LOS ANGELES—Hustler Magazine announces that Laura Desirée has been named its Cover Honey for the April 2023 issue, now available on newsstands and in digital format. In addition to gracing the cover, Desirée is showcased in a 12-page centerfold spread shot by Ellen Stagg. Although Desirée has appeared previously in features, this issue marks her first nude pictorial and centerfold for the magazine.
"Shooting this feature for Hustler was pure magic. I have never felt this sexy in my entire life," Desirée said. "As a woman expressing the full blossom of her erotic self, it was the perfect setting to be among a full flourish of fragrant flowers. The only thing that could make this edition any better would be if these images had a 'scratch n sniff' option for our readers. It's my absolute pleasure to see my images printed in a forever iconic publication, thank you!"
"Laura epitomizes the Hustler Honey—smart, personable and so very beautiful!" said editorial director Anne Denbok. "Her image won our Anniversary 2022 cover contest, and we were thrilled when Ellen Stagg offered to shoot Laura again for our April centerfold."
Starlets Romy Indy, Angeline Red and Bella Jane also make their Hustler feature debuts in the April edition. In addition, popular Hustler Honey Jana Cova returns by reader demand in a photo set shot by Holly Randall Productions.
In "Class of 2023: Porn's Rising Stars," Missy Martinez interviews five performers new to the adult industry—Rory Knox, Melissa Stratton, Kitana Montana, Dharma Jones and Joshua Lewis—who have what it takes to succeed: talent, looks, hard work, stamina and professionalism. Then "4/20 24/7" celebrates everyone's favorite chill holiday with Adriana Maya, Autumn Bodell, Kitty Quinn, Vika and Goddess Vicky V. Rounding out Hustler's April features is an interview by John Blaylock with Editor in Chief Penelope Daio of Petit Mort, a biannual publication written by sex workers.
In her Publisher's Statement, Liz Flynt reflects on the direction of the House of Representatives, now led by Republicans. Flynt expresses concern over how much power the hard right now holds, after Kevin McCarthy gave up concession after concession in his blind ambition to become speaker of the House, which she predicts will ensure that little to nothing will get done in Congress over the next two years.
Bonus pictorials this month include the April 2006 classic "How to Pick Up Chicks," starring Nevaeh and Celeste Star, shot by famed photographer Matti Klatt, and "Caught My Busty Neighbor Masturbating 2," by Hustler Video, featuring Heather Honey, Kenzie Love, Chloe Surreal and Layla Quinn.
