The Playmate Video Calendar Collection was first introduced in the early 1990s, as a spin-off of the popular Playboy magazine. The collection featured a series of VHS tapes, later transitioning to DVDs and digital formats, showcasing a year's worth of Playmates, each representing a month of the calendar year. The collection was designed to provide an intimate and exclusive look at the lives of these stunning models, often referred to as "Playmates," offering a more personal and revealing side of these iconic women.
