Star Von Bunny: A Model Tale

By Kym Canter and Ellen Kahn

"Think like a Star, act like a Star, eat like a Star, dress like a Star, and someday soon you can be just like Star "--Star Von Bunny

She's got the determination of the Energizer bunny, the cool edge of Hello Kitty, the ego of Miss Piggy, and the wardrobe of Barbie. She's Star Von Bunny, a white rabbit with a vintage look and a modern attitude. With her sights set on fame, Star cozies up to all of the right people--Beyonce, Bono, and Christy Turlington, to name a few. Star wants to be a model/actress/whatever and she's determined to do what it takes to become one. An all white foods diet? Bring on the marshmallows and mashed potatoes Hot yoga? No sweat A rock star boyfriend, well-connected friends, cover shoots with Elle? As Star says, "I was made for this " And she's proving it. She's a vixen at NY and LA's hottest spots, Gaultier has dressed her, and top fashion editors have featured her in their magazines.

Now, fans can follow Star's journey from obscurity in her suburban bedroom to red carpet success. Star Von Bunny grants her followers backstage access to the soft furry underbelly of the sometimes misunderstood fame machine.

A Precious Treasure

I read a small article about this book in Elle Magazine before it debuted. I pre-ordered it for myself because I thought it would be cute. When I received it, I read it and fell in LOVE! (So in love, I ordered more and gave them as Christmas presents!) I call this book "my precious treasure." It's only a 20 minute read about a white stuffed animal bunny whose name is S.V.B.(complete with a star in her right eye). She tells her story about wanting to become a model, beginning with traveling to NYC, her daily diet, getting a manager, creating her portfolio, the many celebrities she meets and ends with her positive note that you can be what and whoever you want to be as long as you try your very best. Star is just so precious and gives warm fuzzies to anyone who reads it. It's simply fabulous!

The Stuffing that dreams are made of...

A delightful, exquisitely designed volume that follows the improbable rise of a short, slightly chubby, stuffed bunny rabbit from suburban bedroom to fashion runway to a podium at the Oscars. Along the way "Star" brushes fur with the likes of Bono, Beyonce, and Jean Paul Gaultier. A wonderful tale of desire and "making it," pulled off with nary a mention of the words "carrot" or "hop."

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.
