Star Von Bunny is intent on making it in New York City as a model. Upon her arrival in NYC, Star quickly learns a few
things about the business. First, she drops the Von Bunny, even though she is descended from the famous Von Bunny
clan (a small white lie, but since her dossier is made up of many of them, no harm done). She'll be like Twiggy, Cher,
Madonna -- a true star by the name of Star. She also signs with Bored Model Management and creates her first calling
card, along with several test shots for her portfolio.
Star has some special qualities that could work for or against her in the modeling business. She's beautiful, no doubt, but
she's also furry. She's quite short (only 18 inches), but she also has near-perfect measurements (14", 14.5", 13"). She
has a tail, but really, what other model in the world can use that as their claim to fame? Star wants to be a famous
model, and what Star wants, Star gets.
This is a short, hilarious story of one bunny's attempt to make it big in the world of modeling. Parody or not, it's a fun
read, and includes fabulous photos of Star in all her glory, along with many high-society models (although none of them
can claim Star's gorgeous white fur and perky tail).
A portion of the proceeds from sales of STAR VON BUNNY will benefit Doctors Without Borders, which is just
another reason to pick up a copy of this highly entertaining tale -- or tail.
