Evenings At The Penthouse-Ode To A Bachelor Pad

ev605 Ode to a Bachelor Pad
 
Welcome to the penthouse, baby — where the cocktails are crisp, the lights are low, and the bachelor life is in full swing. Tonight, it’s all about the soundtrack to Hef’s empire… bachelor pads, velvet lounges, and music spun for the modern playboy. Slip off that dinner jacket, loosen the tie, and let the night unfold.
