Perhaps the most famous 'little black book' in the world is now on display at The Chicago History Museum. The address book once belonged to Hugh Hefner, the CEO of Playboy Enterprises, and was obtained by auction house Christie's in 2003.
Hefner's address book is currently featured in the ' Unexpected Chicago' exhibit, and some of his entries are creating buzz about the playboy's dating habits. One entry next to the name "Lynn" reads, "haven't met yet, friends of Joyce's, lively." There's also a "While You Were Away" note tucked in the book which reads that a woman named Sherry called for Hefner at 12:40 am in the morning. In addition, Hefner left other notes next to women's names including the impression they left on him after meeting them, private phone numbers and other code words.
Dates in the book go as far back as 1953, which is when Playboy magazine launched in Chicago. The display coincides with the closing of Playboy's offices in the windy city. The iconic magazine is moving all of its offices to one location in Los Angeles. Other items on display at the museum are vintage bunny suits from 'The Playboy Club' and other playboy memorabilia.
