You know her, right? She's Kendra Wilkinson, one of the Girl's Next Door.
Back in the old days, when you said "girl next door" it meant; "a wholesome, naturally pretty, demure female who embodies a man's more mature and tamer instincts for tender companionship". Today however, that definition seems to have have...evolved... a bit.
Kendra, for example, isn't particularly demure. She shares her 82 year old boyfriend with two other voluptuous blondes, loves boxing and has been know to perform as a "painted girl". (That, for those not up on such things, is "a women who entertains completely nude, except for painted-on accessories"
OK, enough with the popular culture lessons, Kendra also plays golf. She's the "the sporty one" of Hugh Hefners three fair haired girlfriends. That's what she told reporters at Ryan Sheckler’s X Games Celebrity Golf Tournament.
The celebrity studded event, hosted by X Games champion Ryan Sheckler, took place the day before yesterday at the awesome Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes, CA, and included an 18 hole skins game where players were pitted against one another in match play for the opportunity to win a $10,000 skin for the charity of their choice on each hole. There was also a putting contest for additional charity prizes. Some of the celebs competing on Tuesday were actors like Jerry O'Connell,Brody Jenner and the gorgeous Audrina Partridge. Soccer Star Mia Hamm played too, as did the much maligned Kevin Federline. It seems K-Fed was teeing off just as the earthquake struck, but just slightly rattled by it.
Some of the charities that benefited from Ryan Shekler's event are: Wings for Life, a charity that funds scientific research into spinal cord injuries, Boarding for Breast Cancer, a non-profit youth focused organization that works to create awareness about the disease, and Ryan's own foundation that focuses on Children's Cancer research.
OK, there are some golf purists out there who would undoubtedly find this type of event to be low brow and disrespectful of the game, but as I see it in today's celeb obsessed world these individuals have an amazing ability to raise funds...and awareness...for laudable and often overlooked causes. And what better way to do it than with golf.
Oh, I almost forgot; Kendra's outfit...what do you think? The shoes look too much like running shoes to me. I like a golf shoe that's a little more polished. I absolutely love the skirt, but... call me old-fashioned... I still don't approve of tank tops for golf. The top should be a contoured, sleeveless polo, IMHO. And the visor; normally I hate the look, but Kendra's an exception. I think it looks awesome on her. All in all I'd give Kendra an 8 out of 10. Not bad for the Girl Next Door.

ReplyDeletewill there be reports from the jenna jameson charity tournament to support breast implant surgery, too ?
you're old fashioned about tank tops - but not old fashioned on an "I see London, I see France" mini skirt ?
ReplyDeleteYep! :o)
ReplyDeleteI can handle the tank top, but the shoes I agree with. I'm sure there were a lot of options for that pink outfit.
ReplyDeletePatricia, if you like to blog in a bikini then I guess Kendra can wear jogging shoes, a tank top, and a teeny, weeny, mini skirt, right? Haha. She looks adorable by the way.

Such a fun story! I agree though the golf purists are probably not going to like it ...that's their problem. LOL. As far as Kendra's outfit ...if I could pull it off like she does, you can be sure that's what I'd be wearing. Maybe in my next life :)
ReplyDeleteYou speak of the golf purists, but what about those of us decent men, with family values, who have concerns against the objectification of women? We certainly do not approve of such things either.
ReplyDeleteOh well GG....you can't please everyone. I for one enjoyed the blog and expression of opinion regardless of whether in entire agreement or not!
ReplyDeletegolf - I'm a big Captain Kangaroo fan, too. And I never said I didn't like GG and her blog - just not a big fan of making TV stars out of Playboy chicks. Like Anon said below - not all men are big on Playboy and that kind of "entertainment" and objectifying women who make a living taking their clothes off or sleeping with Heff.
ReplyDeleteAs hot as she is, I wonder if Patricial "allows" hubby to have a subscription to Playboy in the house. (on the other hand - if you have her - who needs a magazine ?) :-) Women run around complaining that men only look at their boobs - promoting this seems a bit hypocritical.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteActually Court, I'm the one with the subscription to Playboy...but of course I only get it for the articles. LOL. No, I'd have no problem at all with Nick reading Playboy.
Regarding the objectification of women, personally, I don't like it when guys express concern about the objectification of women. I know they mean well, but I don't think it's a guy's place to worry about women being objectified. Let us women worry (or not worry) about our objectification. OK? I don't think Natalie Gulbis or Anna Rawson or many of LPGA stars have a problem with objectification, BTW.
I think it would be far more useful for guys to worry about the economic exploitation of women. The fact that women generally make .75 to the dollar that men make for the same exact job...and that the disparity is growing. You don't hear guys talking about that too much.
But there's no denying that women bear much responsibility for their own disempowerment because they're often all to happy to take the victim roll. That's got to change or the status quo will just be maintained.
Finally, as far as the breasts are concerned the fact that breasts are so sexualized in America is a big part of why American men are often so obsessed with them. In France, for example, women of all ages and ...shapes... sunbathe topless, and are featured topless in ads and the arts. A boy grows up seeing all kinds of breasts; old women's breasts, young women's breasts voluptuous and diminutive alike...women nurse babies in public with no shame or scorn. And guess what? The French guys aren't nearly so obsessed with breasts as the American guys are. I'm not saying they don't like them. They definitely do (objectively speaking here). But they're simply not obsessed. Many American guys are, because they grow up seeing only the "beautiful, often forbidden" breasts of Hollywood actresses or porn stars, the vast majority of which are surgically enhanced.
I have never complained about men looking at my breasts because I understand where it's coming from,
but yes, some women do complain and I agree it's hypocritical and naive and victim-like especially if she's flaunting them.
Sorry, this comment turned into its own blog post. One of these days I'm going to start a second blog about social issues...I let you know when it happens :o)
and you wonder why we men walk around with confused looks on our faces after we listen to you talk ? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing confusing in what Patricia says, in fact, it's spot-on. As guys, I think we have a problem seeing girls making all this money and getting all this attention just for walking in a room, but it's our fault because we're the ones lavishing the money and attention on women - just because they're hot.
ReplyDeleteSo we start talking about how they're "objectified". It sounds like it's from concern but it's actually from resentment. When it comes to women making less than men for the same work, it's true that most men are not particularly bothered by it, which is understandable because we have the advantage here.
Unfortunately when it comes to men and women it really is like mars and venus.
I love Kendra and the Girls Next Door. Why not rock that outfit when you have a body like that. It was a celebrity golf tournament...not your average round of golf on a Sunday afternoon. She has an amazing body and I am all for her flaunting it.
ReplyDeleteAnd...I am a woman who has a husband and her own subscription to Playboy! And...I agree with Patricia. Let women worry about themselves.
I know what I am getting myself into when I wear low cut shirts. Men are going to look at my breasts...I understand that. And I am okay with it. All I can say is "Look don't touch!"
Hi Patricia. I was a regular reader a long time ago, but have lapsed. Did you ever post your swimsuit pics? Cheers. John
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit and think that it's super cute. This encourages me to learn how to play better and of course to build my golf wardrobe as well!
ReplyDeleteWell then, she's not the girl next door with that description.
ReplyDeletei love the outfit & i believe it would be accepted at my golf providing it was worn with underpants
ReplyDeleteJust what I need on the golf course, a "plastic fantastic." No thanks.
ReplyDeleteahem...the outfit is cute for a Playboy Bunny...who is known for being a "Playboy Bunny". I would imagine going to the nearest grocery store, she'd slap on a pair of micro mini shorts and high heels, if she even does such mundane tasks.
ReplyDeleteNo, Patricia, this outfit is not even close to being golf appropriate, and I'm a huge fan of golf style and class. I'm a girl who cares a lot about my fitness and look, but this simply is trashy and would be forbidden on any decent golf course.
The boob job is part of the package for most bunnies. and who really cares if the guys are oogling over her chest..it's the skirt that is ridiculous. There seems to be such a huge chasm between the cute Natalie Gulbis sporty, perky breast, short skirt look and the unattractive frumpy baggy shorts and stomach showing attire of a lot of the LPGA. Tank tops are fine at the beach, but not on a golf course.
I like the visor. BB caps tend to flatten my hair afterwards, so I prefer the sporty visor over the cap, but that's my opinion.
I am still waiting to hear about the most important part of this whole event--how did the girl play?
ReplyDeleteMaking hero gold
ReplyDeleteis the old question : Honestly there is no fast way to make lots of hero online gold. Sadly enough a lot of the people that all of a sudden come to with millions of hero online moneyalmost overnight probably duped . Although there are a lot of ways to make lots of hero money here I will tell you all of the ways that I know and what I do to buy hero gold.
Hey Patricia, love your website! The post about Kendra is especially refreshing to know that anyone can enjoy a round of golf. She is doing what so many amateurs are lacking or so it seems " having fun" on the course right? Anyway keep up the great work and good luck on your upcoming events! Always Play Well Patricia! Cheers!
