All signs point to Hef taking in Kristina and Karissa Shannon, two blonde sisters who fit definitely fit his mold (and would not be the first set of twins to call him their man. What were their names again?) Little is known about these girls or how long it will take before they get the cover of Playboy, but a OneModelPlace profile attached to a search of their names seems to be conspicuously missing now.

You know, it's a little sad that three women who only wanted to find love and maybe a career on the fringe of the entertainment industry couldn't simultaneously make it work with a man who is old enough to be their grandfather, but perhaps the Shannon Twins will find a way to overcome all obstacles. After all, publicity is a many-splendored thing.

Sure, we've drooled over our fair share of eBay items before here on Fleshbot, but our collective glands are working overtime today after peeping this rather astounding one-of-a-kind collection of goodies related to Playboy's legendary 1970 "Big Bunny" DC-9 aircraft. Described in press materials at the time of its inaugural flight as "Hef's sky-high hutch" and "a floating bachelor pad", the "Big Bunny" was the ultimate in sexy jet-set fabulosity ... and now you have a chance to own the actual fiberglass panels from the original model of Hef's private quarters on the plane as well as a pile of ephemera related to the project (even if you'll have to go to London to pick them up if you're the lucky high bidder). As far as we're concerned, though, all those prototype stewardess uniforms would be worth the reserve price alone for the chance to make all our grooviest flight attendant cosplay parties something really special.

Of course, the interweb has made it easy for any connoisseur of vintage Playboy spreads to amass a top-notch photography collection that's only limited by the amount of free space on a hard drive. But for those collectors who want something a little more permanent—and have several thousand dollars to spare—Hef and company introduced the Playboy Legacy Collection at the Cannes International Film Festival last week. The collection consists of 48 gallery-quality images representing the "visual history and impact of the magazine" from Tom Kelley's classic 1953 shot of Marilyn Monroe to Pamela Anderson as seen by David LaChapelle and are available individually, in three 16-photo sets, or as one 48-piece Gold Edition which also includes five music CDs, a DVD set, a book, a replica of an original Playboy Club key, and an invitation to an exclusive weekend party at the Playboy Mansion to celebrate the launch of the collection ... all for the low price of $85,000. (Which means that we'll be able to afford a copy circa 2148, given our current rate of savings and assuming they'll be any copies left by then. In the meantime, though, there's still the interweb.)

Congratulations are in order for Sara Jean Underwood, who has just been crowned Playboy's Playmate of the Year for 2007. Congratulations are also in order for her fellow Oregon State University students, since there aren't many college kids out there who can say they have chemistry (class) with a reigning Playmate . Of course, Miss July 2006 has probably missed a lot of classes over the last few months, what with all the mansion parties and TV appearances and basically being occupied by her Bunny-ly duties. (Look for her at the Kentucky Derby this weekend!) Hugh Hefner says she fits the bill that hasn't changed even after all these years: the elusive "girl next door" look. We've never seen any of our neighbors quite this naked, but perhaps we could ask to borrow a cup of sugar anyway. (Oh, and did we mention she's really good with pussies, too?)

There have been notable exceptions, like Jesse Jane and Kirsten Price, but the rule is that Playboy and porn don't mix; one can't get to Hef's Holmby Hills hideaway via a dirt pipe milkshake. That will change this weekend, being for the benefit of Nicki Hunter. And Fleshbot will be there!

(The above is my favorite Nicki Hunter picture; when she gets on a set she can be delightfully evil.)

As part of the continuing effort to defray the cost of the sweet Nicki Hunter's cancer treatments, she and several Porn Valley friends will be hosting part of this Saturday's Kiss And Tell Party, doubtless providing some eye candy to the retired and current NFL players who will also be in attendance. The annual event will be the first shindig ever at the Playboy Mansion to be open to any adult member of the general public with the cash for a ticket ... even you!

100% of the proceeds raised from their charity DVD and picture autograph signings, photo-ops, and lap dances will go to the Hunter CARE Foundation, as well as Nicki's treatment and family support as she undergoes radical chemotherapy treatments in her battle against lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma.

Yes, I said lap dances. The juicy Trina Michaels, Alana Evans, Amber Peach, Jada Fire, Tera Wray, Kylie Worthy, and Veronica Rayne will be on pocket duty, and there will also be a reunion of the cast of "Family Business" on the peacocked grounds, featuring Cousin Stevie, Seymore Butts, and Mari Possa.
