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!

ambercampisiWhat do two Playboy playmates, a stripper pole, pregnant woman, and a Dallas restaurateur’s daughter have in common? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Expectant mom, Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend, and newly engaged Kendra Wilkinson has her own reality show on the E! Network. Her gal pal on the show is none other than Amber Campisi, according to Alan Peppard at the Dallas Morning News. Campisi is the daughter or Dallas restaurateur Corky Campisi. The buxom mocha latte former Playmate was  Miss February 2005. The two are friends and, according to Peppard, when Kendra’s show started filming she invited Campisi to L.A. If you want more info, and I know you’re just dying to read more, check out Campisi’s bunny splashed MySpace page.

playboy-1-500Elisabeth Hasselbeck went off this morning on The View after learning that a Playboy article titled “So Right it’s Wrong” listed the top 10 most fuc*able conservative women. Hasselback was one of them. Author Guy Cimbalo wrote, “At her best, The View’s neocon is a bilious simpleton who could turn Gandhi into a bloodthirsty maniac. If waking up next to this woman is anythink like watching her on morning TV, it’s best no to sleep over.”  Her “Hate fu*k rating: You’re better served sucking off Regis Philbin.” Also included: Michelle Malkin, Megyn Kelly, Mary Katharine Ham,  Amanda Carpenter, Dana Perino, Laura Ingraham, Pamela Geller, Michele Bachmann and Peggy Noonan. The article has since been pulled from Playboy.com and so has a Politico.com blog that somewhat endorsed it. Conservative bloggers and the National Organization of Women are calling the piece an endorsement of rape. Is it? Had they titled it “The Top 10 Conservative Women We’d Like to Do” would the response be different? What’s the outrage about?
