This quote from Kendra is describing how Hugh Hefner gave her direction in life, when she was unsure of herself. She often uses the quote, "Hef saved my life" in episodes throughout the show, and this affirms the patriarchal hegemony active in society today, that she needed a male influence to give her direction in life. |
This quote was in response to an episode in which the three girls were critically interviewed on the talk show "The View" in New York City. Kendra responds saying, "We're open and free spirited...we love to live our lives." She is indicating that she and the girls are the ones in the place of power, that they have accepted their places in society and by objectifying themselves are living the life they desire. |
