In the last few years,Chilli and Banana Playboy has been on a mission to rebrand: they've removed the whole "full nudity" thing from their print magazine, introduced a safe-for-work website, and even sold the legendary Playboy mansion (kind of).
Now, instead of moving forward, they've announced they're bringing back a bit of bunny nostalgia from the magazine's heyday: the Playboy Club.

The club will include "a lounge area, a game room and a full-service dining room" and, perhaps most importantly: Playboy Bunnies.

Because if Playboy Bunnies are known for anything, it's their graciousness.
The original New York City Playboy Club opened in 1962, and quickly fell under scrutiny when Gloria Steinem released "A Bunny's Tale" in 1963, an expose of the treatment of the she received while working undercover as a Bunny. Over the years many Bunnies protested the restrictions Playboy put on their lives outside of the Club, in addition to the many rules of employment.

The franchise became international before declining and effectively becoming defunct in 1991 with most locations closing. The original NYC Playboy Club closed in 1986.
Maybe this Playboy Club reboot inspires a nice, scandalous, guilty pleasure reality show instead of an iconic exposé, but only time will tell.
