EDISON, N.J. — The ChickPass site T&A Housewives has been relaunched as Chickpass MILFs.

The maneuver brings the “foundational brand owner Logan Drake started nearly 30 years ago into alignment with the wider ChickPass Cinematic Universe,” said a rep. “This rebranding unifies it with other labels, including ChickPass Amateurs, ChickPass Teens, ChickPass Lesbians, XXX NJ, Fuck The Geek, Bouncy Chicks, Mini Muffs, Fucking Parties, and Stuff In Twats.”

With the relaunch comes a new scene with Suzy Wylde, who is in the mood for more than just toys when she puts in an order at Dildo Dash, and is thrilled when site honcho Logan Drake turns up at her door.

“The eager Suzy wastes no time, dropping to her knees to suck his cock with zeal,” a synopsis reveals. “Logan takes charge, flipping her for doggystyle, where he thrusts deep into her dripping pussy. They switch to missionary, building the intensity until Logan unloads a big creampie inside her pussy, leaving her satisfied and sticky.”

The scene is streaming at ChickPassMILFs.
