The question is quickly answered as the visual soon shifts to a black-and-white image of a stunning young woman wearing a Playboy Bunny outfit from the 1960s.
They end the video by standing up and posing before laughing and joking with each other as it comes to a close.
Appropriately captioned, “i come from a long line of baddies,” the video shows Erika incredibly proud to be descended from the former Playboy Bunny.
According to Business Insider, bunnies have been a staple of the Playboy brand since it opened its first nightclub in 1960.

In the beginning, the bunnies were simply young women who worked as waitstaff in Playboy’s clubs that were curated by the creator of the Playboy empire, Hugh Hefner.
Prospective bunnies had to go through an extensive audition process before landing the job, which required long hours on their feet.
It’s unclear how long Erika’s grandmother worked at the club.
There is one thing that is clear: she was stunning.
The TikTok has garnered more than 1million likes since its debut on the site.
Many viewers took to the comments to share their thoughts about the historic video and ask questions.
“That’s iconic, but I also hope she wasn’t treated bad like the others,” one user commented.
“That’s a huge flex tbh,” another added.
“Yo she was and is so pretty. Grandmas are the best of the best,” another shared.
