And then there was the Playboy plane fiasco. The plane had been booked to fly to Auckland for down under New Zealanders to marvel at in all its decadent glory - for a fee of course. But the airport was designated a security area so the plane could not be parked and publicly exhibited. They had tried to compromise with a plan to tow it clear of the airport but this had meant huge towing fees and a special engineer s expenses. The Playboy bunnies that came with the plane then ran into union problems.
Local unions wouldn t allow the girls to work here.
We finally finished up with no plane and one bunny who had a Kiwi passport,and a bunch of angry clients. But that s showbiz. A flashy smile accompanied the last statement with outflung arms and another large sigh. Then the touch. Had to come.
