In brief: Madiiitay: The Seattle content creator is Penthouse’s Pet of the Month for October 2026, AVN’s Joanne Cachapero reported on Oct. 1.
Most models spend years building a portfolio before Penthouse calls. Madiiitay skipped that step entirely.
The Seattle content creator is Penthouse’s Pet of the Month for October 2026, AVN’s Joanne Cachapero reported on Oct. 1. XBIZ covered the announcement the same day, describing her as a “professional modeling newcomer.” That’s not a figure of speech. In her own words:
“My Penthouse Pet of the Month shoot was my first time doing a professional modeling shoot. Penthouse reached out to me and I was so honored. It’s such an iconic brand and I loved the opportunity to create something beautiful while working with an amazing team.”
The magazine was equally smitten. Photo editor Sam Phillips called her “the magnetic Madiiitay, a woman who commands attention just by walking into a room.” CEO Moose said she brings “a wonderful combination of confidence, personality and a genuine sense of adventure,” and promised a new pictorial.
Her Pet interview, as quoted by AVN, is the fun part. She’s a former volleyball player who now does the gym, yoga and golf. She’d live in Maui if she could. She likes spicy margaritas, steak, sushi, brunch and reality TV, and she collects “silly shot glasses” from her travels. Her take on animals is decisive: “Cows are sooo cute.” Asked what drives her to work hard, she gave the most honest answer in the history of the format: “I have expensive taste.”
The bigger goal, she told the magazine, is to keep building a modeling and content career while traveling: “Having the freedom to create, meet new people and experience different cultures is my dream.”
Why it matters, in our read: Pet of the Month is a legacy title, and who gets it says something about where the magazine is looking. Crowning a creator whose first professional shoot was the Pet pictorial itself suggests Penthouse is hunting for talent in social feeds rather than agency rosters, and it’s a smart way to keep an old title feeling current.
Her self-described weakness? “My spontaneous side … I love saying ‘yes’ to things.” Penthouse, presumably, is glad she did.
