I have been working on this one for a little while.  It is difficult to interview several people, especially when we all pretty busy.  I have interviewed 4 people who are active members of the PBM.  The PBM is the RLC version of the Playboy Mansion.  It is a group of fun loving people who are in RLC just to meet people and have a good time.

Unfortunately, I have realized that I am not a very good interviewer.  I guess my dreams of being a crack journalist will never be realized. :)  Once I sent the questions out, I realized that all but 2 of the questions would pretty much be the same answers no matter who was answering them.  So, I will end up putting all of the answers in this post.  The 4 people I interviewed are:

• Distraction_PBM (Owner/Founder)
• Mysteree_PBM (Lead Bunny)
• Rumbo_PPM (Director of Security)
• Mistie_PBM (Lead Bunny)

I want to thank all of these people for answering my questions.  I know you are all very busy, and It means a lot that you took some time out of your schedules to answer these.  I copy and pasted Distraction_PBM's answers for the first 13 questions, since she is the owner / founder of the PBM.  I interjected other interview answers, where they differed enough to be interesting, lol.

1. Who started the Playboy Mansion in RLC? I (Distraction_PBM) founded it and then collaborated with Nitarichman (my sister), Rebel, Magickel and Thunder and we launched it.

2. What were the original goals for it? To have a unique place for all to hang out, something that other clubs did not offer...such as bunnies and Chippendales round the clock and scheduled daily events.

Mysteree's Answer to #2: We wanted this club to be a positive, high class drama free place for people to go dance, mingle and hang out with friends.

3. Are those original goals still being met, or are there new ones? Yes, exceeded actually. We have since expanded into having our own radio station to ensure constant music all day long. PBMHotzone

Mysteree's Answer to #3: For the most part, yes. Drama is difficult to avoid entirely…and some of it may be justified, but the non-essential drama is generally diffused quickly. Our members and Staff are great and we have become more like family than anything else.

Rumbo's Answer to #3:  Yes the goal is being met, the club membership keeps going up and new goals are being made all the time.

4. What kind of organizational structure does the PBM have? Not really an official one per say, we feel its important that those that put efforts into the making the club successful have an input, regardless of ownership.

Mysteree's Answer to #4: There is a board of Directors which governs the overall organization. On a management level, there are Lead Bunnies who lead a small team of bunnies, a Chippendales Leader and a Security Leader.

Rumbo's Answer to #4: We have a great team in PBM all are approachable to talk to if the need is required.We all try to work

Mistie's Answer to #4: Well its pretty good but I feel we need more meetings..lol

5. What kinds of events does the organization hold? We hold nightly themed events with live DJ's and bunnies and dancers. We also hold larger events, such Bunny Pallooza which was held at the amphitheater.

6. What are the advantages of being a PBM Member? To have a private club to either hang out with friends, or enjoy the events we plan nightly. A place to get away from the rat race, and enjoy people you see on a regular basis.

Rumbo's Answer to #6: Being part of a great club and a great bunch of people who will be there for you no matter what

Mistie's Answer to #6: You get free membership and you belong to a great family.

7. Are there different levels of membership? No, one flat rate of 20 rays per month gets you all PBM benefits.

8. Does it cost to be a member? Just 20 rays per month gets you all PBM benefits.

9. How and what does a person have to do to become part of the PBM? Abide by the simple basic rules, of being polite to those around you. Submit a friend request and pay the membership dues.

10. What similarities does the RLC PBM have to the real life PBM? I would say the similarities are very much the same, we provide a carefree and fun environment for all to enjoy. A fantasy in some ways to some, in regards to being able to be close to a Bunny and spend time socializing with them.

Mysteree's Answer to #10: LOL, I have no idea. Our Hugh Heffner is a chick!

Mistie's Answer to #10: A lot of sexy people belong to it

11. Are the ladies encouraged to flirt, or more, with the others at your events? I wouldn't say encouraged, more so be themselves and do what makes them feel comfortable so they and the members have fun.

Mysteree's Answer to #11: We do flirt, mingle and even offer lap dances to our members.

Rumbo's Answer to #11: Yes flirting is encouraged. As our guests are too.As long as no one crosses the line of having fun and being rude

Mistie's Answer to #11: Yes and no but just really am myself, so maybe I am a flirt..lol

12. Do they all have to where the little bunny tail and ears? lol..Why yes of course, afterall we are bunnies :)

Mistie's Answer to #12: Yes, but different events we can dress the part

13. Is there a lot of sex going on during your parties? No we do not promote sex like some clubs within RLC that try and associate themselves to playboy. We are a classy club that is more geared towards having fun and enjoying the company of a sexy bunny.

Mysteree's Answer to #13: There is no sex going on at our parties. We do not encourage our people to solicit sex and if they are caught using our establishment to solicit sex, they will risk banishment. PBMansion is not a whorehouse, so if anyone is expecting that, please look up a working girl or guy at one of the designated “working girl/guy” areas in RLC

Rumbo's Answer to #13: I don't know I don't go looking. But if that's what you want to do then the facilities are here:)

Mistie's Answer to #13: No there isn't..it's very professional

14. What is your role in the PBM? I (Distraction) am the owner/founder and basically try and keep things rolling smoothly.

Mysteree's Answer to #14: I am a Lead Bunny.

Rumbo's Answer to #14: My role in PBM is director of security.we have a group of men and women who are there to look after the ladies(from evicting idiots and fools and people who want to spoil others fun)

Mistie's Answer to #14: Lead bunny

15. What does being a PBM Mean to you? Its means friendship, a bond, family and fun.

Mysteree's Answer to #15: It is a wonderful group of people to socialize and generally hang out with. It is very relaxed and if you don’t have a good time…I’d be surprised. I only wish I could devote more time and energy to the club. Not enough time between real life and RLC friendships.

Rumbo's Answer to #15: Being part of a Great Team of people who like to entertain others and have lots of fun and laughter along the way:)
I JUST LOVE IT TOO

Mistie's Answer to #15: I belong to a great family and Its a respectful place...

Well, that was the entire interview.  I hope you enjoyed reading about the PBM, and learned something about it.  I know I did.  The PBM is a well run organization in RLC.  I have been to a few of their parties, and have always felt very welcome (even when not doing interviews)!  If you get a chance to go to one of their parties, definitely go!  If you want to belong to a great bunch of people, feel free to join!

I know there are other organizations within RLC, and I would also like to get to know more about those organizations.  If you know of any, please contact me using the contact page.
