Where are Playboy Bunnies now?

Photographer Robyn Twomey has tried to capture the life of Playboy Bunnies through a new profile of former Playboy Bunnies. Unlike "Playmates," "Bunnies" are the women who "worked at the members only venue known as the Playboy Club, which ran from 1960 to 1991."

In the profile, Twomey gives a "provocative tour of the annual Playboy Bunny Reunion, where ex-Bunnies show off tight t-shirts, bunny ears and the occasional silicone implant in a complex display of strength and fragility."

One of the most interesting parts of this story is the review of Twomey's images as "overall surprisingly empowering, featuring women 'of a certain age' who are confident with themselves and their bodies." Are these images empowering is the Playboy Bunny an empowering image for females?
