Stagg Party

When our models team up with photographer Ellen Stagg, they produce steamy erotic pictorials for Penthouse. Recently, they also made art. March 2010 Pet Jelena Jensen, October 2009 Pet Ryan Keely, October 2008 Pet Justene Jaro, 2008 Pet of the Year Runner-Up Justine Joli, 2007 Pet of the Year Heather Vandeven, 2007 Pet of the Year Runner-Up Krista Ayne, and September 2000 Pet Aria Giovanni are captured in all their glory in Ellen’s new coffee-table book, and displayed their assets in her solo gallery show, as did Penthouse models Jade Vixen, Darenzia, and Mia Presley.
Justine Joli was thrilled to be selected as cover girl for Ellen’s first book: “I was so honored when I found out. I wasn’t expecting it, and I was dumbfounded. It’s so sweet of her to include me like that, and I feel inspired to do even better work.”
The Pets and Penthouse models were prominently featured in Ellen’s exhibit at Fuse Gallery in New York City, “Melting Flesh.” The show featured multiple-exposure images produced with a Holga, an inexpensive plastic film camera notorious for leaking light. While abstract, the photos are still arousing, and they captivated the opening-night crowd. “Ellen’s art reaches a broad audience,” Justine says, “and the opening for her show proved that. The crowd was hot as hell, and everyone from cool hipsters to men in suits to little old ladies came by to check out her work.”
The models were also enthralled with the artist. “I always love shooting with female photographers because I feel they bring a more feminine touch to the finished product,” Jelena says. “And I love shooting with Ellen specifically because of how easy she is to work with. Her photos always have such a unique look.”
Heather agrees, saying, “Ellen’s shoots are really casual, but she still gets incredible photos because she knows what she wants. As a New Yorker, she knows how to be edgy but erotic, and she’s always a step ahead of everyone else.”
Ellen was equally appreciative of our ladies. “I love working with the Penthouse models,” Ellen tells us. “They’re all so sexy and professional. Every one of them has been great to work with. They know their bodies so well, and they just ooze sex appeal. I’m lucky to know such hot women and to be able to shoot them naked!”

Penthouse Super Soiree

The 2010 Penthouse Superparty at Passions Nightclub in Hollywood, Florida, was hosted by 20 luscious Pets, making it our biggest and best Super Bowl–weekend gala yet.
Our 2010 Pet of the Year, Taylor Vixen, and her partner in crime, Runner-Up Veronica Ricci, were the de facto leaders of the pack of Pets, which included familiar faces—Aria Giovanni (September 2000), Ashley Roberts (December 2004), and Prinzzess (October 2004)—as well as brand-new Pets Jessica Wilson (January 2010), Heidi Baron (February 2010), and Jelena Jensen (March 2010). Jelena’s issue had not even hit newsstands at the time, but she was thrilled to represent, saying, “It’s great to kick off my Penthouse Pet status with these ladies. I’ve been wishing to be a part of this family for such a long time, and everyone has been very warm and welcoming.”
Meanwhile, Taylor couldn’t keep her hands off Jelena’s impressive curves. “I don’t think I can even wait to shoot together with Jelena,” Taylor said. “I want to have her now.” And the secret is out: We’re sure all their fans will be anxious for these two naturally busty brunettes to come together for a Penthouse video, not to mention a magazine layout.
The Pets were shuttled to all the weekend’s activities and events on the Penthouse Party Bus, and Wisconsin cutie Charlie Laine (February 2006) took over the driver’s microphone to emcee a rousing game of Show Your Tits. After Charlie introduced each Pet, she would begin a “show your tits” chant until the Pet in question complied—and of course she always did. Happily, despite the tantalizing sights tempting the bus driver to turn his attention away from the road, the girls got to their destinations safe and sound. “The Penthouse Super Bowl celebration has always meant fun and crazy games for me,” explained Charlie. “But it’s also our annual reunion. It’s the only time I can see this many of the girls at once. It’s great!”
The party itself surpassed the Pets’ expectations … once they finally got inside. The ladies spent more than half an hour on the red carpet getting their photos taken. “I’m pretty sure that takes a long time because we always do dirty things to each other when we’re on the ‘Step and Repeat,’ ” said Jennifer Emerson (March 2006). Jennifer spent the better part of the evening playfully accosting every Pet she could get her hands on: “I just enjoy sticking my fingers where they don’t belong.”
The Pets also spent a lot of time on the dance floor, and when the band LMFAO performed, several Pets—including Aria and Shay Laren (June 2006)—danced onstage with the band. “Penthouse Pets and rock bands have always gone hand in hand,” said Aria, who had a great time shaking her moneymaker and smoking a cigar. The lucky band members partied after their set with Aria, Shay, and 2007 Pet of the Year Heather Vandeven.
There were different degrees of access at the multileveled Passions, but one common characteristic of Penthouse Pets is that they love meeting the magazine’s readers. There was no way these lovely ladies were going to hide out in a VIP area. The Pets covered all areas of the club throughout the night, meeting and partying with all the fans who came to meet them—along with porn star Savanna Samson and sultry 1995 Pet of the Year Gina LaMarca, who now works behind the camera as a makeup artist and stylist.
Each year, the Penthouse Superparty makes an even bigger splash, so you might want to start planning an early February 2011 trip to Dallas to party with the Pets.
iPorn

When Apple approved the first iPhone application for a male porn star last year, we knew it wouldn’t be long before the ladies caught up.
It came as no surprise to us that the first femmes to take advantage of the new iPhone app technology were Penthouse Pets. The cutting-edge ladies were led by 2003 Pet of the Year Sunny Leone, the first female porn star to get the okay. September 2000 Pet Aria Giovanni and January 2009 Pet Teagan Presley followed shortly after, with 2009 Pet of the Year Runner-Up Shawna Lenee and September 2008 Pet Kayden Kross being the latest to make their debuts.
The apps give fans 24/7 access to photo and video galleries of the stars in their sexiest lingerie and bikinis (Apple won’t allow nude photos yet), as well as blogs, candid shots in everyday gear, and appearance updates—all for no more than $1.99 each. Sunny and Shawna even have softer versions that are free. “I’m so excited about the future of my iPhone app,” Sunny says. “This provides an entirely new way for me to communicate with my fans and give them a new and unique content experience.”
Teagan’s app, appropriately named iTeagan, will also include an audio message from the star and her Twitter feed, and all photos and videos will be updated automatically … and frequently. “My fans are demanding, and they demand the best,” Teagan explains.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect reason to get an iPhone or iPod Touch, your wait is over.
