A group of former Playboy Bunnies will gather tonight for a bunny-reunion of sorts and they’re looking for ladies who donned the suit, the ears and puffy tail at the Dallas Playboy Club from 1977-1981. Former bunny Karen Criswell Drennan has rounded up 60 former bunnies and she has set up a Facebook page, Former Playboy Bunnies of Dallas. Drennan recently came back from the National Playboy Bunny Reunion in Chicago and AARP magazine covered the event. Most bunnies–they are not synonymous with Playmates who pose nude; bunnies were cocktail waitresses at Playboy clubs across the country–are an average age of 60 said Drennan.  Earlier this week, a small group of bunnies sat down with Dallas Morning News columnist Steve Blow who just about busted out of his pants at Sambuca he writes in today’s column, “Thirty years ago it would have been a sexual fantasy come true – lunch with a clutch of Playboy Bunnies, I mean.” Back in the day, “We really were like celebrities,” Carolann Roberts, 53, who still has her vintage purple bunny costume, told Blow. ”Like Superman or Wonder Woman, you went into the dressing room as a normal person, but when you put on that costume and stepped out, you were transformed,” wrote freelance writer and former bunny Deborah Voorhees in a column last year. Though the clubs have long since closed (the Dallas club was on the second floor of an office building at Yale Boulevard and North Central Expressway (now SMU))  and the bunny dip ain’t as easy as it used to be, Drennan wants to get former Dallas bunnies together for a hutch reunion. Former bunnies and floor staff who worked the Dallas club are invited to tonight’s reunion. No posers, please. You may have to do a dip to get in. And bring your costumes!
