Bunny girls were waitresses employed at Playboy clubs which were open between 1960 and 1988. Training included posture, how to carry a tray, how to order drinks and the Bunny Dip — how to bend over tables without breasts falling out of the costume. Bunny Mother carried out inspections before shifts, ensuring high standards of fluffy tails, perfect nails and allround presentation of costume — corset, cuffs, ears. It was hard work and pay was about £1 an hour. Under no circumstances were ‘guests’ allowed to touch Bunnies’ tails. The penalty for this was instant expulsion.

orgasm, v Richard Burton and Liz Taylor Hollywood’s golden couple, who
married and divorced each other twice, starred as the ancient lovers Mark
Antony and Cleopatra in the 1963 film.* Sean Connery and Ian Fleming no,
not a couple, but the former Edinburgh milkman gave the novelist’s creation,
the jet-setting spy James Bond, a larger-than-life sex appeal on the big screen.
