This week on Girls Next Door Bridget's lil sis Anastasia comes to the mansion to celebrate her 21st bday. You KNOW we're in for a good ep when Ana is in town. Nothing is quite so entertaining as watching a simple country girl get skanked out by semi-prostitutes. Yay family bonding.
What did I do to deserve this?
We start off with my fav pet of the show -- Winnie! I think I like the Winnster best because he always gives the girls looks I would give them. I also love that you can't see his legs when he walks. It's like he's floating.
"Look at all the clothes you never wear!" laments Bridg as she pulls random doggy outfits out of a cabinet in her room. We learn that it's Winnie's bday (it's not clear if this is ANYWHERE near Anastasia's bday) so apparently Bridget decides to torture the poor pup by dressing him up.
She of course takes out Winnie's old Easter bunny costume -- you know, the one he went "dogotonic" in? The producers are kind enough to play back the clip of that great moment. Poor Winn probably thought he was drowning in fluffy ears. But don't worry, Bridget has more birthday torture in store.
B has bought a battery-opperated toy Winnie, aka a vibrating plastic cube covered in black fur. Now, what kind of dog wouldn't like that monstrosity? Well, this one. Poor Winnster is even more traumatized than in the bunny incident of 2007. He barks and keeps backing away from the toy as Bridg propels it forward. Happy birthday Winnie!
Pot calling the kettle black.
Continuing on with the animal theme, Holly takes her bunny to the vet. (Did anyone else know she had a rabbit?) Hollz wants the bunny to be able to live in the backyard (aka zoo) with all of the other bunnies, but first she have to get David LaChapelle (yes, he is named after the "Dirrty" music video director) neutered.
Once in the vet exam room, Holly lays a pink blanket down on the exam table. You know, because bunnies associate the cold steel table with needles and pain. (Don't they mate with anything in sight???) Holly mentions that this breed of rabbit can weigh up to 28 pounds, and holy crap does that freak me out. That's as much as a toddler! Who would want a rodent that large? Yick!!
When the doctor comes in he first checks to make sure David LaChapelle is a boy and, surprise, he's not. Somewhere the fashion designer/music vid director is hanging his head in shame. How does the doc know David is a Davina? He has no balls. I'd say that's pretty definitive.
H: Ohmigod I can't believe David is a girl! It's still going to be named David. Way to take a stand against traditional naming standards, Hollz.
What did I do to deserve this?
Back at the mansion, Bridget is instructing Brian the Butler about what junk foods to pack for Anastasia's 21st birthday road trip. Wait, what? When I turned 21 I high-tailed it down to the first Native American-run Connecticut casino I could find. Who wants to ride around in a pimped-out Winnebago? Well I guess a road trip with a bunch of playmates would be really fun right? WRONG.
The girls are chilling around the dining room table when Ana arrives. We learn that the three girls, some playmates, and one of Anastasia's friends will all hit the road on a wild road trip to... north Cali? Don't get me wrong, I'm gagging to go to San Fran, but I don't think the rest of NoCal is party central. Prove me wrong, girlies. Kendra promises to deliver the birthday goods. "If anyone knows how to celebrate a 21st birthday, it's me," she boasts. You show 'em how it's done, Kenny.
The girls go to say bye to Hef, who is looking at proofs from under some sort of Bear-fur blanket (how can he work like that??), and they finally pile on to the bus. And, OK, it's more of a rock star tour bus than your average camper trailer. The girls settle in, start chowing down, and start drinking. Wooo party! So where does the bus stop first? Some random train station. Whaaaa?

i keep hoping that there will be an episode on that will require more than a three page recap. if only you had been able to recap the older episodes those were way more fun and had the girls saying and doing so many inane things. they haven't really shown the girls dressing up all the time like they love to do because they are living fantasy land. but i think you do a great job with the material that you are given.
kendra constantly saying pea soup and the oh my god this town is cuute was about as good as it got. i just think the girls aren't giving it their all anymore, they are totally phoning it in. probably because when this was filmed was when k-dog and hollz had already moved on. i think that for the most part kendra and hollz didn't want to do too much filming in the mansion since they were ready to move out and that is why most of the shows have the girls any place, but the mansion.

I get a laugh out of watching this show...even a bigger laugh from reading the recap. Keep up the good work.
BTW..the gum wall is in San Luis Obispo...a great little college down...Sovang is about 90 miles south and is a major tourist trap done to resembl a Danish town...the only time I stopped there was when the fog was so bad that driving was dangerous and we decided to wait it out...unfortunately it was Solvang...anyone with one ounce of brain...would avoid Anderson's Pea Soup...I just wonder if these locations pay to be featured...and if so this shows you they are really getting to the bottom of the barrel....
And the Girls missed the one of the better know spots at the Madonna inn...the men's restroom....it's just a gaudy place that one avoids...again...I think these places are paying for the visit...and clearly the show is at it's bottom...
Keep up the great recap..

I wonder if these places pay to be feature..if so the show is at the bottom of the barrel. Sovang is a major tourist trap. Anderson's is to be avoided whenever possible. The Madonna Inn is so gaudy no one admits to visiting it. Apparently they missed their famous men's bathroom. Lucky for us.
BTW..the gum alley is in San Luis Obispo, a quait college town on the Central Coast of CA..
Keep up the good recap...it's the best part of watching the show.

Reckless -- Good call that Hollz and Kennster probably don't want to film in the mansion because they're already gone! That must also be why everyone has gathered in Bridget's room for the last few eps.
Ivken -- So funny that you actually know about all these ridic places! Will you flatten a penny on those train tracks for me?
And did you guys hear that Bridg officially moved out this weekend?? So sad that they are ALL gone. Will you watch her travel show?

what bridget is going to have own travel show. I will watch it just to see where she goes and for the trainwreck value. would you recap it? I would for sure watch if that was the case. I wouldn't watch another GND without the OG girls. seems kind of pointless and I am still trying to figure out why I am watching this to begin with.

Yeah, she's going to be hosting a show called "Bridget's Sexiest Beaches" for the Travel Channel.
Not sure if it's plausible to recap a travel show. Guess it depends on how much fodder for comedy it has. Love the loyalty though, Reckless!
