Trivia

The costumes in The Playboy Club were designed by Isis Mussenden. She was not able to find any original Playboy Bunny uniforms, so she created her designs based on photos and consultations with Hugh M. Hefner. Each of the five female leads received two suits, each of which cost $3,000 and took about 10 hours to make. Each suit included a built-in bra, French cuffs with Playboy cuff links, satin ears and 3-inch heels. After the costumes were designed, Hefner had claimed they were not cut high enough on the leg, but Mussenden assured him the height was correct based on photos of Hefner with real-life bunnies.

User Reviews

Good plot, but still lacking

Before this show was canceled, I was actually enjoying the plot that was developing. It was turning into a bit of a mob and murder story, which is always fun. Sadly, the show had some major flaws. The characters' personalities were mostly flat, even if their bodies were curvy. The biggest problem about this show is that it is about the Playboy Club and yet it is on regular network television. It's not unreasonable to say that this is a bad idea. People see "Playboy" and they want to see naked women. I do hope the show is rebooted on one of the big cable channels, like HBO, and it is given the treatment it deserves.
