One giant leap day for Bunnykind

It was on a leap day 50 years ago, Feb. 29, 1960, that Playboy opened its first Playboy Club to the public, in the magazine's home city of Chicago. According to a recent press release commemorating the event, "Each club featured cocktail Bunnies, a camera Bunny, a checkroom Bunny, a cabaret Bunny, a gift shop Bunny, a bumper pool Bunny, a customer service Bunny, and floor Bunnies."
