Playboy Playmate
A Playmate is a female model featured in the centerfold/gatefold of ''Playboy'' magazine as Playmate of the Month (PMOTM). The PMOTM's pictorial includes nude photographs and a centerfold poster, along with a pictorial biography and the "Playmate Data Sheet", which lists her birthdate, measurements, turn-ons, and turn-offs. At the end of the year, one of the 12 Playmates of the Month is named Playmate of the Year (PMOTY). Every Playmate of the Month is awarded a prize of US$25,000 and each Playmate of the Year receives an additional prize of US$100,000 plus a car (specifically, a short-term lease of a car) and other discretionary gifts. In addition, Anniversary Playmates are usually chosen to celebrate a milestone year of the magazine. The use of the word "Playmate" in a sexual sense did not originate with Playboy, and was seen at least as early as 1950 in Vue magazine (vol 1, #1). ''Playboy'' encourages potential Playmates to send photos with " girl next door" appeal for co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Playmates (album)
''Playmates'' is the fourth studio album, and the first during their reunion, by English rock band the Small Faces. The album was created by Steve Marriott, Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones and Rick Wills when they reformed in the late seventies and recorded it along with the album ''78 in the Shade''. Ronnie Lane left before the album was recorded. Reunion: 1975–1978 Following the break-up of Faces in 1975, the original Small Faces line-up reformed briefly to film videos miming to the reissued "Itchycoo Park", which hit the charts again. The group tried recording together again but Lane left after the first rehearsal due to an argument. Unbeknownst to the others, he was just beginning to show the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, and his behaviour was misinterpreted by Marriott and the others as a drunken tantrum. Lane subsequently began recording '' Rough Mix'' with the Who's Pete Townshend shortly after the argument. Nevertheless, McLagan, Jones and Marriott decided to stay togeth ...

Playmates (song)
"Playmates" is a popular song ostensibly written by Saxie Dowell. The main theme was note-for-note plagiarized from the 1904 intermezzo "Iola" by Charles L. Johnson, for which Johnson sued, settling out of court for an undisclosed sum. Recordings in 1940 were made by Kay Kyser and his orchestra (vocals: Sully Mason & His Playmates), by Mitchell Ayres and His Fashions In Music (vocals: Mary Ann Mercer & Tommy Taylor), and by Hal Kemp and the Smoothies. The Johnny McGee orchestra also recorded it in February 1940 with the vocal done by Harry Garret (actually Harry Garey) and Carol Anderson. Harry's name was misspelled on the Varsity label. The Kay Kyser recording was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 35375. The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on July 20, 1940 (the first week that Billboard listed a chart) and lasted one week on the chart, peaking at number four. The song was revived in a 1953 recording by Jimmy Boyd, and then again in a 195 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
