Happily ever after

I gave my opinion of Hugh Hefner on December 27, 2010, back when he originally announced his engagement to Crystal Harris. That engagement was subsequently broken off.

This morning it was announced in a US Weekly article that Hefner, 86, and Harris, 26, reconciled and got married last night in a private ceremony in Los Angeles.


How touching. US Weekly usually does nothing but puff pieces, but even they couldn't avoid mentioning a few discordant notes.

The article mentions that Harris proudly showed off her engagement ring, but that she had auctioned the first one off for $90,000 at Christie's in October 2011. (If a fiancee breaks off an engagement, isn't she supposed to return the ring?)

The article also mentions that Harris recently opened her own lingerie store, Femme Fatale, in Studio City. (Isn't a femme fatale so named because she has fatal consequences for the men she gets involved with?)

I still admire Hef, though not nearly as much as I envy him.

But the fact that I admire him at all is saying something given that he basically hasn't done anything other than make a fool of himself for the past decade or two.

And yes, that's envy talking.
