Shortee performed as Playboy Magazine's one & only
official club DJ celebrating their 50th Anniversary in 2004!! She rocked
the tables for 5 hours a night at 50 exclusive hi-profile events across
the nation alongside countless celebrities, athletes, Bunnies and, of
course, The Playboy Playmates!! At their height, more than 40 Playboy
Clubs, hotels and resorts around the world revolutionized nightlife and
provided a sexy, sophisticated playground for pleasure-seeking patrons
to mingle with beautiful women, the social elite and the biggest names
in sports and entertainment. In February 2004, and continuing through
June, Playboy celebrated its 50th anniversary by reviving the Playboy
Clubs in 50 cities across the U.S.A.
Starting
in 1960, the private key clubs introduced the world to cotton-tailed Playboy
Bunny cocktail waitresses. Back in the day, you might have been Bunny
Dipped by Barbara Hutton, Sherilyn Fenn, Deborah Harry or even Gloria
Steinem (working undercover). The clubs featured top-shelf entertainment
by the likes of Barbra Streisand, Bob Newhart, Richard Pryor and Aretha
Franklin. The reviews back then were unanimous: "Disneyland for adults."
-- Newsweek "20th Century Dreamworlds." - Variety Time even
described the Rabbit-headed metal Playboy key as "the closest thing
to a Phi Beta Kappa from Yale."
So,
for their 50th anniversary, Playboy revives the Playboy Club concept in
52 clubs, casinos & resorts across the country, finishing up the tour
with the last event held at the infamous Playboy Mansion!! A limited number
of VIP tickets were sold, & the lucky folks were ushered up the red
carpet, past the velvet rope and welcomed to the exclusive party to mingle
with famous athletes, celebrities, Bunnies and Playmates. Modern projected
images, plasma monitors and the sounds of Playboy's very own scratch diva,
DJ Shortee spinning club, house, hip-hop and electronica, offset the retro
chic. Celebrate Playboy's first 50 years and the next 50 in style.
