LOS ANGELES — Playboy has released its Valentine’s Day lingerie collections, available now on Playboy.com and in the brand’s retail location at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles.

The collection includes the “Miss February” 5-piece set as a nod to the Playboy magazine cover from February 1991.

In the company’s post-magazine era, the lingerie releases “mark the continued expansion of Playboy’s owned-and-operated (O&O) apparel,” a rep noted. “Since November 2022, Playboy has successfully launched O&O lingerie, denim, velour and sleepwear.”

The “Miss February” 5-piece set includes a push-up plunge bra, corset, garter belt, thong and babydoll shorts, each featuring a heart and the brand’s Rabbit Head custom embroidery on optic white mesh and adorned with ruffle edge detailing.

PLBY Group Vice President of Design Jason Mahler said, “The Playboy Valentine’s Day Cherry Bomb collection continues to explore the Playboy Lingerie ethos of innerwear as outerwear.  Drawing on the brand iconography of the Rabbit Head, we are offering three key collections: the Icon collection has been updated with a heart motif and a metallic foil; our new Mini Bunny set with custom engineered scattered Rabbit Head embroideries; and our Miss February collection. That collection comprises five mix and match pieces that can be worn for an intimate night in or a playful night out.  To round out our offering, we have updated our core essentials collection with seasonally relevant shades of cherry red and candy pinks.”

Playboy previewed its Valentine’s Day lingerie collection at a party at The Fleur Room in Los Angeles earlier this month which was attended by Landon Barker, Beck and Charly Jordan, who played a special DJ set.

The pieces range from $33 to $135.

VAN NUYS, Calif. — U.S. Arcades is declaring Wednesday, Feb. 1 the second annual “National Arcade Day,” and is celebrating with a special promotion.

When visitors purchase a $20 arcade ticket, they will be awarded $25 worth of credits. These free credits can be used to watch movies, chat with a cam model or to bestow a tip.

NEW YORK — CockyBoys has released the sixth and final scene from the Jake Jaxson-directed title, “Happy Endings.”

The scene features a six-man orgy starring CockyBoys exclusives Greyson Myles, Lane Colten, Trevor Brooks and Tristan Hunter, along with Cody Seiya and Shae Reynolds.

“Since we have been celebrating our 15-year anniversary, I originally wanted to make a feature that was a nod to some of the past films that have been a big part of our success over the years, like ‘The Haunting’, ‘Answered Prayers’, and ‘All Saints,'” Jaxson said. “These were projects I loved making, and in many ways defined CockyBoys as a studio.”

The director went on to praise his cast.

“I did not realize how delightful it would be working with a completely new group of guys — all relatively new to the industry, none having performed in a studio feature before, but all completely committed and dedicated to doing their best,” he said. “In the process, this cast delivered connected, sensual, and passionate performances that have exceeded all my expectations — I honesty could not be more happy and proud of what we made, and I feel confident in saying there is nothing like ‘Happy Endings’ in the gay porn canon.”

All six scenes are streaming on CockyBoys.
