This video includes some of the best Playmates of the 90's. They include Jenny McCarthy, Carrie Westcott, Shae Marks, Neriah Davis, and Julianna Young (little-known BUSTY Playmate). While both Marks and Westcott are shown in their "pre-implant" days, they are still beautiful. The Julianna Young (38DD-21-34) segment alone makes this video a must-have.

This was a stupendously boring collection, not because of the babes on display -- when naked, Becky Delossantos and Jennifer Lavoie for instance, are some of the best looking specimens ever uncovered by Playboy -- but, because the scenarios were so timid. This one might be enough to do it at an old folks home, but for a full-blooded young guy, it's a pass. The above mentioned girls, Becky was wasted in a too-arty video clips that didn't show us nearly enough of her smokin' curves, and Jennifer Lavoie's gymnastics scene was a great idea (naked babes flipping, bending and flexing always is!), but a lousy execution that hid more than it showed.

This review is for those who want to know more about the video after reading earlier submitted reviews. Yes, those blondes that Playboy always seem to put in their magazine are prevalent, but there's more to see here. I was extremely bored with the segments of Jenny McCarthy, Shae Marks and Julie Cialini. They appear in better videos released later by Playboy. The real treasures here are the Non-blondes: Becky DelosSantos, Jennifer Lavoie and Especially Elan Carter. Elan is one of the few Black females to ever grace the centerfold of Playboy. Just imagine Jayne Kennedy (from the 70's era) and that is how attractive Elan Carter is. There aren't any implants there and she is very playful during her 4-minute segment (clothed for about 30 sec.). Becky is also very sexy as the 1st Playmate appearing on the video. You'll want to pull out her issue of Playboy after seeing this pictoral, just to hang the centerfold on the wall. Jennifer is also very beautiful. Elan's segment follows Jennifer's and then you can stop the DVD before it continues into Shae and Julie's segments. The final 15 minutes are a waste of time! Just Remember: ELAN CARTER, JENNIFER LAVOIE and BECKY DELOSSANTOS.

Blondes. Natural blondes, bleached blonds, honey blonds, dirty blondes. 8 of the 12 Playmates are blondes. They come in all sizes, from the pre-silicone Carrie Westcott and Shae Marks, and petite Elke Jeinsen, to the 1994 Playmate of the Year Jenny McCarthy and 1995 Playmate of the Year Julie Ciliani, to the more busty Neriah Davis and Anna Marie Goddard, to the extremely busty Julianna Young.

This is your standard fare Video Calendar, one of the first Playboy DVDs, meaning there are no animated menus nor trailers nor bonus features. Each Playmate only gets about 4-5 minutes of screentime. There aren't many creative angles like the extreme closeups that we've seen in the more recent Video Calendars, and the video quality isn't very sharp in certain scenes, which is normal in the Image releases of Playboy DVDs.

On the plus side, there were a couple of scenes worth mentioning, as the hottest of all Playmates was brunette Jennifer Lavoie in an athletic display of gymnastics before she strips down. I also noticed for the first time Arlene Baxter, who has never appeared in any other Playboy DVD or video, so it was a treat to notice this hottie. On the negative, Jenny McCarthy doesn't get as much screentime as you would expect the Playmate of the Year to get, and she remains clothed about half of the time. Total time Jenny is in the buff: 2 minutes, 30 seconds.

If you're a fan of any of the particular Playmates, this is a recommended DVD. Otherwise, stick to the newer 2000 and 2001 Video Calendars for sharper video quality and 80+ minute lengths.

Playboy 1995 Video Playmate Calendar is 57 minutes long and was released on video on November 16, 1994. The 1994 video calendar has a little more nudity then those that I have rated in the past, still a few of the Playmates are conservative in show their bodies like Shae Marks. Also the video calendar goes by the month the Playmates appear and not by the month that they were featured in the magazine.

Becky DelosSantos\Miss January-Brief nudity and topless scenes and more nudity at the end of segment one. Skin shots with Becky flashing her breast and a full nudity shot of her at the end of segment two.
Arlene Baxter\Miss February-full nudity in both segments, but must wait a few moments.
Julianna Young\Miss March-A few shots of full nudity and breasts in segment one and the breasts look fake. There is some more nudity in segment two.
Elke Jeinsen\Miss April-Elke is nude about 50% of the time in segment one and mainly clothed in segment two with a few moments of nudity.
Anna-Marie Goddard\Miss May (40th Anniversary Playmate)-About a minutes into segment one, Anna-Marie is fully nude. She is never really fully nude in segment two.
Jenny McCarthy\Miss June (Playmate of the Year-1994)-A little nudity in segment one and a little more in segment two.
Neriah Davis\Miss July-Neriah is nude about 15% of the time in segment one and about 60% of the time in segment two.
Jennifer Lavoie\Miss August-Most of the time Jennifer is fully nude in the gym segment and segment two as well.
Elan Carter\Miss September-Jull nudity in segment one and Elan is nude most of the time in segment.
Shae Marks\Miss October-Brief nudity and topless scenes in segment one and two.
Julie Lynn Cialini\Miss November (Playmate of the Year in 1995)-Full nudity towards the end of segment one and a little nudity in segment two.
Carrie Westcott\Miss December-Carrie is shown nude 35% of the time in segment one and all the time in segment two.

This video seems to be of a little bit higher standard in nudity where past video calendars have failed. Playboy 1995 Video Playmate Calendar gets a B.
