It was announced last night that the last Playboy Bunny Girl, who was part of a specialist breeding program in the 60s, has passed away peacefully in her enclosure at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, California.
Candy Fabulous, 61 – real name, Beryl Arkwright and originally from Sheffield – died after a long battle with vascular dementia and also osteoarthritis – believed to have been brought on by many years of performing the famous ‘Bunny Dip’ while serving drinks to wealthy clients in various Playboy Clubs across The United States.
Playboy kingpin, Hugh Hefner, 103, appeared visibly moved as he told pressmen last night: “It’s a very sad day for me and for the Playboy organisation as a whole
“Candy was a real one-off who devoted her entire adult life to dressing up in a ridiculous outfit in order to serve refreshments to wealthy drunks, and also -whenever the occasion demanded – to sleeping with a few of them for money. She’ll be missed by all who knew her”
Although Ms Fabulous was the last of the Playboy Bunnies bred in captivity, there are still said to be isolated pockets of small breeding groups in the foothills of The Himalayas, and also in and around Stepney Green tube station in East London, where they can sometimes be seen during the evening rush hour offering overpriced cocktails and hand jobs to well-heeled businessmen on the District Line.

It is sad to see the passing of a species…. I blame it all on climate change.

It’s nothing short of a tragedy mate. It’s like Playboy magazine. How I miss all those interesting articles on motorbikes! 😦

I’ve actually been to the Stepney Green station (no, really), but I don’t recall encountering this particular wildlife…

I knew you were a well-travelled guy who has seen many of the world’s most awe-inspiring sights, Brian, but have you really gazed on the magnificent edifice that is Stepney Green tube station?
If you’d looked closer you might have spotted me in the public bar of The Queen’s Head on the corner 😀

I must have been in your presence at some point, as I seem to recall a sense of foreboding and anarchy as we purchased beer and nibbly bits at a market a few buildings north of the station. (I think it was north. Did I mention beer?)
