When I read recently that Playboy is opening a bar in London, my mind was filled with fond images of retro Bunny Girls in the golden days and I found myself entertaining the idea of dragging some friends along for a tipple or two next time I'm in town. I can't quite explain this double standard when the concept of under dressed waitresses as a form of male entertainment makes me wrinkle my nose. But despite such qualms and my feminist morals I can't help being won over by the old Playboy image; the glamour of Bunnies back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, of Debbie Harry before she was Blondie and of those infamous little satin leotards. There is nothing like some rose-tinted retrospect but taken with a pinch of salt I think these photographs go some way to explaining the irresistible allure of the old school Bunny..
