Posing for Playboy (Patreon)

Alex let out a sigh as she was escorted to the dressing room by one of the production assistants on the photoshoot set. Alex Marx the Spot, the international pop sensation had agreed to be a part of Playboy magazine’s last physical print issue. Under any other circumstances, Alex’s publicist would never even consider letting the tigress appear on the cover and in the world’s most famous nudie mag. But since this was going to be the last issue, and Alex wouldn’t be required to do any nudity, Playboy just wanted to photograph her in a Playboy Bunny outfit, paying homage to 67 years of the magazine being printed and published. 

“If you do this, you’ll be known as the last person to be on the cover of a printed Playboy issue, Marilyn Mongoose being the first, and you, Alex Marx the Spot, being the last..” said her publicist excitedly when she called to ask if Alex wanted in. Naturally, Alex agreed, and now here she was, slipping herself into a sparkly purple leotard that clung to her fur and form with a slight tightness that showed off the small details along her figure. She had some help getting into the leotard, two people from the costume department made sure that the outfit they had prepared was impeccable for the shoot. Once the back of the leotard was zipped up and fitted to Alex’s figure, one of them moved to put the large bunny ears on the tiger’s head. Once the matching purple bunny ears were on her head, Alex smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She knew one particular bunny was either going to be ecstatic about seeing her dressed like this, or be super-duper offended by it. Alex hoped it would be the former, though. 

One of the costume designers moved to tie a collar with a bowtie on the front around the tiger’s neck, while the other quickly shifted over to gently grab Alex’s wrists and put some white sleeveless cuffs on them. It all happened so fast that Alex was left blinking with slight confusion when the two ladies took a few steps back and brushed their hands together. “And you are all done, Miss Marx, we’ll come back and get you when the set is all ready,” said one of the costume staff while the other nodded rapidly.

“Okay, thank you so much,” Alex smiled to the two as they walked towards the door and left the room. The tigress continued to look at herself in the oversized wall-length mirror that was installed in that dressing room. Alex had done Vogue and a dozen of other fashion magazine photoshoots, but none of them had a mirror in the dressing room this big. Her green eyes scanned up and down the ten-foot mirror a few times before she decided to look at what kind of outfit those two girls had gotten her into. She ran her fingers over that shiny purple latex that clung tightly to her body. It was almost too tight, but the people over at Playboy seemed to know what they were doing. The size was perfect to make Alex look incredible in it while also being reasonably comfortable for her to move around in or to wear for prolonged periods. She played with her hair while she looked at herself in the mirror and her tail swished and swayed around behind her with a hint of playfulness. She couldn’t help but smile at what she thought was a beautiful tigress smiling right back at her. Cats are kind of narcissistic, aren’t they?

Alex was left on her own in the dressing room for around twenty minutes or so, she paced around, did silly poses for herself in the mirror, and ran her hands through her hair a few times. She liked the look of the Playboy bunny outfit; she especially loved the little fuzzy bunny tail sewn onto the leotard as part of the look. When the two costume department ladies from earlier came back to get Alex and walk her to set, they caught her in the middle of a hopping session where she was very clearly pretending to be a tall and striped bunny. Alex looked mortified at the door when it swung open and tried to play it cool and pretend that she was jumping up and down out of excitement for the photoshoot instead of what she was actually doing. 

“Hey! Is it time for the shoot?” Alex asked as she jumped up and down a few times to cleverly mask her embarrassing play-pretend bunny hops. 

The two costume designers nodded at her and stood by the doorway. “Yes, it’s time for the shoot, Miss Marx,” they both said simultaneously as if they rehearsed it. But the look they gave one another for a few short seconds afterward said it was purely a coincidence. “If you’ll follow us,” said one of them. 

The tigress nodded and walked towards the two and left the dressing room with them. Once they were out of the dressing room, they walked down a long hallway where a few people were walking and running to go where they needed to be. This was the last physical shoot for Playboy, this was a big deal, everyone was scrambling to make sure this last one was just right. The two girls led Alex to a big door and opened it for her to step inside first, once she was inside, she could see a big corner of the mostly empty studio where the shoot was going to take place. 

Cameras, lights, a huge backdrop, and props were all over the place. In the middle of all that was a tall giraffe fiddling with a big camera with a complicated-looking lens that stuck out way too far. He wore a partially unbuttoned shirt with skinny jeans and Birkenstocks. He looked like a fashion photographer, if he had a scarf or some silly hat on, he’d have checked every single stereotype box for one. When Alex got closer to him and laid eyes on him, she couldn’t help but wonder how long his tongue was. She heard (pfft) that giraffes had really long tongues. It got her staring at the giraffe’s mouth as he spoke to her. 

“There you are, come on, we’re very behind schedule, they want this shoot done and the photos ready by tonight!” the giraffe shouted out as he looked around at the other staff members as they shuffled around to make last-second changes to things on the set. The giraffe gestured his hands towards Alex and then snapped his fingers and pointed to the direction of the big backdrop where all the lights were pointed to. “Stand over there and look pretty for me, WE’RE BEHIND SCHEDULE, PEOPLE!” he shouted once more and again dragged his gaze around the entire set to let it be known that his remarks were directed to everyone but the talent. 

Seeing him gesture over towards the large backdrop where all the lights were pointed to, Alex padded her way over there and turned to face the photographer with a slightly nervous look on her face. She hoped he wouldn’t shout at her like that, she was not a fan of very shouty photographers, they were the worst kind of photographers, and in Alex’s experience, the photos that come out of a shoot where the photographer is an ass, aren’t particularly the best. 

After he was done shouting at the staff, however, the giraffe turned to look at the tigress in that purple Playboy Bunny outfit and smiled, his tongue even stuck out a little when he did, giving Alex a bit of a glimpse into how long his tongue was. Had Alex not been prepared for the giraffe to do anything tongue related, she might have shivered visibly, but giraffes know all about their strengths and weaknesses, they probably also know that girls like really long tongues. 

“Why don’t you start by giving me a nice smile?” 

Alex smiled for him. 

“Now tilt your head to the side a little, please sweetheart?” he said with a charming smile. With every word he spoke, she could see a little bit more of his tongue. Oh, how she wanted to feel that tongue inside her and oh how she really had to keep those thoughts under wraps. That leotard she was in wasn’t going to do any good keeping any wetness from seeping out. She was going to get horny if she wasn’t careful. She tilted her head to the side a little and kept up that bright smile on her face. The giraffe took a few photos, his camera clicked as the shutter captured the stills. 

He stopped after taking a few photos and looked at them for a few seconds before he put his eye back on the viewfinder. “Now run your hand through your hair, make it look natural… And sexy…” He said with a rather seductive tone in his voice. Alex did as instructed and ran her hand through the hair on the right side of her head. 

‘Click’, he pressed the shutter button just once this time before he pulled the camera away from his face to have a better look at the photo on the camera’s screen. 

“Perfect,” he said with a grin before he looked up from his camera and at Alex. His tongue slipping out of his mouth “accidentally”. 

Alex shivered visibly.
