Girlie Magazines: Newsstand Classics late '50s + Early '60s

After the introduction of Playboy in 1953 American newsstands needed to make room for the copycat publications that followed. By the early 1960s there were titles from A to Z. A handful were actually successful, including Escapade, Gent, Monsieur and Cavalier. These and similar magazines are for sale in my eBay store.

DAZZLE Issue #3 Strip-Tease Burlesque 1957

Starting a series of posts devoted to American "girlie" magazines of the late 1950s, early 1960s. Primarily full-size, "newsstand" magazines aimed at the mature buyer, retaining a mix of partially nude models, risque tease photography, fiction and non-fiction articles. My criteria for posting starts with the cover and continues inside with seductive models in combination with great layouts and graphic design.

Dazzle published by Walter Hale,1957. "Diverting Damsels Daringly Delineated". Stars of the strip-tease, burlesque Nikki Masters, Evelyn West, Tempest Storm, Shane Cordell plus a photo of Jane Mansfield.
