Another article by Chris Jones, covering Manly Night at the Playboy Mansion, really exemplifies his great writing ability. Although I'm not Hugh Hefner's biggest fan, I never knew much about him other then his role in Playboy Magazine, I was able to enjoy the article a lot.
It was really endearing to be get the opportunity to be a fly on the wall at Manly Night, it gave a great look into Hefner's life. From my previous understandings nights at the Hefner mansion were full of extravagant and outrageous parties. Manly Night, I thought, would have been the same, however, clearly I was wrong.
Jones does a great job portraying the events of Manly Night for the reader. It's truly just a few old friends having Innocent fun watching movies. It's nothing how I pictured it. It appears that Manly Night is also extremely exclusive so I think its great that Jones was able to get an insiders look to the club.
Something that I also admire about Jones is his ability to take himself out of the story although he was in the middle of it, he makes it look like he was a fly on the wall rather then a guest, a technique I have to get more familiar with.
