But being Hef’s number one girlfriend came at the cost of Crystal’s identity outside her role in the Playboy universe, and she grew increasingly restless to understand who she truly was away from what she saw as Playboy’s toxic culture. Hef controlled his girlfriends with strict rules regarding everything from their hair and makeup to their curfews, forcing them to compete with one another as part of a highly hierarchal system.
Only Say Good Things provides a fascinating look behind the scenes at a powerful cultural icon and brand, and an empowering perspective on hard-won lessons about who we allow to determine our value.

Histoire
The contemporary art market is an international juggernaut, throwing off multimillion-dollar deals as wealthy buyers move from fair to fair, auction to auction, party to glittering party. But none of it would happen without the dealers - the tastemakers who back emerging artists and steer them to success, often to see them picked off by a rival. Dealers operate within a private world of handshake agreements, negotiating for the highest commissions. Michael Shnayerson, a longtime contributing editor to Vanity Fair, writes the first-ever definitive history of their activities.

Histoire
In 2016, Bob Dylan sold his personal archive to the George Kaiser Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, reportedly for $22 million. As the boxes started to arrive, the Foundation asked Clinton Heylin—author of the acclaimed Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades and 'perhaps the world's authority on all things Dylan' (Rolling Stone)—to assess the material they had been given. What he found in Tulsa—as well as what he gleaned from other papers he had recently been given access to by Sony and the Dylan office—so changed his understanding of the artist.

Histoire
Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy.

From the time she was a girl, Jane Goodall dreamed of a life spent working with animals. Finally she had her wish. When she was 26 years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. On her expeditions she braved the dangers with leopards and lions in the African bush. And she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees - intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“[Crystal] didn’t hold back — even when it came to describing her first night in the mansion — complete with three other women, pornographic videos, baby oil, and no condoms in sight — and has no regrets about spilling the X-rated details.” —New York Post
"[Hefner's] frank memoir scratches some of the glitter off Playboy’s notorious legacy of sexual freedom, luxury, and excess. An illuminating tell-all."—Kirkus Reviews
"[A] juicy debut memoir. . . This tell-all is surprisingly empowering."—Publishers Weekly
Honest and relevent

To the people accusing Crystal of drugging her elder spouse? Who actually cares? If she did it or didn't do it. I am going to cite this heavily in how older people suck the life out of younger people. However, that might not be the story kind Crystal tells you. This woman has been demonized and dragged through the mud. To me, she is someone who sought out a Glamorous life but in the end, learned to be independent. By the way, at 38 years old, she is still Beautiful.
This woman teaches the reader a lot about love, loss, using people, and the cost of complying to a Narcissistic Dictator. If she had walked out on Hefner in his final years? It honestly would have been justified.
Honest, compelling and not pure Demonization

Enjoyable!

Although, I’m not sure if Crystal truly understands the meaning of being poor, or being just an ordinary person. Poor people don’t have a car in school, their Mothers don’t get nips and tucks. I don’t think Crystal is trying to be disingenuous when she makes these references. In the area of LA where Crystal lived I suppose using drug store makeup and department store clothing is living “poor”.
Crystals story is a cautionary tale of how women must have self esteem/respect if they are ever to survive a world of unrealistic beauty expectations. Even if you don’t care about Playboy, Crystals story should be shared with any woman looking towards breast enhancement surgery.

I listened to her book 🎧 because she narrated it herself (love it when they read their own stories).
Wtf. Humans like him really exist ? It’s disgusting. But she seams like a real genuine and amazing person and I wish her only the best.
