What Holly Madison looked like pre-Playboy mansion
- Category:
- If Celebrities Ruled the Earth
I have a mild fascination with the Girls of the Playboy Mansion, if by mild you mean intense. I loved the show, even though my intelligence slowly dripped from one ear as I watched Kendra flash her boobs again, or Holly shop for the perfect nipple-tassled latex bikini Halloween party outfit, or Bridget makeover her clever, brunette sister to look like Just Another LA Blonde. Holly was always my favourite. So alpha. So passive aggressive. So pretty. But I always wondered what she looked like before being Playboy-ised. And now I know.
As a refresher, or for those who may not know which blonde is which, this is Holly.

She was Hef’s #1 Girl, and as such, got to sleep with him every night. (Score!) Sadly, after hoping for five years for Hef to realise he wanted to wed and breed with her, the sad truth was revealed to Holly: Hugh Hefner is not actually 39. Holly has since bid Hef and his rarely washed dressing gown and hooked up with Criss Angel.
For those who don’t watch the Foxtel show Mindfreak, Criss is one of the new-breed tough guy magicians. He is very particular about where his colourist places his highlights, wears eyeliner and nail polish and has ‘Angel’ as his last name. (Whoa! Careful Criss! You don’t want to explode with masculinity now.)
These pics are courtesy of Hollywood Tuna, (that’s just in case you somehow missed that discrete watermark) which be warned, is definitely NSFW.


The first thing that comes to mind after seeing these pictures is: Wow. That’s some good surgeon you got there Holly. The second is, excellent: More proof that coloured contact lenses are wrongo.
At a rough guess, I would imagine Holly has had facial fillers (to make her cheeks and under eye area fuller and younger), definite lip augmentation, a lovely spot of rhinoplasty and maybe even a brow lift, too. But, you know she may have just, uh, changed foundations.
Was Holly your favourite?
Can you believe Criss Angel wears nail polish?
What are you having for lunch?

I have to say I always had an inexplicable girl crush on Bridget… go figure?
Yes, I can believe Criss Angel wears nail polish, whether or not I care is another matter.
Thai food!

Oh and I’m not really that shocked at her before pics. in that isabella st. james book, she talks a lot about how holly sculpted/moulded herself into hef’s perfect partner, taking various elements from past partners, like boobs here, a nose there. it’s fascinating if you believe it.

1. Holly = def fav. Loved how delusional and crazy she was (more so than the others). Torn between thinking she was a gold-digger, or genuinely pathetically, foolishly in love with Hef. 2. Definitely believable.. have you seen the man? (I use the word ‘man’ loosely) 3. greek salad. BRING it!
