Rogue Bunnies Mayhem

Join Us On The Red Carpet At The Rogue Bunnies "End Of Summer Fling"

What a great night for Rogue Bunnies and for Rogue Bunnies Mayhem last month, at Skybar Los Angeles. Since Victoria was busy being one of the Event Organizers, Brian went solo and interviewed some of the guests as they came down the Red Carpet.  
Before we get to the Red Carpet, Brian and Victoria chat about how the party came together. Special thanks to Dr. Lois Lee, founder of Children Of The Night, and Max Soto, from Max Events, both we'll hear from shortly on the Red Carpet.
As the party began, Brian kept seeing familiar faces from his 20+ years working at The Mansion. First up, we get two of Mr. Hefner's long time friends, Joel Berliner and Alison Reynolds, the latter worked for Hef for over 40 years. The "family" kept coming as Brian chatted with butlers Deandre Massey and Lauren Byrnes before turning to Dr. Lee and Max Soto. (Big thanks to them again) Next come the Playmates! Starting with Kerri Kendall (September '90) and continuing on with the trio of Carrie Stevens (June '97), Echo Johnson (January '93) and the PMOY of 1992, Miss Corrina Harney. Sandwiched in between them is Producer/Writer/Director Minh Collins, who talks about a new project he's working on. Last, but definitely not least, is the wonderful Olga Loera, our favorite Mexican-American glamour model.
They all came out to support Victoria because that's what family does and the Playboy family is a strong one, as you'll hear with each interview. We'll have more interviews, in the next episode, as the reunion kept rolling on...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Talking Relationships With Love Islands Harrison Luna

Harrison Luna is back for more. This time the gang has a discussion about dating. What was it like for Harrison dating in Australia then going on a reality show focused on “coupling up".
If you missed our last episode, you might be wondering who’s Harrison Luna. Well, we start this episode by asking that same question. Find out where he grew up (the Australian accent might be a clue) and what life was like for a young Harrison. He also talks about the differences between the two countries. After we get all of the background out of the way, we start the discussion about dating. Harrison left Australia for a certain reason, although there may be more similarities with America than he thought. He spent some time in Miami and talks about the “dating” trend in that city. Then the conversation shifts to the West Coast, an area that Brian, Jenn and Victoria know fairly well. Jenn brings up the “one-uppers” mentality that is so prevalent in the Southland. Brian doesn’t believe that people date anymore which leads to a conversation about transactional dating. 
There are still a lot of great nuggets from Victoria, who has become such a big fan of Harrison. You don’t want to miss those. Great things lie ahead for Harrison. He’s a talented individual with a great head on his shoulders and a grounded view. We can’t wait to watch his star rise...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Remember The Name Harrison Luna

If you’ve seen Peacock’s reality TV show Love Island, there’s a good chance you already know who Harrison Luna is. If you’re curious, he was a “bombshell” on Love Island USA Season 5 then brought back in Season 6. Victoria Fuller knows, as you’ll find out when she asks what happens when Harrison sees his reflection. 
With a lot of questions from “Super Fan” Victoria, Harrison talks all about the inner workings of Love Island. Trust us, Victoria will make you want to watch. You’ll find out how the challenges work, what the contestants do with their down time, if they cook for themselves or make their own beds and what the showers are like. Yup! We ask the tough hard-hitting questions. 
It’s not all Victoria, Jenn asks Harrison what types of roles he would prefer when he becomes a huge A-list celebrity and talks about his comparison to Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) from FX’s Sons Of Anarchy. Has Harrison perfected his “American” accent yet? He’s got some California lingo down. We have no doubt that Harrison will be a huge Hollywood star and we can say, “we knew him when”. Make sure to come back for the next episode when Brian and Harrison discuss the differences between dating in Australia and the U.S., especially in a big city like LA...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Dr. Lois Lee & Audra Lynn Part 2: Awareness Is The Key

We continue our conversation with Children Of The Night Founder, Dr. Lois Lee, and human trafficking advocate, Audra Lynn. More stories about the severity of this issue and how we can all help. The Children Of The Night hotline is 24/7. That number is 1-800-551-1300 extension zero (0).
Dr. Lee opens up Part II explaining how gangs have taken over the pimping business and how that’s affected the prostitution industry. Find out what the numbers “304” represent. There’s also an interesting discussion about Backpage and their founders. Victoria asks Dr. Lee about legalizing prostitution in this company, which leads to an examination of what too much government control can do. Audra has a fascinating point about “trauma bonding” and how it’s so hard for some women to escape that life. 
As previously mentioned, this issue was very important to Mr. Hefner as it is to us. Just being aware is a good first step. It’s a major issue that needs to be addressed. To learn more about Dr. Lee’s amazing organization, get more information or just help Children Of The Night, please visit www.childrenofthenight.org/ Thank you for listening to the past two episodes...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Dr. Lois Lee & The History Behind Children Of The Night

We're back with a brand new episode and it's focused on a cause that is very important to us and one that was equally important to Mr. Hefner.
Our special guest is Dr. Lois Lee, founder of Children Of The Night, a non-profit organization that's specific purpose is "to provide intervention in the lives of children who are sexually exploited and vulnerable to or involved in prostitution and pornography." For more information about Children Of The Night, please visit www.childrenofthenight.org/. Joining Dr. Lee is Audra Lynn, Miss October '03, who's also a human trafficking advocate. 
Dr. Lee recounts the story of how Children Of The Night got started, way back in the late 70's. From that point, Dr. Lee has been helping people in need, over 12,000 of them. Hear all about the Los Angeles based serial murders that got her involved with protecting women and how she went head-to-head with the LAPD.
Dr. Lee remembers her conversation with Hugh Hefner and how passionate he became in helping her efforts. Victoria has continued that tradition. Children Of The Night and Rogue Bunnies collaborated on the "End Of Summer Fling" that was September 21st at the Skybar in Los Angeles...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

We are taking a few weeks off to enjoy the rest of Summer. We'll have new shows back on September 9th. In the meantime, each host is picking an episode they'd like you to check-out or relisten to.
Last year, a few of us went to the Metallica concert in Los Angeles. After the concert, we decided to have a party in the studio. Brian, Jenn and Victoria were joined by Angel Boris, Miss July '97, and Playmate of the Month for November '94, Miss Donna Perry. Brian recounts the story of when Metallica played at The Mansion and passing up a "dream job" for the dream job he already had.
Thank you for all of your support over the last year and a half. You're the reason we do these shows. Just because we're on vacation, doesn't mean the mayhem stops...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Stephen Wayda Remembers His Photo Session With Kim Kardashian

The legendary photographer is back for part two and recounts his Playboy shoot with socialite Kim Kardashian and a few other A-list celebrities. 
Before we dive into the iconic 2007 Playboy issue, featuring Kim Kardashian, Victoria asks Stephen about some of his favorite Centerfolds that he shot. Off the top of his head, he remembers being particularly proud of Rainy Day Jordan, Miss December '11, and 2012 Playmate of the Year, Jaclyn Swedberg. 
As we mentioned in the last episode, Stephen was the most published photographer in the history of Playboy but one of the more iconic covers and issues, from the last 20 years, was the December '07 issue featuring Kim Kardashian. Keeping Up With The Kardashians had just completed its first season and Kim's star was definitely on the rise. Stephen was only supposed to shoot the cover so he was not fully prepared for doing more but Mr. Hefner asked if he could shoot it all. Stephen had to convince Kris Jenner to continue taking pictures and earned her trust, one frame at a time. That's the deal he made and he kept delivering. It turned out pretty good in the end, for all parties involved. 
It's not all about Kim K though. There’s a great Pam Anderson story about a trip to St. Tropez. Early morning shoots are not ideal when on a tropical island. You have to listen to hear the reason why. Stephen also has some sage advice for young photographers and there's a good discussion about film versus digital photography.
