The year was 1985 when Hugh Hephner, founder of mogul magazine Playboy opened Playboy's Empire Club in Manhattan, which would be the latest try by the magazine to revive itself. Something was needed to attract a new chain of audience: Women. So Playboy's answer to that were male bunnies.
Hephner: "I thought, 'This is the end of it and indeed, within a year or so, it was." Twenty years and a whole of feminism later, did all it can to close the Playboy club in 1988. However, starting October 6 2006, a new Playboy club will be opened and it is set to be the hot spot.
The first clubs where all the bunnies served drinks and sexual revolution was screaming in the air were found all over the world. New York, London and Tokyo are just a number of the 22 clubs that were opened in the 60's and 70's. Around 30,000 bunnies were hopping all over the world. With feminism rising, the clubs found themselves in trouble and were forced to close leaving the last club in Manila opened until it too found its destiny and was shut down in 1991.
Now Hephner is back but with a different idea. This time around he focuses on the metro sexual man. His new club is designed to bring in a new generation of the bachelor lifestyle just like Playboy knows how to do.
