Bunny Yeager oli teedrajav modell, disainer ja fotograaf, kes aitas populariseerida bikiine, leiutas selfie, avastas Bettie Page’i ning tõi 1950. aastate pin-up seksikatesse fotodesse feministliku eneseteostuse idee. Kultuuriikoonide, sealhulgas fotograaf Bruce Weberi, Dita Von Teese’i ja Larry Kingi meenutustele toetudes jälgib film naiste enesemääramise arengut, kasutades selleks Yeageri erakordset arhiivi.

Yeageri lugu viib meid ajastusse, mil naise keha oli korraga nii ihaldusobjekt kui ka rangelt kontrollitud ühiskondlik sümbol. Tema fotodel muutus kaamera aga vahendiks, mille kaudu naised said ise otsustada, kuidas neid nähakse. Film uurib, kuidas Yeager nihutas piire erootika, kunsti ja eneseväljenduse vahel ning kuidas tema töö peegeldab laiemat muutust naiste suhtes: objektist subjektiks, kel on õigus oma keha ja kuvandi üle ise otsustada.

Bunny Yeager was a trailblazing model, designer, and photographer who popularized the bikini, invented the selfie, discovered Bettie Page, and introduced feminist agency in pin-ups and sexy pictures in the ’50s. With the testimonies of cultural icons that include photographer Bruce Weber, Dita Von Teese, and Larry King, the film portrays the evolution of women’s autonomy through the use of her extraordinary archive.

Yeager’s story takes us back to an era when the female body was both an object of desire and a strictly controlled social symbol. In her photographs, however, the camera became a means through which women could decide for themselves how they wanted to be seen. The film explores how Yeager pushed the boundaries between eroticism, art, and self- expression, and how her work reflects a broader shift in the perception of women — from objects to subjects with the right to define their own bodies and images.
