Contains adult themes: this story covers an adult magazine feature and the creator in it. Nothing explicit is described.
In brief: Minneapolis content creator Lilah Anne is Penthouse’s November 2026 Pet of the Month, AVN reported on Nov. 2. The centerfold was her first professional modeling shoot. Her Penthouse profile lists an arcade-and-drinks ideal date, a favorite challenge of beating that date at Skee-Ball, and cats who apparently drive her career goals.
Most people’s first professional photo shoot is a headshot that ends up on LinkedIn. Lilah Anne’s ended up as a Penthouse centerfold. The Minneapolis content creator is the magazine’s November 2026 Pet of the Month, AVN reported on Nov. 2, and the feature is her first professional modeling shoot.
Penthouse photo editor Sam Phillips says you couldn’t tell. “Her Penthouse centerfold was the first professional shoot she’s ever done, but you’d never know it from her confidence on set,” Phillips told AVN.
Anne doesn’t make a big deal of it either. Asked how she prepared mentally, she said: “I’m always prepared, it comes naturally to me.” She added: “This is my favorite job in the world. I love the freedom and creativity I am able to have. I also love the people I meet.”

Why Penthouse
According to a magazine rep quoted by AVN, she picked Penthouse after admiring how it photographed her friends. Her Pet profile puts it more simply: “I thought it would be a great opportunity. I love the way Penthouse has shot some of my friends as well.”
Skee-Ball, cats and government secrets
The profile is where the personality comes through. She calls herself a “non-traditional person,” and AVN says she can seem shy or awkward at first until the right setting brings out her spontaneous side. Her ideal date is arcade games and drinks, ideally with some friendly competition; her favorite challenge, per the profile as quoted by AVN, is “beating her date at Skee-Ball.” Consider yourself warned.
Her morning routine is refreshingly honest. “It takes me about 15 minutes on an average day, 1 hour when I film. It does take me the longest to actually get out of bed, sometimes hours,” she told Penthouse. Asked what she would do with any one day, she picked something closer to a heist movie: “I would choose to be able to wander around any building I wanted, especially ones that kept government secrets.”
Then there are the cats. AVN reports they are a major source of motivation, pushing her to work hard so she can spoil them with cat trees and toys. She also has “a soft spot for pandas, cats, and all things Halloween,” and likes travel, decorating, singing, yoga and “a relaxing Epsom salt bubble bath.” She is a former cross-country runner, too, and says her legs are her favorite physical feature.
Welcome to the family
Penthouse CEO Moose said there is “something refreshing about her,” adding: “The fact this was her first professional shoot makes what she accomplished that much more impressive.”
Phillips signed off in the house style: “And from one Pet (cat lady) Sister to another, welcome to our family.” The cat trees, presumably, are on order.
