103: Tales of a Playboy Bunny - How Travelling the World Dressed as a Rabbit Provided Skills for a Career in Customer Services.
This week Dawn and Tracy are joined by the incredible Natalie Deegan. Natalie shares some incredible stories about her time working for Playboy and working up the corporate ladder to becoming head bunny. In this great interview Natalie sheds a new light on the Playboy experience and how it really isn’t what everyone presumes it to be.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Guest Natalie talks about her journey from aspiring model and working in IT sales to head bunny at Playboy London.
- Natalie talks about some of the negative perceptions that people have when they found out she worked for Playboy and how those perceptions could not be further from the truth.
- Natalie talks about how the women are paid more than the men at Playboy which leads into a conversation about the gender pay gap.
- Once Natalie progressed into management at Playboy she found that the women were more threatened by her, and other women, than the men. The ladies talk about how this seems to be a behaviour that exists in all industries.
BEST MOMENTS
“The Playboy bunny costume is such an empowering thing to wear. It makes you feel proud to be a symbol of such a rich history.”
“It’s not a competition, if we all empowered each other then we’d all win.”
“If all you ever do is go on hearsay and assumption then you don’t have the right to judge.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
Natalie's job at Expert Empires (EE) is to ensure that every single client has a world-class experience. Her strengths lie in VIP events, brand collaboration and working as a team, which is exactly why she heads up the amazing client experience team.
The interesting thing with Natalie is where her amazing VIP event and customer experience skills come from. Before joining EE, Natalie spent her previous career travelling the world dressed as a rabbit…and she’s got some pretty cool ‘tails’ to tell about it too.
ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets. But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.
Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick. Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.
Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old-fashioned northern humility.
