Asian Beauties: Photographs 1950 Nudes



Rarely seen in the genre of 1950s photographs sold in adult books store and offered for sale in the back of men's magazines were images of minority women, especially Asians. Here from the archives a selection of some lovely Asian beauties, circa 1950s.














Krazy Kittens French Adult Magazines 1970s


 

One of my favorite titles published in Paris mid-1970s Krazy Kittens filled with erotic photos pirated from American adult magazines. Trashy, low quality printing and production, nonetheless the whole raunchy package makes its mark. Reviews and posted from the Vasta Archives.



1950s GIRLIE PIX: Cheesecake Busty Babes Nudes



Sexy 1950s babes posed in and out of lingerie: bras, panties, garter belts and stockings. 4 x 5" glossy photos, sold in sets via ads in girlie magazines and adult bookstores. A selection of demurely posed nudes, "covering up" their pubes, the results often more provocative then the hirsute imagery that followed in the 1960s. A selection from the Vasta Archives.

NYLONS & NUDES 1950s Digest Size Garter Belts & Stockings



In the mid/late 1950s in New York City the first specialty magazines appeared, all in a "digest" size format (approx 5.5" x 8") created by a handful of independent publishers. The magazines were sold only in adult bookstores. Some of the most popular were the "garters and hose" titles, precursors to what Elmer Batters' and company would create in Los Angeles in the late 1950s and eventually take-off as Parliament publications. A selection from the Vasta Archives featuring Black Nylons and High Heels, Garter Parade, the very scarce Stocking Parade, Black Satin and Nylon Legs

40RTY Plus: Busty Babes 1960s Selbee

 


In the early 1960s Selbee Publications in New York City became interested in the concepts of "specialty" magazines and created 40+ Forty-Plus. These very scarce, medium format publications featured the most popular American and British busty models of the era, each issue loaded cover to cover with photographs. Models appeared at the start of the layout dressed in bra, panties, garter belts and stockings and slowly stripped down to their natural, voluptuous selves. 

Featured models included Anita Ventura, Lisa Matthews, Margeret Middleton, Lorraine Burnett, Bonnie Logan, Francine Young, Tura Miller, Ann Austin, Rita Castro, Paula Page and Honey Bee. Note the busty caricature by Eric Stanton the covers. Results of another deep dive into the Vasta Archives.
