Playboy Plus Season 2021 Full Episode Guide
Ring in the New Year with Roxy Ferrari in this celebratory second gallery and video from the photographer, Maddie Cordoba. Dressed in all black, Roxy is ready for all 2022 has in store. “I’ve had a passion for music and fashion since I was little. Growing up, my mom would put on music videos and have fashion magazines everywhere,” she shares. “I knew I always wanted to be a part of that world somehow.” Roxy plans to do more of what she loves in the New Year. “What I love most about DJing is being in a different place and venue every gig,” she shares. “It makes the job exciting and never boring.” When she’s not working, Roxy loves to keep moving. “I enjoy listening to music, traveling, working out, and hiking in my free time.”
“This is the vessel that I’m fortunate enough to walk through life in, and I couldn’t be more proud of it,” says Junipr Keiko as she returns to Playboy Plus for this third pictorial shot by the photographer, Tina Louise. On location in Joshua Tree, California, Junipr spends the night connect ing with all of you, her most recent Playboy fans. “Playboy is classic. Being a part of it, especially now, is an honor,” she says. “I can’t wait to be a weird old lady who tells people she’s a Bunny.” For Junipr, posing nude brings her great pride and confidence. “Most of us spend so much time at war with our own bodies when they carry us through everything,” she shares thoughtfully. “Life is so short, and youth is gone before most of us really learn to appreciate it. [Posing nude] is very freeing.” Junipr can often be found doing any of her many hobbies in her free time.
“The thing I love the most about my job is that I get to be creative every day,” says newcomer Milan Rose. Doing just that, on location in her home country of Canada, Milan poses for the photographer, Cassandra Keyes. “I’m super passionate about creative direction! There’s just something a bout helping create a project out of a single idea and watching it come to life.” For Milan, modeling is a means of self-expression like any other art form. “I was totally comfortable posing nude,” she smiles. “Everyone at my shoot made me feel welcome; I worked with a great team of females.” For Milan, her work is also meant to inspire other women to find their own strength and confidence. “Female empowerment is so important to me. I feel like it’s our duty as women to help each other feel empowered, loved, and appreciated.”
We’re wrapping up the year on a high note with this exciting and memorable Editor’s Choice gallery and video featuring this year’s All Stars. Look back on sets from Emily Willis (February), Harley Dean (March), Emma Hix (April), Jane Wilde (May), Sophie Dee (June), Keisha Grey (July), Mia Malk ova (August), Ryan Reid (September), Maitland Ward (October), Eliza Ibarra (November), and Julie Kay (December).
December All Star, Julie Kay returns to Playboy Plus in this brand new pictorial from the photographer, JT, and producer, Ana Foxxx. In Los Angeles, California, Julie spends the afternoon fantasizing poolside — something she often does through literature. “My passion? Writing. When I realized I wanted to be a published author, I knew that was it — that’s what I wanted ultimately,” she shares, “To reach people and tell a story they can relate to, cry to, laugh to— that’s the impact I want to make.” For Julie, downtime is usually spent with a good book. “What do I enjoy in my spare time? Reading mostly,” she smiles. “I like to escape reality.” In this moment, Julie is happy to be on set as our December Adult Star feature. “What do I love most about my job? The freedom,” she says. “I make more than I would if I had stayed in school and gotten a normal job.” Julie also adores the art that goes into creating a project like this.
If you loved getting to know adult industry legend Joanna Angel on our 2020 Playboy TV show, “Stay In. Get Off.,” then you’re in for a special treat. For the first time on Playboy Plus, we’re ecstatic to be collaborating with Joanna again as a Celebrity feature. On set in Los Angeles, Califo rnia, Joanna makes a stunning debut in a delicate white dress and angel wings as the photographer, Maddie Córdoba, captures her.
For her debut pictorial, Sophia explored the mountainsides of southern Spain. Now, for her second feature, Sophia stays inside as the photographer Henrik Pfeifer captures her infectious positive energy. “I’m introverted and shy at first,” says Sophia of herself. “But I would say I’m a litt le wild,” she adds with a laugh. Sophia believes in living in the moment, and she’s soaking up this one on set with us. “What does Playboy mean to me? I just think it’s an honor to be a part of it,” she shares. “I’m really blessed.” Posing nude, for Sophia, is a unique way of staying true to herself. “I feel free and empowered,” she says. “I think every body is art. [No one] has the same curves. [Everyone] is different, and the difference is what makes it interesting!”
Welcome newcomer, DizzyMsLizzyy to Playboy Plus is this romantic debut from the photographer, Madeline Northway. On location in a gorgeous courtyard garden in Austin, Texas, DizzyMsLizzyy tells us all about herself while dressed in Dottie’s Delights and Marie Mur. “My most sincere passion is mod eling,” says the pinup model and paralegal. “Modeling has allowed me to express myself entirely. [It] continues to motivate me and inspire me to push bigger boundaries.” Radiating a classic Playboy vibe, DizzyMsLizzyy’s vintage look is totally intentional and something she holds dearly. “I love to collect pre-1960s vintage,” she tells us, “both clothes and home decor. You name it, [and] I probably got it!” DizzyMsLizzyy is also a lover of vintage Playboys, making this experience particularly special. “I first discovered Playboy at a friend’s house, and her dad was a collector. We happened upon his collection by accident, and my eyes were glued to the beautiful imagery,” she shares.
Kyrah brings artistic expression to a whole new level with this brand new gallery and video from the photographer, Robert Hankins. “I am most happy when I’m around the people I love,” says Kyrah of herself. So far, many of Kyrah’s pictorials have been inspired by her passions, and we’re ex cited to show Kyrah painting in this one. “I enjoy painting, reading poetry, and designing clothes,” she tells us. For Kyrah, posing nude is also an art form. “The bare body is beautiful,” she says. “A woman doesn’t have to be modest to be respected. I feel comfortable [posing nude]— like I’m in my natural habitat.” When dating, Kyrah needs someone to match her. “Confidence is the sexiest thing in the world,” she tells us. “My biggest turn-on is ambition and someone intellectual. I look for someone who can mentally stimulate me. I [also] love a man who loves nature and the simple things in life.”
Enjoy the outdoors with International model Jasmin as she returns for her second gallery and video from the photographer, Henrik Pfeifer. Hiking on location in The Canary Islands, we get to know Jasmin more intimately. “I am proud of my strength to never give up,” says Jasmin, who prides herself on being very dedicated to her career. “My absolute passion is modeling. I love to slip into different personalities in front of the camera.” Jasmin would describe herself as active and adventurous. “The most adventurous thing I’ve ever done? I emigrated to Italy for a year when I was 18,” she shares. “I didn’t care what anyone said!” For Jasmin, doing what she wants on her own terms is empowering. “What does female empowerment look like to me? A woman [who] has the chance to realize herself and live out her desires,” she says thoughtfully.
This week, we’re bringing back some of our favorite pictorials from some fan-favorite International models. Look back on sets from Gena Miller, Marisa Ehret, Tia, Xris Kovtos, and Chloe Rose in this Editor’s Choice gallery and video.
Spend the day relaxing with International Playmate Alona Hertha in this spread as Miss September 2020 for Playboy Germany. Soaking up the sun and passing the time indoors, Alona poses for the photographer, Thomas Fiedler, as we get to know her better. “My mother comes from the Philippines, so I ha ve relatives there,” says Alona of her background. “I visit them as often as possible because family is the most important thing [to] me.” Alona also loves being outside enjoying the landscape when she visits the Philippines. “The islands and nature are beautiful,” she shares. “I recently got my diving license there.” For Alona, traveling is the biggest perk of her career. “I like to travel, and thanks to my job, I have lived and worked in many countries!”
Unwind as we welcome our December 2021 All Star, Julie Kay, to Playboy Plus! We’re excited to be closing out the year with Julie Kay as she spends the afternoon in bed in this debut pictorial produced by Ana Foxxx and shot by the photographer, JT. “Something people wouldn’t know about me at fi rst glance? I’m painfully shy,” admits Julie. “I’m a Pisces — a no-nonsense type of person. I [also] love helping people in any way I can.” Julie first discovered Playboy in her teens through magazines and TV and entered the adult industry in 2014. Since then, Julie’s career has been a thriving one. “What I love most about my job is the freedom and making my own schedule,” she shares. “To me, the Playboy brand brings classiness and sexiness together seamlessly. It means highlighting and showcasing women in all of their glory— in every way, not just in the nude.”
Take in the view from above with Elaina Vice. Returning for her second feature from the photographer, Tina Louise, Elaina is on set of a high-rise apartment overlooking the Miami skyline. “My passion is modeling,” she tells us mid-pose. “Modeling makes me feel sexy and confident. I feel like I can be anyone during a photoshoot.” A total go-getter, Elaina’s usually on a set sporting striking lingerie, crafting merchandise for her 1 million social media followers, or creating exclusive online content for her OnlyFans. “Some words I live by? Your reality is what you make it,” she shares. “I love my job mostly because of the amazing people I meet.” During her downtime, you can find Elaina curling up with a good read. “I’m a bookworm — always sneaking in a chapter [of] whatever new book I’m reading,” she says
Newcomer Roxy Ferrari gets in the holiday spirit in this festive debut by the photographer, Maddie Córdoba. Dressed in nothing but ribbon, Roxy has a blast on set as we learn more about her. “I’m a very positive person,” she says of her personality. “I love making others feel good about the mselves and making people smile. I’m also pretty silly.” As a working DJ, you can usually find Roxy at a venue spinning records. “I’ve had a passion for music and fashion since I was little,” she says. “Something I’m most proud of is making a living doing what I love.” We met Roxy through her photographer, Maddie. “My experience so far? It’s been so exciting! The day of the shoot was amazing. Everyone on set was professional and creative,” she shares. “I also love that the team was mostly female. Everyone made me feel super comfortable!” For Roxy, posing nude is a freeing feeling. “I think it’s beautiful. Posing nude is empowering,” she shares.
Since they were such a hit to begin with, we’re bringing back some of the most liked newcomer pictorials of the last year. Look back on debut sets from Emmi, Anna Lisa, Fernanda Pacheco, Marina Nelson, and Nigo in this week’s Editor’s Choice feature.
Get moving with Ana in this third gallery and video from the photographer, Henrik Pfeifer. Dancing her way through this feature, Ana allows us to get to know her more intimately. “I’m from Tulcea, a small town in southeastern Romania,” shares Ana. “What I love most about it is the wilderness — infinite lakes, rare flowers, fish— it feels like nature was born there.” A reflective person, Ana’s passions outside of modeling lie in human connection. “My special talent is making people open up,” she smiles. “I’m very proud of my overall evolution in my personal and professional life. I don’t think I’ve missed any chance to become a better person, [or] to improve the environments I’ve [been a part of].” When it comes to dating and relationships, Ana looks for someone who sees the world similarly.
Miranda’s passions and professions come together for this unique second feature from the photographer, Madeline Northway. Miranda shines in front of our cameras, wearing a burlesque costume and feather fans that she made herself. “My occupation? Burlesque showgirl, model and costumier,” shares Miranda. “I passionately believe that expressing my sexual identity through my performance, modeling, and costuming work, and owning and monetizing my image, is a feminist act.” Originally from England, Miranda tells us what she loves most about her hometown. “I’m one of those rare people who was actually born and raised in London,” she smiles. “I feel extremely lucky to have grown up in such a cosmopolitan city, full of art, culture, and history — it’s so varied, diverse, and constantly evolving.” Now based in Los Angeles, Miranda’s career is thriving, which is how we initially met — at a show!
Aubrey Destemps lets all her fans and followers know her long-lasting love for Playboy in this brand new pictorial from the photographer, Tina Louise. Aubrey brings together her two professions: modeling and tattooing on set of a chic home in Los Angeles, California. “I have a lot of hidden talent s,” laughs Aubrey. Dressed in all red, Aubrey takes us on a journey as she sketches a Playboy Bunny tattoo stencil and pastes it to her ankle. “My passion is creating a positive impact on the people around me. I’m very expressive of my feelings. I think that’s what makes me the great artist I am,” says Aubrey of her character. “As a tattoo artist, it is the most rewarding feeling making someone feel good about themselves.” For Aubrey, joining the Playboy community is special. “It’s an iconic brand, and to be a part of it is an honor to me, especially in these changing times of female empowerment and awakening,” she shares thoughtfully.
Junipr Keiko does a bit of self-pampering in this second gallery and video from the photographer, Tina Louise. Dressed in blue lingerie, Junipr heads to a luxurious bathroom to indulge herself on the set of a colorful home in California. “Some words I live by? Allow love to be your blueprint, and let light in whenever you can,” says Junipr thoughtfully. “It’s not always easy to remember this, and it’s even harder to choose it actively. I have found that leading with love is really the only way to exist peacefully with yourself and others in life.” When it comes to sex advice, Junipr dropped some knowledge on us. “When you sleep with someone, make sure they value you,” she urges. “Desire alone isn’t enough.” In her everyday life, when she’s not in front of a camera, Junipr tells us she finds giving love back to herself is the most rewarding feeling.
“Female empowerment is about being your authentic self unapologetically, regardless of the opinions of others,” shares Kayci Darko as she returns for this second feature from the photographer, Tina Louise. On location in Miami, Florida, Kayci comes alive among the lush palm trees. “My number o ne passion is dancing and performing,” shares Kayci. “I love getting to take on a different persona.” Tapping into that energy, Kayci gives a stunning performance as we get to know her more. “A little motto I tell myself is one I heard from my favorite model: ‘happy instead,’” smiles Kayci. “If something negative happens, I tell myself I can focus on this bad thing and be upset about it, or I can be positive and choose to be happy instead. It’s just a simple reminder to myself to see the silver lining in difficult situations.” When she’s not working, Kayci loves to be outside soaking up the sun or inside indulging herself with some R & R.
Follow us to the Southwest in this week’s Editor’s Choice gallery and video as we highlight models from this corner of the country. Look back on some of our favorite pictorials from Reed, Brett Barletta, Cecilia Lion, Natalie Mae, and Emilee Ann Miller.
Eliza Ibarra’s positive energy is infectious in this second feature as our November 2021 All Star. Dressed in white Playboy Bunny attire, Eliza poses for her close-up before a gray backdrop as the photographer, Maddie Córdoba, captures her. “There’s so much to laugh about,” shares Eliza whe n we asked about her sunny disposition. “I’m a light-hearted, optimistic person. More importantly, I’d describe myself as loving and nurturing.” For Eliza, life is about growth. “I’m passionate about becoming a better version of myself every day,” she shares. “Whether that’s finding new hobbies to include in [my] routine or doing more self-reflecting on life and what makes [me] happy.” When it comes to her career, being nude in front of cameras comes naturally for Eliza, and she shared that she’s proud of how much she’s accomplished in the industry in just a few years.
Have a drink in this brand new pictorial from Amelia as she returns for her second gallery and video from Point of Vue’s photography team. In Brooklyn, New York, Amelia sips on a cocktail as she spills more about herself. “My passion? Definitely music,” shares Amelia. “I played trumpet for 8 + years in school and was in a jazz band as well.” When we asked Amelia to tell us something surprising, she mentioned she loves to spend time outside when she’s not working or out and about in New York City. “People are always surprised when they learn how outdoorsy I am,” she laughs. “I love being in the wilderness and hiking! I find it’s when I’m happiest, [but] you would never guess that’s the case if you saw me out at a club in Manhattan with my hair, makeup, and nails done,” she adds with a laugh. When it comes to dating, Amelia’s love language is acts of service.
Take in the breathtaking landscape of Southern Spain with newcomer Sophia. On location in Granada, Sophia poses for the photographer, Henrik Pfeifer. “I’m really introverted and shy at first, but people that know me would say I’m crazy,” laughs Sophia. “I’m [the type] of person that when I know what I want, I don’t stop until I get it!” Dedicated to her artistry, Sophia is not only a model but a musician as well. “My passion? Singing. My dream is to become a singer,” she smiles. “I love music. In my spare time, I’m always making my own music and singing.” As far as her modeling career, Sophia has much experience in many different avenues of the industry but is finally happy to check Playboy off her list. “I think it’s just an honor to be a part of it,” she shares of her time on set. “I’m really blessed, and now I feel [even] more empowered!”

It’s our pleasure to welcome November All Star Eliza Ibarra to Playboy Plus! On a ranch in Los Angeles, California, Eliza rides into Playboy on horseback as the photographer, Maddie Córdoba, captures her. Originally from Riverside, California, we get to know Eliza more intimately. “It’s a sim ple town, but I’m thankful I grew up there because I think it contributed to me being more down-to-earth,” she says of herself. “What makes me, ‘me?’ I’m pretty light-hearted. I’d describe myself as goofy and silly— I don’t take many things too seriously; life is more enjoyable that way.” Eliza first discovered Playboy through the print publication. “I was snooping through a family member’s drawer with a friend, and we found a stack of magazines, a few of them being Playboys. We looked through them, and I was instantly enamored,” she shares. “I thought the girls were so beautiful, and I remember thinking, I want to do that one day.”
Newcomer Cami Strella has a sweet morning. On the set of a sunny apartment in Austin, Texas, this Virginia-born model indulges in coffee and donuts as Madeline Northway captures her. “What makes me ‘me?’ I’m the type of person that if I tell you I’m going to do something or be somewhere, I will move mountains if I need to,” shares Cami. “I take pride in being a woman of my word.” Cami is a model, philanthropist, and content creator. “I’m passionate about being a conscious creator that gives back to causes I care about,” she shares thoughtfully. When it comes to posing nude, Cami finds it as a way to connect with herself. “Intimacy is best when it is raw and uncensored,” she says. “Being nude allows me to see and feel myself for who I am without the disguise of clothes— it’s my most natural state.”
Travel south to Miami, the place where newcomer, Elaina Vice, calls home. Showing us outside, Elaina is more than comfortable in the afternoon heat as the photographer, Tina Louise, captures her. “I’m very generous, kind, and nerdy,” says Elaina of herself. “I love reading, spending time wit h my animals, and adventuring in nature anytime I can.” As far as passions go, for Elaina, you’re looking at it. “My passion is modeling,” she smiles. “Modeling makes me feel sexy and confident.

Unwinding hours begin as Ana return to Playboy Plus in this brand new feature from the photographer, Henrik Pfeifer. Dressed in chic business attire, Ana is just getting home, ready to begin her evening. “What do I love most about my job? The best thing is traveling all over the world, meeting a v ariety of people, and being treated with respect and admiration for my courage,” shares Ana. A full-time artistic model, Ana is proud to be collaborating with Playboy all the way from Romania. “Playboy has history,” begins Ana, “It’s a great way of reaching a wide audience of people who admire beauty, and hopefully, people who are eager to know what’s beneath a beautiful surface.” Ana hopes that her pictorials will challenge her viewers. “I am not just my body, so being here is my opportunity to share a very important message [with others]: go deeper; there is so much more to discover than [what’s] just in front of our eyes.” For Ana, modeling is also a feminist act.

It’s much easier for me to connect with new people through comedy than anything else.” Dressed in all red lingerie and cat ears, Blake radiates sensual energy only a night like Hallow’s Eve can provide. “Storytelling has always been my passion. I think it started when I was a kid in dance, [and was] learning how to tell the audience a story through movement,” says Blake. “The creative side of me is always being shown in my work.” As for being on set with us, Blake is proud. “My experience so far? It’s been amazing! Not everyone gets the opportunity to be a part of Playboy, so I’ll be telling my kids about this one day,” laughs Blake.
Hang out in the garden with newcomer Miranda, as the photographer Madeline Northway captures her. Dressed in bright blue lingerie, Miranda radiates a classic Playboy aesthetic and energy that is sure to transport you back a few decades. In Los Angeles, California, Miranda, originally from England, d oes what she loves the most: performing. “My passion? My job! I think every performer and audience member can remember precise moments when seeing a performance moved them, [or] made them see the world a little differently,” begins Miranda. “Knowing that what I do can do that for other people is the most amazing feeling.” Tending to her rose garden, Miranda tells us how comfortable she felt on set. “Madeline allowed me to be myself, so these photos feel very personal to me,” shares Miranda.

We get to know Aubrey better as she poses for our cameras on the location of a colorful home in Los Angeles, California. “I’m not afraid to speak my mind,” says Aubrey of what makes her, her. “Some people either love or hate me for that!” Aubrey is a model and tattoo artist in Los Angeles and has a deep appreciation for art in all forms. “I enjoy creating art and visuals, sketching tattoos for clients, and sewing,” she says. “I am passionate about whatever is in front of me. I take everything day by day.” We first met Aubrey back in 2020 where she shot a Halloween-themed look. Now, she’s glad to be back.

Does it get any better?” An artist and model from Riverside, California, Odette first caught sight of a Playboy magazine in her grandparents’ house. “They were big fans,” Odette tells us. “I grew up enamored with the spreads and comics. I was hoping to one day get this opportunity.” For Odette, modeling is an act that allows her to get in touch with herself. “Posing nude has been such a liberating and spiritual experience for me,” she begins, “I’ve learned a lot about myself while working with others.” When it comes to love, relationships and sex, Odette looks for someone understanding and self-assured. “I find confidence and an open, non-judgemental mind very sexy,” she says.
Have a beach day with the International model, Taylor Brumann from Switzerland. On location in Portugal, Taylor grabs her surfboard for her close-up with the photographer, Ana Dias. “My time on set? It was truly amazing,” begins Taylor, “really good energy. Ana and her team were so kind and fu nny! They make me feel very comfortable, and we laughed a lot.” An adventurous person, surfing the shores of Portugal, skydiving, or posing nude are all thrilling for Taylor. “I have no problem with [posing nude. If] I feel comfortable with my surroundings and the people I work with,” she says. In her free time, Taylor loves to discover new places and spend time with her loved ones. “I love traveling, walking, hanging out with my friends, being in nature, listening to good music, and drinking good wine.”
“I love that I can use my body as a vessel for my art to express myself completely,” says Maitland Ward, our October 2021 Celebrity All Star. Returning to Playboy for her second gallery and video, Maitland does what she loves the most for our production team, Jacky St. James and Mad Creative. Wh ile she is most known for her roles in popular television and film, Maitland finds her work in the adult industry has allowed her to be her most authentic self. “Nothing could be more adventurous for me than becoming a professional porn star,” she says. “I’m so proud of the work I’m able to do in all areas of my life now — especially because I was told I couldn’t or shouldn’t do any of it. I proved Hollywood wrong.” For Maitland, this work is close to the heart, liberating, and important. “Playboy is such an iconic brand that stands for the art and expression of the female form. To be a part of it is such a special thing for me,” she shares.
Enjoy nature’s stillness with Anna Lisa in this second pictorial shot by the photographer, Madeline Northway. Originally from Pheonix, Anna now lives in Los Angeles and admits sometimes she misses home. “I never quite appreciated the desert until I started traveling at 18,” she begins. “Now I find myself missing it. The smell of the wet sand during monsoon season holds a special place in my heart.” In California, Anna is surrounded by a different kind of natural beauty. “I love hiking in beautiful places and birdwatching,” she says of how she spends her spare time. “I love outdoor adventures.” When it comes to being nude on camera, Anna sees it as a beautiful way to connect with herself. “I’ve been able to cultivate a compassionate yet constructive relationship with myself,” she shares. “Posing nude has become second nature for me these days. There’s an art and beauty to it that’s naturally appreciated by many — it’s a lovely art form.”

Head to the desert with newcomer Junipr Keiko. On location in Joshua Tree, California, Junipr poses atop a single bed for the photographer, Tina Louise. “I’m soft-spoken and introverted. I believe softness is strength, and I lead with love in all that I do,” says Junipr of herself. A model and artist, Junipr gives whole self to the creative process. “My art is my passion and my one true love,” she begins. “Through the years, it’s taken many forms, but it’s always a reflection of my heart. It’s the only thing in this world that will ever wholly and completely be mine. Why wouldn’t I give it everything I have?” When it comes to posing nude, Junipr finds there’s so much beauty in showing up confidently and authentically herself. “This is the vessel that I’m fortunate enough to walk through life in, and I couldn’t be more proud of it,” she shares.
Get in the game with newcomer Amelia in this fun debut from the photography team, Point of Vue. On location of a court in New York City, Amelia takes shots as the camera captures her. “My experience has been incredible,” she reflects of her time on set. “Shooting felt more like hanging out wit h friends than it did work. I loved Point of Vue’s vision and artistic style. I think they were spot on in how they captured the Brooklyn aesthetic and vibe.” Totally in her element, Amelia tells us that it’s times like these where she truly feels in tune with herself. “When do I feel sexiest? At work when I’m in charge of myself and my body,” she says. “Posing nude [allows me] to connect with the sensual, erotic side of myself in a sort of sacred, self-love way.” For her, it’s also a means of empowerment.

Now I love my petite body. No body is perfect — it’s about feeling good about yourself, and when that feeling is real, it feels like pure freedom to pose nude.”

Travel” gushes Mia, who has done quite a bit of it. “When I was growing up in Guatemala, I used to lay on my back looking up at night, watching all the planes go by, and I would say to myself, ‘one day I’m going to be in one of those planes traveling the world.’ Now I’m doing it!” Mia lets us in on what she looks for when dating, too. “I’m not impressed with cocky or flashy men,” she says bluntly. “I look for a partner with a unique sense of style and world outlook.

While it may have been a bit since you’ve seen industry superstar Keisha Grey, we’re beyond thrilled to announce her as our July 2021 All Star! “I’m still active,” says Keisha to her devoted fans and followers. On location in her home state of Florida with the photographer, Jay Chu, Keisha dresses up (and down) for her closeup. “What I love most about my job is collaborating with other artists — the photographers, makeup artists, and directors,” she shares, “To come up with a look that we’re all imagining at the same time, and smash the shoot— it’s such a fulfilling feeling!” Commanding your attention, Keisha flows from pose to pose so effortlessly as we get to know her better. “I have a giant heart,” she shares of herself. “I come off like a tough girl sometimes, but I have so much love to give.” For Keisha, posing for Playboy has been a longtime goal. “I used to watch ‘The Girls Next Door,’ and from that moment, I [knew I] wanted to model for Playboy when I grew up,” she shares.
Party of one takes on a new meaning in this brand new pictorial from Minxie. Making her Playboy Muse debut with the photographer, Madeline Northway, Minxie has a blast on set as the cameras capture her. “What’s my passion? Entertaining people and making them forget their troubles, even if just f or a little while,” says the Dallas burlesque artist. “I’m fiery, passionate, and strong-willed, but also a sensitive creative.” For Minxie, living her best life is the most empowering act possible. “I feel empowered by embracing being a multifaceted woman living a beautiful life on my own terms,” she shares thoughtfully. When it comes to dating, Minxies tells us there’s no need for anything extravagant as long as she’s in good company. “I’m classic,” she says, “I like dinner and a movie!”
“It’s hard for me to hide who I am, so I don’t, and am 100 percent myself,” shares model, aerialist, and contortionist, Daisy Marchesi. Returning to Playboy for the first time since 2018, Daisy showcases one of her beloved passions as we get reacquainted. “I’m extremely passionate about my aerial training and contortion,” she says. Dressed in all white, floating gracefully through her hoop, the photographer, Damon Loble, captures Daisy in her element. “I am also passionate about modeling and love when I get to combine [the two].” Showing us all her moves, Daisy shares more about herself. “I’m originally from Zurich, Switzerland,” she says. “Something I’m most proud of? My ability to adapt. Moving to a different country and not knowing the language or culture forced me to easily adapt to different environments. Now, I can pretty much be anywhere and figure it out!” For Daisy, life is all about doing what you love fearlessly.

Indee d a nurturing individual, the ones closest to Nyla, are the most important in her life. “My passion is to care for my family, pets, and plants,” she shares. For this east coast native, being in touch with nature is essential. “I’m originally from Maryland,” she says. “What I love most about my hometown is the forests and greenery. I miss waking up to soft dewy grass and foggy skies.” Being in tune with her most authentic self is Nyla’s definition of living empowered. “Female empowerment to me looks like independence, self-love, and awareness,” she says. “I feel most empowered when I follow the path I choose to go [down] for me, and no one else!”
Get out of town with newcomer Meg Cyria in this debut pictorial from the photographer, Cassandra Keyes. On location in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, we get to know Meg as she poses for our cameras. “What makes me ‘me?’ I grew up with southern hospitality, so I’ve always been very inviting and empa thetic towards people,” she says of herself. “Being polite and kind is apparently not a common quality anymore,” Meg adds jokingly. A medical professional and model, Meg works as a TMS therapy tech. “My passion is mental health. I treat people for PTSD and depression,” she shares. When she’s not helping others, she’s in front of a camera. “I am so happy to finally be a part of the Playboy family,” says Meg. “It’s been a goal of mine my whole life! I love [posing nude]. I grew up super Christian and shamed for these things, [but] now, I love to feel free in front of the camera!”
Steph returns to Playboy Plus with this stunning pictorial shot by the photographer, Sophia Sinclair. On a weekend getaway, Steph spends the afternoon lounging around while reading vintage Playboy magazines. “I’m pretty chill,” says Steph of herself. “I have a good heart and good intentions — that’s my favorite thing about [myself].” Though she comes off as totally calm, cool, and collected, Steph let us in on a secret. “I have some gnarly stage fright,” she laughs. “My special talent? Definitely acting like I know what I’m doing.” While we think her modest, Steph moves about the cabin as we continue to get to know her a bit better. “I’m obsessed with true crime and conspiracy theory podcasts, documentaries, [and] Reddit threads,” she says of one of her guilty pleasures, “I’m not sure why it gives me such a rush!” When she’s not deep-diving on the internet, she keeps it low-key. “I like hanging out with my animals, rewatching my favorite TV shows, and having a cold beer.”
Celebrate the Fourth of July with Dominique Lobito in this festive pictorial from the photographer Sophie Sinclair. “I am big-hearted, loud, and silly,” says Dominique of herself as the camera begins to snap. “Most of all, I’m respectful and kind.” Wearing red, white, and blue, Dominique l ets her personality shine in her sexy yet playful poses. “My personal experience with Playboy thus far? Fantastic! I loved working with an all-female staff,” she shares. “Ladies need to stick together. Women should constantly be motivating each other — that is when I feel most empowered.” For Dominique, this gig is extra sweet. “I always fantasized about being a Playboy model,” she shares. “I have finally got to live through one of my lifetime goals!” When it comes to dating, she needs someone who can level with her. “Biggest turn on? Answering my sarcasm with sarcasm,” she laughs.
Spend the afternoon inside, getting to know our latest newcomer, Tia. Dressed in blue lace lingerie, Tia makes quite the debut as the photographer Henrik Pfeifer captures her. “I would describe myself as a very open, fun-loving, cheerful, and humorous person,” says Tia of her personality. “I l ove to laugh and make other people laugh too.” Self-assured, Tia wasn’t always the woman before you. “I used to be very shy,” she admits while moving from pose to pose. “Through modeling, I have become a tough, strong, and confident woman who knows exactly what she wants in life. It has made me the person I am today.” Tia can be found a little like this when she’s not working — spending intentional time at home or somewhere low-key. “I totally love spending my free time in nice, cozy cafes,” she says. “If you ask me if I prefer relaxed movie nights or party nights, I would go for the movie night — popcorn and nachos, and I’m happy!”
Please celebrate with us as we reach the end of June with Sophie Dee’s final All Star gallery and video from Ashlee Krutzfeldt. Sophie spends a luxurious evening dressed in jewels with a bottle of champagne as the camera snaps away. “It’s been amazing,” says Sophie of her experience on set. Though she admits she can be pretty shy in the shooting process, the reward is always worth it in the end. “I enjoy [posing nude]. I am always excited when I see the outcome.” For Sophie, it’s times like this where she can step into her confidence. “When do I feel the sexiest? Sometimes when I have no makeup [on], and you can see my freckles, or sometimes right after getting glammed for a shoot,” she says. “[They] are opposites, but both sides work well for me.” Usually traveling, Sophie loves the flexibility of her work the most. “What I love most about my job is that I can typically work from anywhere,” she says of her content creation. “[Also], all the interesting people I meet.”
Natalie Mae returns to Playboy Plus with this energetic second gallery and video from the photographer, Damon Loble. Dressed in bright blue workout gear, Natalie shows us her moves. “I’m never not moving,” she laughs of herself. “People often call me the Energizer Bunny because of my seeming ly endless energy.” Both of Natalie’s Playboy pictorials have centered around her biggest passion. “Health is number one because, without it, life is either miserable or non-existent,” she says. “I’m passionate about staying active and being outdoors, as well as partaking in many self-care practices to balance the mind, body, and soul.” For Natalie, posing nude has given her a deep sense of confidence. “I feel so empowered now that I model. Every single time I shoot or see my work somewhere, I stop in awe,” she shares. “I love posing nude because this practice is what began my journey into self-healing from a very broken mentality of what my body looked like and had to offer this world.”

I feel like it is such a gift to be alive, and I want to enjoy that gift to the fullest.” Mia is totally in her element, dressed in neon lingerie with vibrant makeup and flashing lights surrounding her. “I had such a blast,” she says of her time on set. “Playboy is a worldwide brand, so even growing up in Guatemala, I knew of it. I’ve always known Playboy to be a place where the world’s most beautiful women are featured and now to be a small part of that history feels amazing.”

I’m a major homebody.” A professional model since she was a teen, Brookliyn is very comfortable on set. “I’ve really grown to love my entire body as I’ve gotten older.

Dressed in all black lace, a red lip, and high heels, Sophie is on the set of a classic mansion in Los Angeles, California, as she poses for the cameras. “Something people wouldn’t know about me at first glance? I am extremely shy,” admits Sophie. “I enjoy [posing nude]. I can be super shy in the process of shooting photos, but I am always excited when I see the outcome.” Originally from Wales, UK, Sophie discovered Playboy when she first came to the US. “I was obsessed when I came to the States and always wanted to be in it and attend the events,” says Sophie. “My experience thus far?

As if she had just left the stage, Ora cranks the music on set — totally in her element. “Today’s shoot was amazing.” When she’s not working, Ora loves to lay low and watch classic films. “Favorite food? Doesn’t everybody say pizza? I could eat that any day,” she laughs. “Movie-wise I, enjoy old black and white movies — anything with Audrey Hepburn in it!”

My passion is creating art,” says Polina. “It’s so fun to work with like-minded people [and] see the whole creative process come together.” For Polina, posing for Playboy was just that. “I love that the whole team for my photoshoot was women. It was such a comfortable and empowering experience,” she says. “Female empowerment means truly supporting one another. I’m most proud of how far I’ve come in my journey and how many goals I’ve been able to reach, especially working with Playboy.” When it comes to dating, a chill night at the movies or a nice dinner is something Polina is into. “I’m a sucker for a good meal and a nice view,” she tells us.

LA doesn’t have too much of that, but we have palm trees, so I’ll survive,” she adds with a laugh. A full-time model, Hannah is serious about her career but loves to have fun doing what she loves. “Anyone who knows me well would say I’m goofy and free-spirited,” she says. “Art is my passion. I’m exploring new mediums — I try to have fun with whatever I’m doing.” For Hannah, posing for Playboy is something that aligns with her values. “Playboy is a daredevil of a brand, and that’s something that really resonates with me,” she says. “I’m honored and thrilled to be a part of it!”
Rise to new heights with newcomer Xris Kovtos, a model and fashion designer from Preveza, Greece. On location of a high-rise apartment overlooking Vancouver, Xris poses for the photographer, Georgia Love, as we get to know more about her. “One of my best qualities is the ability to empathize with everyone I meet,” says Xris. “People don’t realize this about me at first glance but easily open up to me once they talk to me.” Dressed in all-black lingerie, Xris is relatively new to modeling but totally in her element. “The first time I understood what Playboy was, was in high school. We had a grad from my high school who became a Playboy model,” shares Xris. “I didn’t think I would ever have the potential to be a model. It serves as a good reminder that I shouldn’t doubt myself or my potential.” Now, Xris is proud to be on set with us. “It feels very special to be a part of a brand with such a legendary legacy,” she smiles.

I could choose a hundred different nude poses, and they’ll all have different energies.” For Nyla, being one with her surroundings is essential. “What makes me ‘me’ is my ability to understand living things and maintain value for an earthly, humane lifestyle.” Needless to say, Nyla loves to be in nature. “My superpower would be shapeshifting,” she says. “I would like to turn into various animals and see through their perspective!”

I’m often out and about for my photoshoots, so I don’t have much free time,” she says. “Also, I study between jobs. My professional goal is to become a psychotherapist.”
“Some words I live by? ‘Be the energy you want to receive,’” says Emma Jade.

I was blessed to work with an amazing and beautiful team of women.” For Emma, working with and uplifting other women is essential to her own empowerment. “Female empowerment means focusing on the strong bond between us rather than seeing each other as competition,” she says thoughtfully. “I feel most empowered when I’m able to help others see the light they have within them and realize what they have is a gift to the world.” When it comes to dating, Emma loves something low-key. “The perfect date? Lighting a joint, driving to the beach, and looking at the stars,” she says.

That’s why in this special pictorial, we’ve combined many of Chloe’s interests into one. “I like to meditate. It makes me feel good,” she shares of how she spends her free time. “I [also] like to paint, exercise or go outdoors — it gives me a sense of joy inside.”

Dressed in all red, Jane hangs out poolside on the set of a beautiful home in Los Angeles, California, as Mad Creativity and Jacky St. James capture her. “Something people wouldn’t know about me at first glance? A lot of things, but I guess the main thing would be my love of acting,” shares Jane. “I wanted to be an actress since I was very young; I thought I was going to pursue it professionally. Life took me down a different path, but I still get to do a lot of acting in my regular work, so that makes me happy!” Jane first encountered Playboy when she was younger. “It must’ve been watching ‘The Girls Next Door,’” she reminisces. “It feels great to be a part of Playboy. I got to work with such an amazing crew of talented people.” When Jane isn’t working, you can usually find her spending her time doing what she loves the most.

I prefer to do chill things rather than go out.” When she does have downtown like this, she loves to hang out with a good book. “I’m an avid reader,” she says. “I have a book with me at all times.

"I put my body through a lot too, so I started to appreciate [it] in other ways— like gaining strength and muscle that I didn't know would even be possible!" When she's not working, Polina is staying creative in different ways. "My favorite thing to do is to go thrifting and hunt for designer and vintage pieces for my collection," she says.
