Playboy Bunny Costumes are Back!

Well, it’s about time the Playboy Bunny costume made a decent comeback. Always the traditional go-to choice in sexy costumes since they were first revealed in Hugh Heffner’s infamous Playboy Clubs in the 1950s, the Bunny costume has been eclipsed in the last few decades by the dozens and dozens of in-your-face sexy, nearly lewd, Halloween costumes.

But, now with the premiere season of ‘Playboy Club,’ a new 60s era drama on NBC filled with booze and babes. Costume designer for the show, Isis Mussenden, says the replicated costumes were kept as famous bunny outfits were kept as true to the originals as possible. For example, the ears are detachable headpieces that can be pinned into big, bouffant hairdos of the Sixties decade. Also, the color of the shows bunny costumes are based on those in the original club, usually light pinks and blues and other innocent colors. The cuffs and bunny insignia cufflinks were a big part of the costume, rule makers for the Playboy clubs made sure that the bunnies on the cufflinks faced each other. Another tip from the bunny costume designer, you can make your legs look flawless by wearing two pairs of hose, the first a pair of compression nude colored hose and on top a pair of sheer black or fishnet hose – this will help you squeeze into a skin tight playboy bunny costume.

Unfortunately, NBC just announced the show is a proverbial ‘bust,’ cancelling the risqué and somewhat low-rated show after just three episodes. But that doesn’t mean it has to be the end of your bunny ‘tale!’
