You are listening to social bees radio, where we put the honey in the honey pots. I'm your director rickster. And if you ever wanted to know everything and anything about web three crypto or NF T's, you're in the right place. So fasten your seat belt. Get ready. Let's get started


0:31  
Alright, let's get started. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us here on the swarm unplug. I'm super excited today to bring back Victoria Fuller, a former Playboy Playmate from January 96. Although I've been told once a playmate always a play me. And Victoria will attest to that. We had the pleasure of having Victoria on just about four months ago, when she was in the early stages of launching her rogue bunny series project. And she has come a tremendously long way from that point. And without further ado, I'd like to bring up a Victoria. Hey, Victoria, how are you?

1:22  
Hi, I'm good. I'm really good

1:24  
know, happy that you joined us again. And we had a great time the first go around about four months ago, we've been tracking your project and your progress. And my God, you have fulfilled every one of your commitments and moving forward. And I would love for you to talk about them and give a little bit of a prelude of how you first got started in the wise we know that Hugh Hefner in his passing a lot of the collateral that the bunnies had owned, was locked up in a vault. So basically, from what I understand, it's really taking back who you are your collateral and moving forward as independent. So take it away, Victoria.

2:08  
Yeah, so Well, you know, yeah, things very much changed when when have passed away, and the man who was no longer there, you know, that was kind of our community hub, our our second home, and, and then, you know, the landscape of Playboy changed quite a bit as far as their target audience, and it kind of left our, our regular playmate followers, kind of in a, in a, they, you know, they kind of didn't have anywhere to go. And so, you know, so I started this project with 100, Playboy playmates, who wanted to follow me into web three, and basically take control of our intellectual property as as playmates and continue to put ourselves out there and be able to reconnect with our community and our fans and our followers and our collectors in a new way, using the blockchain technology and NFT. And creating utility for access into into our world into our world in the metaverse and even in real life events, which is seems to be shaping up more and more, I didn't think that that was going to happen. So that's a little bit of a surprise, but it seems that nothing can be you know, human contact, let's face it. And yeah, so the project has been growing crazy. We have the partnership with dapper labs, we're a multi chain multiversal project, and we're women lead supporting women, you know, bridging that diversity gap of the, you know, there's so many men in the space and so definitely bringing all these amazing ladies and also being able to rewrite kind of, like our legacy in terms of the perception of who, what it is to be a playmate. And, and being able to have control over that, you know, we are a crew of amazing, intelligent, entrepreneurial, ambitious, talented women who are capable of creating innovative compelling product in the web three space, and we're here to show you what that's all about. And going rogue just means really, you know, taking control of, of, like I said, our intellectual property and who we are and our destiny and away from a big brand that no longer seems to utilize us. Let's face it, they don't, you know, we're not getting any calls. So, so yeah, so this is a way and then also, you know, like we're sorority we're all back together. So it's been really exciting to kind of have have our little bunny community it's the bunny community is strong in itself, and then invite other people into that community making an even bigger community and, and the community building I'm I'm actually surprised is, is one of the hardest things to do in any of these projects. Truly one of the hardest things to do, but one of the most ordering things because there's all these people around us and people that have wanted to connect with us. And now we have one, one place one way or multiple places, actually, but so many different opportunities to connect with it with this growing community. So that's, that's been really, really exciting on top of I get to talk to these girls all the time now, you know, we were kind of out of touch for a little while all just kind of discombobulated all over and doing our own thing. And, and even for the fans that were collecting us, they really, they had to kind of go here and there and trying to DM us on social media. And, you know, that's not, that's not the same as the web three connection. Right? So. So this has been a really valuable. It's been really a great journey. And it's not over yet. I mean, we just scratched the tip of the iceberg. There's so much more going on with this project, you know, that we continue to announce on our roadmap, as I said, and it's, it's been, it's just been great. I'm very, very happy. It's been super exciting.

5:59  
Well, aside from exciting, I mean, I've been following you from day one. And it's certainly very successful in what you're doing. And I ended so intriguing that somebody you know, who followed the bunnies years ago can actually go into an AMA on Twitter, and listen to the stories that you know, the group is, is actually talking about firsthand, you know, the experiences they've had, how they've met, you know, Hefner, it's just, it's just amazing. And I just the media, there's so, so alive with energy and talking about the experiences, and you get to really know them a little bit better. I wish some of the MBAs AMA's would be live visual. I mean, that's the next phase that we need to work on. Fantastic.

6:47  
Yeah, certainly, we're gonna have a lot of in real life. Events are, you know, first one coming up on the 23rd. So it's coming up real quick. And tonight, there's actually an AMA speak speak of the devil. And it's a, it's Mariah Davis, and she's an incredible gorgeous playmate from the 90s. And we're going to be hearing her story, everybody can meet her tonight on our Twitter spaces at at the rogue bunnies, on our Twitter at the rogue bunnies. So she'll be she'll be there tonight. And that should be really fun. And even the girls, we get to know each other in a different way too, because I learned stuff about the girls that I wouldn't have known because we like to try to bring out like facts and little tidbits of stuff that maybe people wouldn't realize. And a lot of it you know, I didn't know, like how how each girl's story got into the magazine, how you know how that on all unfolded and how that experience was everybody's is a little bit different. And it's all it's all really interesting, because we were there all of us were there for a lot of us. You know, I remember this girl when she came onto the scene, and someone remembers me and so, so yeah, that for that it's been really, really cool.

7:50  
And of course, you get to hear some some of the the unknown stories that you would never hear without this organization. Now, one of the AMA's I remember, there were two playmates that went shopping that weren't supposed to they were out, you know, around town doing all this shopping, and they went back and was oh my god, we got away with it.

8:12  
Yeah, I mean, we booked on so many incredible jobs all the time and so many jobs in Vegas, where, you know, there was just so many opportunities to, you know, to skate to skirt to, you know, to sneak off to, you know, to go have fun or or whatever. And, and there we are, we do have a channel that's being developed right now, in our Discord for stories that are a little bit maybe not appropriate for Twitter ama just a little bit more, you know, juicy here, and those are the bunny tails. And those are going to be happening pretty quick here for our holders. Ava Fabian is an incredible storyteller. She has done so much. She has the best stories she's she's she's just She's been an incredible ambassador for that brand. And she traveled all over the world. In her bunny costume her and I were actually the first bunnies girls to be put in a bunny costume. You know, during the 80s all the clubs closed down and then there was a stretch of time where there was no bunnies, no clubs, nothing was active and then half wanted to bring back that iconic, that iconic trademark that kind of you know that that that bunny costume which wasn't being utilized. It's the only costume ever it's a non government uniform that's patented by the US government. And and it's and it's the only one and it's it's so timeless and there's something so special about being part of being a bunny. Now traditionally, it was a waitress, right? But when he brought the bunnies, the costume back for us to kind of wear as an iconic, you know, visual for us to go out and be ambassadors we were not allowed to, you know, obviously waitress or anything, and he chose two girls to be the first bunnies when he brought them back and it was Ava and I so Ava and I worked. We worked like dogs in those costumes. We worked all the time traveling all over the world and and even at the mansion again. Countless tours and and then for for about the first couple years and then after like the second or third year then then they started adding more girls and more girls and then it became a thing that if you were playmate you got fitted for bunny costume so then it became your playmate, your bunny, you know what I mean? So so there's the confusion, why people don't necessarily know the difference, I think between a bunny and a playmate and, and it is a little confusing, but it's been an incredible ride and, and all those stories and all that just just so much history there and so many things that have did that people wouldn't know about or hear about. He was just such a funny, amazing, he was so sharp and so witty. I mean, he he was so funny. I mean, really funny, that you wouldn't expect he'd say things that he was just so quick. But yeah, having us all together and kind of there was so many things I forgot. And then girl tell a story of like, Oh, I remember that I had totally forgotten about that. So yeah, crazy.

10:55  
I see a book in the making of the stories, that you're actually, you know, doing livestream and Twitter spaces. That's a good idea. Put that on the back burner. But let's a little little road in history back that your first launch was a very successful launch. And it was 13 Rogue bunny, gold Genesis series that weren't meant did in a normal fashion. They were they were auctioned off. And I found that to be very interesting. And that was your first series that you know, I think every day you have what was it two days, the last

11:36  
day, so we'd give it a we give it 24 hour for the auction, and then there would be a time to reset and then we would put the next auction up. And we did it for 13. That, you know, it was part of a that is from a part from the generative drop that we have put on ice because you know, there's so much that happened with Ukraine and the bear market and all this stuff. So we thought we'll just put out a really small exclusive set that's more one on one with holding the key, that holding of the key will be something in the generative drop, that will be the very high VIP trait that won't happen in all of them. That'll be a very small few. But we wanted to put out this 13th to kind of we wanted to get on the blockchain, we wanted to get something we wanted to get involved with our community and have them be really involved in invested in us. So we did put that out. And I was really nervous. But it proved to be really successful. And it has a 6/8 floor price still. So you know, thanks to all the the people that bought them are holding holding them. I mean, people have made offers sure, but I guess whoever is holding on to them is not letting them go at this point. So So those

12:44  
when you have you know when you have a one of a third team, yeah, it's like, you know, you've got the Gold Key to the to the match. And wherever that happens to be whether it be the metaverse or, at some point in time, you know, you've got a giant party, you know, once a year, they're not letting go that they're not letting them go for those reasons. And your next phase, which is relatively new, I think it's probably a little less than a month is your trading card series. That was a little bit about that and how people can get involved with them. And what's the use case? And what are your, your purchases doing with them at this point?

13:24  
Yeah, so we got this partnership with dapper labs quite a time ago. And we finally just, we just launched this product on flow in the flow ecosystem. So you know that that the gold Genesis is on a theorem and it's it's sits with open sea and this is on the flow, flow blockchain and with dapper and we are actually in the dapper Wallet. So I don't know if people realize but the dapper wallet is really special because there's only 30 I think there's 35 or 36 projects in there only right now. So not everybody that's on flow is in the dapper Wallet. So the dapper wallet consists of NBA top shots, UFC NFL, Dr. Seuss, a bunch of other ones maybe people haven't heard and then of course, rogue bunny. So we're in really good company and we sit in this wallet with them and the best part about the wallet is that you know having to educate people and onboard them into the web three and NFT world is is a challenge right and it's and it can be super intimidating. But what dapper has done is so amazing is they've made it as easy as you just need your little debit card. And then you log into the marketplace that when you go to buy something, you put your name and your your you know your email and whatever and you kind of set up a little profile and you're already buying and selling NF T's right on the spot. So they've made it so easy. You don't have to do any crypto exchange you don't have to do any of that it all shows up in USD and it's all super their wallets are super secure is no hacking, you know all that stuff. And so, so rogue bunnies has launched with them and the trading cards are doing great. They're they're being sold in packs, kind of like the NBA Top Shot and they're are animated trading cards and they come in three different packs, the common pack has five and, and the uncommon pack has and it's $10 and the uncommon pack is $15. And there's three in there but you're guaranteed an uncommon card. And then there's a rare pack that has three and that is $190. But you're guaranteed a rare card with a higher percentage of getting the legendary and the epic which are you know, obviously, the Epic is the Willy Wonka of the batch. And that will that is the epic cards are the same as the gold key holders and the legendary cards are you know, their VIP they get into the events and and and they have a lot of perks as well not the same as the gold gold key because that's the you know, the top of the top of the line but so we've been selling these packs in and we've just started in challenges so they have a point value we have a leaderboard, and we're doing games where we're giving prizes out for the games and it's been it's been proven to be super fun so we all chat about it in our in the discord and we talked about cards that we have and and once you're a holder of these cards then you can get in the token gated area once you're verified we're all the bunnies are in our Discord. So we're there all the time chatting away with folks and just getting to know each other it's been really really fun. I mean all the girls have such different interests. So we have all kinds of channels we have an art channel, a fitness channel, a cooking channel, a Food Channel and so the girls have kind of taken on some of these channels as like of course the art channels mine right but the girls take on all these other channels and kind of post one girl posts about her garden all the time and other ones always making incredible food and another girl has another buddy has CrossFit gyms and so she does these workouts all the time. A lot of butt workouts she's a great but and and so just just fun stuff like that. And it's and we're just growing the community for you know what's to come, which is you know, the metaverse in the in real life events which which which are going to be aplenty. So in this in this next 12 months.

17:08  
Wow, exciting. I see some of your fans are chiming in here. Marsh I've seen many times in discord. So so he's here saying hi. And what is this victorious goal? Genesis one for 60. Yeah, that was a pretty amazing event. I was watching some of these auctions that went off and it was just very exciting. For every

17:32  
it was the auctions were I have to say the auctions were really fun for everybody, because they would come right down to like, the last second and then and then there would be a bid and then it would kind of open it up for like 10 more minutes. And, and so we'd be like, Oh, we can't believe so it was really, really fun. I really actually really liked the

17:48  
reminded me of the original eBay premise. Where, you know, you clicked it and you got another few seconds. Yeah. And they actually means that so that, you know, you can actually Rob somebody of it, you know, if you put the button second before the end, the final end, but I think that was marvelously done and, and you did a great job with that. What do you see going on with the trading cards now that's pretty interesting. You have an entire platform where people can actually trade these in the event that they have, you know, more ones like baseball cards, and collect their favorites. That's pretty, you know, intriguing, and that you have on what platform of the trading cards.

18:34  
So we have our own marketplace on the flow blockchain and through the dapper wallet utilizing the dapper wallet so you just can go to rogue bunnies.com And you can right there as the portal to get into into the marketplace. And, and yeah, and then we have a promo going on. And we talked about it in the back. So I feel like I already talked about it but I guess we didn't. So there's a promo going on just we're boxing a time for this. While I'm on the show right now. For anybody that's listening and if you buy a rare pack you are you will automatically get it one of the gold bonus Eva cards, which has a great point value and will come in handy in some of these challenges that are coming up. And and you will also receive for every rare pack that you buy, you will receive an entry in the raffle to get to be a guest at our in real life event here in LA on September 23, which is coming up quick at the Ziggy hotel and it's a super private event with the syndicate and Scott Page from Pink Floyd there's gonna be music, art and culture. Gabe Weiss is going to be there. I mean, there's going to be there's so many artists that are going to be there live painting and the bunnies are going to be there. You know, it's going to be a really great event where all the girls are so excited like to get back together. This will be our first time that we've had a an event where we're all going to show up and hang out together in real life. So you

19:58  
said this was a private event. The does that mean that it's not open to the public? How would somebody go? Well, you can't?

20:06  
Well, you can be one of our VIP holders to get to get a ticket. And if you do, you get a plus one, you bring a plus one. Or like I said, if you buy some of these packs, and you get a raffle ticket, and we're given away three invites, which is a three, three invites with a plus one. So if you get when you get a plus ones, you get basically two tickets. And so you get to enter into for the raffle to come to win a prize to come to get invited to this event. And it's going to be because it's put on by the syndicate. They are a community of like, really heavy hitters, CEOs, founders, tons of people in the music business, Hollywood elite. It's definitely mentioned 2.0.

20:50  
Wow, amazing. Amazing. Yeah. And then you have a third, I'm not going to say your last because you are a person that is evolving project. You've got a another launch coming down the generative launch. When do you expect that to happen? And what is that? You know, what are those like?

21:11  
Yeah, so the generative drop is 100% is 100%, hand digitally hand painted by both myself and the artist named Dutch. He also worked on the trading cards, which I could talk about, but he's an incredible artist, and we collabed on truly collabed he and I did all the art for this generative drop, and it there's over 250 traits. It's 30. It's based on 13 Different actual playmates, and their likeness. And, and it's a it's a series of around 9000. And, yeah, so that when that one was put on ice, because it just didn't seem like the right time in the bear market. And, and really, the dapper was, the dapper kind of came front and center, which was a blessing because of how they were getting people into into getting, you know, into NF T's was so easy. So this one's coming down the line, I would say in the next couple of months, and we just haven't set a date yet. We're just really building the community and kind of we have so much going on like that would be overloaded, like to bring that in. But, but

22:20  
you gotta let your trading cards you know, trade out and mature in volume. And you don't want to bring another project in right away. Now, with this 13 Bunnies, is it the same 13 that are the gold Genesis bunnies, or some of them are all yes,

22:37  
yeah. So that's, that's who was in that in that project. And, you know, we have series two coming out of the trading cards. So we have four series altogether. And so there's going to be, you know, a rollout for all of them. Just as just as we've been doing and more prizes. And like I said before, we have the poker, so you automatically get entered into poker, and there's prizes for that. So we have lots of engagements and contests and just so much, it just feels like there's so much going on and so much that's about to go on, in, you know, coming up, we just got accepted in the NFT yearbook. And that was really exciting for 2022. So that was the official we got the official Yes, you guys are in. So that's all being worked out now. So that's, we're gonna be doing Twitter spaces with that crew talking about that. But yeah, there's just so much going on, it just seems to be kind of coming at at us really quickly now. And the community is building which is really exciting. And, you know, we're talking about collabing with other projects, you know, and starting to kind of get those details underway. So yeah, it's just, it's just

23:46  
amazing. I mean, if you think about NFPs and trading cards and equate them to baseball cards, for $25 You're talking about getting aid cards. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty amazing. As far as the price point, you know, very, very low risk, and you're actually getting a piece of art you're getting you know, a chart of one of your your real you know, we're a life bunny. And again, if you've got you know, the gusto to go with the high end one which will offer a higher resale value decide to sell it I think that's a great price point. And you know, it's not intimidating at all, which I'm really you know, you came out with the right market price and they should they should be flying off the shelf.

24:35  
Yeah, we're good I think it's doing great you know, like this is not a market where things sell through in five minutes and we also have to get away from like feeling like things have to be so instant like that, you know, building a community a strong community takes time. And it's a you know, it's a it's a slow and steady process. If you if you just gather people really quickly, oftentimes they don't stay and we've we've had great success and people coming into our community and staying and being really amazing members, supporting members of our community, and you know, buying these trading cards, you know, you could buy these trading cards, and then you can just come talk to the the girls about it, you know, like, oh, we talked about it all the time, oh, you got this card that actually a lot of the girls are collecting, too. They're collecting and they're doing the challenges, which was unexpected, I thought, Oh, they're gonna look at them or whatever. And I, they're all going to want like a couple of each, but they ended up buying, actually wanting to get in the game of with, with our community in doing these challenges and stuff. So it's really kind of fun. So like, they'll say, oh, I have an extra of this. And so when I have an extra and then go, Okay, I'm gonna put it for sale on the market. And then, you know, so we're all kind of helping each other with our collections and stuff. It's really kind of fun. So,

25:46  
yeah, no, yeah, I'm guessing you don't have the ability to actually transfer these ruin while connect, they must be sold. Correct.

25:55  
You know, right now, you know, the way the dapper sets it up, you know, initially like you, you can only buy one pack at a time, which, you know, that's that's going to change them. But also you're going to Yeah, you know, they're the You Can you have to have any NFT you have to hold for at least seven days before you can push it out to the secondary market. But the feature to just transfer from one wallet to the next is not there yet, but that's on the horizon.

26:23  
Well, I think that's, I think that's a good point that it's at this point, not because you do want to see interested people, not just swapping them off chain, but you know,

26:34  
they're they're going into their madness is, you know, to, you know, to promote the secondary sales and, and to get more and more people engaged. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

26:46  
Well, we got Jennifer chiming in, I know if you're caught killing it, as usual, Victoria.

26:53  
So Jennifer is part of the court. She's not only a bunny, she's on the bunny team, but she's a part of the core team. She does. She does the bunny coordinating, asset coordinating. And she also does all the social media. So all that social media that you see all the time this is this girl is a dynamo. She doesn't stop. And yeah, it's wasn't for her. We she's just, she's just killing. I'm so lucky to have her because the social media is such a big integral part, you know, such a valuable tool for this project, and certainly very time consuming. So she does a great job.

27:28  
Well, like I said earlier, I mean, you actually have followed through everything that you listed and talked about, you know, from day one, four months ago, we had the pleasure of having you at the NFT connect in Austin, Texas, you did a great job on the panel. And we certainly are going to follow you and your project very closely. And wish you all the best. I mean, is there something that you'd like to leave, you know, to our listeners as just thoughts about you know, what's going on and the excitement level? Like, I see you not just doing the project, but you are so super excited about it. Yeah, seems to be growing in leaps and bounds almost what your kitchens were, which is great.

28:12  
Yeah, it's just it's just keeps, it just keeps it's become a it's exceeded my expectation, and it's, it's growing really rapidly. And there's so much more to come. And, you know, rogue bunnies.com Go there and get in the game and see what it's all about. And you know, for $10 you can get in our get get in the game and see what the cards are all about.
