As I promised, I will tell one of the stories told to me at Domainfest. This one is 100% true and told to me by one of the playmates I met this week.
This story was told to me by Playmate A as I will call her. About 2 years earlier, Playmate A was at Kendra’s house hanging out. Kendra for those of you that do not know is also a former Playmate, former Hef girlfriend and a reality star. Kendra had scheduled a lunch with a domainer/businessman at a Beverly Hills Hotel. Playmate A wanted to blow it off but Kendra said she couldn’t do that on such late noticed. Playmate A came along with Kendra to lunch. At the meeting, domain names came up. Playmate A said she would love to get her name (.com) but someone has it and it is impossible to find them. After the lunch the domainer said he will find out who owns Playmate A’s domain name and do everything in his power to try and get it back for her.
Nearly 2 hours later playmate A receives a call from the domainer. Remarkably, he tells her that the name is now in her possession. She is shocked and asks how he did it. Well, said the domainer, it turns out that he owned it. It seems that the domainer had recently a purchased package of domains and her name (.com) was part of the package.
Sometime fact is stranger than fiction.
Larry,
Great story, but 2 playmates and a domainer, I was expecting something more exciting to take place:)
Great seeing you at DomainFest and keep in touch.
Thanks, Jim
Thanks Jim. It was great catching up with you. I do have another story along those lines but I have to keep it “PG-13”.
all the best

Great story but like Jim I was hoping for something juicier!!
Oh well 🙂 It was great meeting you at DOMAINfest – let me know if you are ever in Southern California!
Morgan,
It was nice meeting you also. I did see some funky things in the Grotto. I’ll think about how to post it.

Yes – there was definitely plenty going-on in the Grotto. I was there for about 30 mins with Bruce. Although isn’t it true that what happens in the Grotto stays in the Grotto?
I like Elliot’s story better. LOL When is someone going to come out and say you aren’t allowed to republish photos from the party?
He had just purchased a group of domains and her name happened to be one of them? LOL, right!
Sounds like cybersquatting to me.
@domainreport – you are correct
Jim,
I am just passing on her story. i did not get a chance to speak with the domainer regarding this.

Jim,
So what was the money shot? Playmate A had to be grateful, yes? Let’s pick up the story from there!
“My hubby attended the Vegas domain show and then he called me one night, clearly drunk and told me how much he misses me and how my brains out when he’d come back home to Tampa. I instantly got hot and bothered. Then he told me he’d be attending DomainFest and mumbled something about Playboy, and I was like WTF???
She said they have become friends.
What did she give in exchange for the domain? Boy OH Boy, She certainly is good at that…LOL
You guys are dirty old men… and so am I lol.
