Harry Styles turns up the heat as his brand Pleasing drops lube and other adult toys that his fans did not see coming
When Harry met your nightstand
The Grammy-winning singer made a cheeky nod to the release on July 23 by resharing the brand's teaser video to his Instagram Story. And if fans had any doubt this was peak Harry energy, the commercial starring Styles himself sealed the deal. In it, he picks up a landline phone, scribbles a mysterious message, and then casually reads out loud, "Please yourself like you mean it."

Pleasing goes bold, and bolder with Harry Styles
What began in 2021 as a nail polish drop turned into a beauty revolution. Harry told Dazed back in the day that the brand's goal was to help people feel glowing, beautiful, and authentically themselves. With this new s*x-positive pivot, it is clear that Pleasing is not just about outer beauty anymore, Harry wants to get under your skin, literally and figuratively.

From Watermelon Sugar to what not!
Fans have long suspected that Styles had a knack for sensual metaphors. During a 2021 concert, the singer winkingly explained that "Watermelon Sugar" was about the sweetness of life... before dropping the bomb that it was actually a celebration of the female you-know-what. So, really, are we surprised?
The vibrator and lube will debut at a pop-up event in New York on July 25, before being available online. The brand has not just dipped its toes but cannonballed into the intimate wellness pool, and fans are already thirsting for more.

Who is Leon Prater in Dexter: Resurrection? Collector of killers Leon Prater is not an average villain, the actor told Dexter Daily, that his character Leon never commits a violent crime himself but 'likes to be around it secondhand'. The report added that this subtle distinction adds a disturbing depth to Prater. Although he is not wielding the knife, he is orchestrating the feast. In Dexter: Resurrection, Prater is revealed as a serial killer collector. He hosts intimate dinners for active murderers, offering them a haven to indulge their darkest urges—figuratively and literally. Also Read: Did Dexter get taken off Netflix? Here's where to watch the series According to another TV Insider report, Leon Prater's collection includes 'tokens' from infamous killers, and, more chillingly, the presence of several live ones. Among them are: Mia a.k.a. Lady Vengeance (Krysten Ritter): a seductive predator who targets sexual abusers Al (Eric Stonestreet): a jovial dad with a ponytail fixation Gareth a.k.a. Gemini Killer (David Dastmalchian): a serial killer with superiority issues Lowell (Neil Patrick Harris): a tattoo-obsessed killer with a new victim in sight Leon Prater's killer dinner in Dexter: Resurrection The TV Insider report added that Dexter Morgan (Michael C Hall) is invited to one of Leon Prater's dinner parties under his Red alter ego. Listening to the conversation, he finds himself both disgusted and intrigued by the twisted social gathering. The tension only soars when he reportedly reunites with Mia for some catharsis and later targets Lowell: adding him to his own kill list. Meanwhile, Prater and his enigmatic assistant Charley, played by Uma Thurman, observe from the sidelines, curating chaos like art collectors. Also Read: Uma Thurman joins Michael C Hall in Dexter: Resurrection as a series regular Peter Dinklage on joining Dexter: Resurrection Peter Dinklage, according to Dexter Daily, was excited to join the show.

He added that an actor needs nothing more in a show which is smartly written and has well-drawn characters. Dinklage also spoke about having the added advantage of shooting in his hometown New York. He added that the writers and Michael C Hall have got the show down to 'such a beautiful (science)'. FAQs Q: Who is Leon Prater in Dexter: Resurrection? A: Leon Prater is a mysterious billionaire who surrounds himself with serial killers. Played by Peter Dinklage, he doesn't kill himself but enjoys being close to violence. Q: Is Leon Prater a villain? A: While not a killer by his own hand, Prater's obsession with murder and his orchestration of killer gatherings make him a chilling antagonist in the series. Q: What's unique about Dinklage's role? A: Prater is psychologically complex - a man fascinated by death but detached from the act. He is manipulative, rich, and revels in the spectacle of violence. Q: Does Leon Prater have a code like Dexter? A: No. Unlike Dexter, who only targets predators, Prater enables and empowers killers without remorse, acting more like a connoisseur than a moral judge. Q: How does Peter Dinklage describe the show? A: Dinklage called it 'a smorgasbord of challenge' for actors, praising its clever writing and strong characters.
