''Playboy'' '''Videos''' are videos released by ''Playboy'' '''Enterprises, Inc.''', the publishers of '' Playboy '' magazine. The first videos were titled “''Playboy'' Video Magazine” and 12 volumes were produced during the years 1982–1987. They borrowed the format of the magazine itself and included interviews, essays, journalism, and pictorials of beautiful women. CALENDARS In 1987 the magazine format was dropped and replaced by the video Playmate calendar series which focused on the playmates themselves and did not try to imitate the content of the magazine. Although the months assigned to the playmates in the videos are not the same as the months in which they appear in the magazine, all playmates since 1987 have appeared in a playmate video calendar. Playmates of the year have also appeared in a special video profile dedicated just to themselves. Each video begins with Neil Ross, the narrator for most of ''Playboy'''s productions, saying: :“Since 1958 ''Playboy'' calendars have been prized collector's items. Over the years Playmates have appeared in this favorite form of Pinup art. Now for your home viewing pleasure, ''Playboy'' continues this tradition, as the playmates come alive in this edition of the Playmate video calendar.” The video profile of a playmate is shot at the same time that her magazine centerfold and pictorial are photographed. These usually consist of three or four vignettes reflecting the personality and persona of the playmate and an interview is also conducted at the same time to serve as in introduction to her viewers. Two of the vignettes are then chosen to be included as part of her video playmate profile. The very first playmate to appear in a playmate video calendar was Cherie Witter , Miss January 1987. In the early video playmate calendars, a significant amount of time was given to each playmate to introduce herself. Two or three minutes were spent on describing her aspirations and common to all the playmate profiles was the sense of optimism. PLAYMATE OF THE YEAR VIDEO CENTERFOLDS in an interview on her PMOY video]] Every year, a Playmate of the Year (or PMOY) is chosen by ''Playboy'' magazine. At the same time that the chosen PMOY has her centerfold taken, a video is filmed to commemorate the occasion. The scenes in the video are filmed in the same style as the calendar profiles and include interviews not only with the Playmate herself but also sometimes her family and the photographers who shot the pictorials. In a rare appearance in front of the camera, Pompeo Posar , who was a ''Playboy'' photographer for more than 36 years and took more than 75 centerfolds for the magazine, appeared in Jenny McCarthy 's PMOY video centerfold In Karen McDougal 's 1998 PMOY video centerfold, a segment was presented in the Pop-up Video format made popular by VH1 at the time. McDougal is the only Playmate to have a video segment presented in such format to date (2006). SEXY LINGERIE SERIES In '' Playboy '''s 1988 ''Sexy Lingerie'', the narrator introduces the premise behind the video which was to be explored in 5 further titles in the series: :“… Lingerie comes in a Rainbow of colors, materials, and designs, each with a mood of its own. What is it about these wisps of fabric that can make them even more arousing than total nudity? Perhaps the secret lies in what lingerie conceals as well as reveals, exciting the imagination and appealing to the greatest Erogenous Zone of all—the Mind …” The first video in the series could be seen as a sketchy history of lingerie. From a brief dictionary definition of lingerie given in the introduction it proceeds to examine what makes lingerie so alluring to both men and women. ''Sexy Lingerie II–VI'' continued where the first video left off. In the earlier titles of the series playmates were shown in static poses which, although artistic, tended to make them appear distant. However, in later titles, the Playmates were allowed to be more fluid, such as showing them walking a cat walk or dancing. A final video called ''Club Lingerie'' was produced in 1999 which, although not matching in title to other videos in the series, had much of the same content. ___ WET & WILD SERIES '' model pouring champagne over her body in the ''Fantasy: Liquid Sensations'' sequence of the first video in the ''Wet and Wild'' series.]] The series ''Wet and Wild'', which devoted much of its time to showing the playmates in various liquid environments, was released in 1989. ''Playboy'' produced a further 9 videos which formed the ''Wet & Wild'' series. Although the majority of sequences in the early videos of the series maintained a sense of depicting the Female Figure as a works of Art , some sequences could be described as being risqué. ''Wet and Wild IV'' showed an unusual development by Playboy. One scene depicts Tanya Beyer taking part in a simulated sex scene — a departure for Playboy as in all videos up to this point playmates had only been involved in activities which were seemingly unrelated to Sexual Activity . But even here the scene was relatively tame in comparison to some scenes in mainstream Hollywood films such as '' Showgirls '' or '' Wild Things ''. Volumes VI to IX were based loosely on several different themes including the women's ''). The final video in the series, Wet And Wild Live! Backstage Pass , was released in 2002.
