THE HOTTEST LADIES COMPETE FOR PLAYBOY CLUB'S CALENDAR MODEL SEARCH!

"The bunny is back," said Playboy Magazine founder Hugh Hefner, who opened the original Playboy Club in Chicago in 1960. During the '60s and '70s, dozens of clubs had cropped up all over the world from New York to London and Manila. Top comedy and musical acts performed at and frequented the clubs, which were open to members who held an exclusive key.

Playboy closed its last club in the United States in Lansing, Mich., in 1988, due to the increasing conservative world atmosphere.

"The truth of the matter for Playboy in general, certainly in terms of the bunnies, there was a period in the 1980s and early '90s when the brand was not hot," said Hefner, 81. "I think we went through kind of a politically correct period in America and elsewhere and they were not the best days for Playboy."

Then over the last half dozen years, Hefner said a huge fascination with retro emerged, from James Bond and The Beatles to the bunnies.
