How Madame Bovary Became A Bunny Girl (at The Age Of 154)

Posted at 6:34AM Monday 06 Sep 2010

Shock horror: bored doctor's wife becomes a Bunny Girl at the age of 154.

Playboy magazine's literary "Playmate of the Month" is Madame Bovary, the naughty doctor's wife from a small town in Normandy who first outraged – and delighted – French readers in 1856. As one of its occasional excursions into literary erotica, the September edition of the American version of Playboy includes a chapter from a new English translation of Gustave Flaubert's classic novel.
