Bon Jovi s third & most commercially successful album Slippery When Wet was released on August 18 of 1986. It sold over 12 million copies in the U,S. Today it stands as one of the six best selling hard rock / heavy metal albums ever & spawned two #1 singles, You Give Love a Bad Name & Livin On a Prayer. Slippery When Wet hit #1 for 15 weeks, the record for a hard rock album on the Billboard Top 200. Jon Bon Jovi was initially reluctant to include Livin on a Prayer on the album, believing that it was not a good enough song. Ironically, it became the bands most popular & well-known song & was the #1 song of 1987. The song is referred to in Bon Jovis 2000 single Its My Life. With this albums singles, Bon Jovi was the first hard rock band to ever have two consecutive #1 Hot 100 chart hits. Slippery When Wet was the first hard rock album to have 3 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits. Also, it was the first hard rock album to debut on the chart at #1 With Slippery When Wet, the band twice had the #1 single & the #1 album simultaneously, another hard rock first.

This DVD, as the title specifies, is a series of nine episodes celebrating beautiful women in a diverse assortment of circumstances involving water, oil, champagne etc.

Most of the episodes in this collection are wonderful, especially Oil & Water, where two ladies & some oil make love on a waterbed, & Bubbling Over, which involves two very beautiful girls & seemingly endless bottles of champagne.

However if Playboys mantra is the celebration of beautiful women, one wonders why they insist on including mute, muscle bound men in their productions. There are no men in their centrefold pages, or indeed in their special editions, so why include them in these DVDs? In this collection, Home Alone & School House Rock, both of which are peppered with beautiful moments, are spoiled by the unnecessary presence of men. Also, the cringe-worthy voiceover to these sketches is that of a mans; all neo-American trite & dire puns. Surely the sensual & elegant voice of a woman would be ideal.

Despite these legitimate criticisms this is a magnificent DVD. The girls in this collection, most of whom are Playboy Playmates, are all beautiful. Special mention must go to the delightful Natalia Sokolova, who is the girl on the cover, and, in particular, to Summer Altice. She conforms to none of Playboys clichés & is spirited, natural & a joy to watch.
