Is anybody safe?īLONDE BOMBSHELL – I remember those glass grapes (a fixture in many a 60s abode) those leggings, however, not so common.īODY SHOP – These Greek style set pieces really lend a sense of class to these magazines, don’t you think?īOUDOIR – Somebody get this girl a coat, she’s freezing!īROADSIDE – Speaking of “classy”, there’s nothing classier than a man in a top hat reading a Lois Lane comic book.īRUNETTE – “Exotic Entertainment for Men”, because brown hair is oh-so-very exotic.īUCCANEER – Laurine, the Lady Barber says, “Take it All Off” is their nonsensical headline, but I’m more intrigued by the “Sexy ’70s – What Lays Ahead”. The magazine is called BLACK lace!īLACK MAGIC – Is she trying to tell us something with that red rag, or just wipe something up high? I’m so confused.īLACK SILK STOCKINGS – We’ll stop here with the “black” titles – they are endless: Black Satin, Black Silk, Black Nylons… the 1960s gent couldn’t get enough of the black undergarment!īLAST – “A bevy of beauties to blast you right out of your easy chair” – the best cover blurb everīLAZE – “The bosom craze” seems to have infected the Blaze as well.
HUSTLER MAGAZINE COVERS TV
American and English adult magazines looked positively tame by comparison.īEAUTY BAZAAR – Is she sad because her TV is broken? Suffice it to say, when you have SO many brands of girlie mags on the shelves, there’s bound to be a few that leave you scratching your head.īEWITCHING – That stone wall is positively bewitching.īLACK LACE – Looks like a couple of these girls didn’t get the memo. whereas, Scandinavia had long since gone fully explicit. We’re trying to watch the game.īEAUTIFUL BRITONS – The girlie magazine was by no means exclusively American. Would it be safe to say there were more titles of girlie magazines than of all other types of magazines combined? Probably not – but I’m sure it was close!īEAU FEMME – Excuse, me, ma’am. When it wasn’t just about anatomy, but the whole package: the stories, the vibe, the art, and – of course- also the pictures. So, here are 50 or so girlie magazine covers from before things got explicit, but were still adult oriented. By the time the notorious Pubic Wars rolled around in the 1970s, the articles were almost irrelevant compared to the glossy pictures of x-rated anatomy. It’s become a joke to say you read Playboy for the articles however, back then, the articles were often well-written (with big-name authors contributing, since there wasn’t the stigma there is today). The paper quality was poor, with most of these rags printed on crummy B&W pulp. However, the 50s/60s were, without question, the Golden Era of the Girlie Magazine: they weren’t as explicit, but they were plentiful, diverse, and (yes, I’ll say it) better quality.
Sure, things got sleazier in the 70s, when basically all restrictions were eliminated, and magazines like Hustler drove the limits of bad taste straight into the sewer.
