...they so proudly represented in the magazine, dressing Miss June as a bride in a white swimsuit and cutaway train and giving Miss April a transparent mini-raincoat. The Bunnies were instructed to be themselves on the catwalk, leading some to pinch each other, while others flashed the audience. Ava Fabian, a former Miss August, blew kisses and snapped her faux mink stole like a whip. The voluptuous brunet noted a key difference between prepping for a fashion show and a centerfold shoot: "Backstage, you were stripped from head to toe," she says. "But they had you dressed again...
