New girl next door [Edit]

A new threat has emerged for the girls of the Playboy mansion in the form of Ukrainian brunette model Dasha Astafieva. Astafieva has an impressive career in her home country, becoming the winner of top reality-show, ‘Stars Factory’. After that she began a musical career but earned even more success as a model.

An insider revealed: “Dasha’s natural endowments and beauty stunned Hef. Dasha has upset the pecking order by pushing her way into Hef’s heart. The competition for his attention is really intense among the girls because of her.”

Hef, 81, became a fan after spotting Astafieva - who posed for the Ukrainian version of his raunchy mag last December - at the Playboy mansion as part of a competition to chose the cover model for Playboy’s New Year’s issue. Astafieva received a personal invitation from Hefner and now for more than a week she lives in the Bunny House at his ranch, the residence where Playboy models live.

82-year-old Hefner spends most of his time with his new muse, completely forgetting about his three other girlfriends, all of whom are blondes. He even accompanies her to photo-shoots, which he never did before. They have even been seen holding hands.

Some say the old Lovelace fell for the Ukrainian because she reminds him of his first love, porn-star from the 1950s – Betty Page.

Hef’s girls are worried that Dasha could start taking away some of the airtime on the show and might end up becoming a regular.
