Bunny tail left behind

Heidi Vos (65) lives in Port Elizabeth and is a retired Playboy Bunny. She recently made headlines again when she auctioned her famous Bunny tail for charity. Heidi was born in Duchove, Czechoslovakia and lost her parents to disease in a refugee camp. She was smuggled to Germany as a toddler by an aunt. In her teens, she became an au pair in the USA while finishing school. After school she went to New Orleans and became a Playboy Bunny at the recommendation of a boyfriend. She spent three years there. She married, worked for a shipping company and spent seven years in England. In 1977 she married again, in Florida, USA, to Alan Vos of Port Elizabeth. In 1991 they moved to Port Elizabeth. Heidi was also one of the world's first women disc jockeys. She's written many recipe books and was founder of Port Elizabeth's annual Chilli Festival, at which her tail was auctioned in aid of Barcelona Feeding Scheme, a charity which feeds 300 people daily. Unfortunately, no bids were received.
