Win an invitation to the most bittersweet Playboy Mansion party ever thrown
If you’ve ever dreamed of attending a party at the legendary Playboy Mansion but lack the star power of a Pauly Shore, you may finally get your chance this Friday: Included inside the pages of the approximately 200,000 issues of the magazine will be 10 “Golden Tickets” to the annual Midsummer Night’s Dream Party, a Willy Wonka-inspired promotion that substitutes licking snozzberries for the chance to avoid hepatitis-B. As the amusingly named editorial director Jimmy Jellinek notes, it’s the first time the doors of the fabled mansion have been “swung open” to the public, allowing the average man to mingle with “Hollywood stars and Playboy models often wearing little but body paint,” resulting in “stories [the average reader] can't tell their wives and girlfriends but will last forever.” Like the time you stood in the Bacardi line for half an hour while Bill Maher talked to some waitress 20 feet away and you saw her blue nipples.
