GLAMOUR GUIDE 1957 Busty Latina Anita Ventura



Rarely seen Glamour Guide Semi-Annual #1 published by Selbee in New York City, circa 1957 featuring Joann Bliss on the cover and the always marvelous, voluptuous Latina, Anita Ventura throughout. Ventura's long black hair, streaked white in the center, her gorgeous face and seductive figure made her a stand out of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Where is Anita, her daughters and grand daughters today?

Album d'Etudes Poses. Collection of composite studies of the human form. Photographs by Louis Jean Baptiste Igout, circa 1870s. Published in Paris by Calavas. The finest example of this type of album I have seen, all images fresh in appearance, exhibiting excellent contrast.

SATIN & LACE Premiere Issue Linda Starr Covergirl 1958



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.

Satin and Lace premiere issue #1, San Francisco H.O.C. Publishing,1958. Featuring Linda Starr on the cover plus stripper Patti Waggin, Cuban bar-girls, queen of tease Tempest Storm, Pat O'Day and much more.
