The plastic surgery isn’t over at the Playboy Mansion just yet… renovations are ongoing, and a new video shows that, although things are improving, the work is still far from complete.
Photographers captured the iconic party mansion’s massive renovation on video, starting outside, where scaffolding still covers the stone facade, and moving room by room, revealing rolls of plastic sheeting and covered openings where windows need replacing.
