Illustrations from King’s Man 1960

| thetrashphile

Last week my laptop crashed and I lost everything, it’s a sad and stressful experience. I feel silly about the sense of loss. The good thing is I have physical copies of my magazines and can scan whatever I might need again, but scanning and editing takes hours, so it’s unfortunate that the work was lost. I am still figuring out what might be still around and what I will need to ready again. So this week I thought I would post illustrations from King’s Man, mostly because I haven’t featured the rad illustrations these magazines offer yet. There’s not too many in the mag but I love the 60’s art. I’d like to feature more of the art from the mags, I hope it’s interesting to you; please comment if you like them and want more. Enjoy!

Blonde for a Bed 1960

This pictorial can be found in King’s Man #9 1960. “Sharon Lee is twenty three and every inch a woman” The article states her measurements, tells readers to take their word for it and explains that they’ll measure her for you, its a strange write up. They go on to describe her as an object and that “the boudoir is the obvious place for her” Already this magazine seems more sexist than any I have read up to now. Usually they’re light hearted jabs about wanting to bang some cutie, but this very short write up rubs me the wrong way. But a literary critic I am not. I am more of a pictures critic and these are very artistic, esp for a girlie mag. Sharon is adorable with her blonde waves and cute pout. This pictorial features my fave pic from this magazine, I will put it first, its almost angelic, she’s simply beautiful, I’m sure you’ll agree. Enjoy!

King’s Man 1960

New magazine day! I just scanned/edited King’s Man #9 from 1960 and the pictures are wonderful 60’s smut. I’m only going to post three pics tonight, as the cover girl/pin up doesn’t have her own write up and I can’t find her name anywhere. I hope I will be able to find her name and update this post in the future.  So tonight is just a quickie. I haven’t joined a centerfold in a while, its a new skill for me. I like to think it came out ok. Hope you’re looking forward to the rest of the mag! Enjoy!

Back Cover

A Well Fed Red

Such a strange title ‘A Well Fed Red’ what does that even mean? Holly Crammer write up says ‘well fed’ but also describes her as ‘slender’. They don’t really say much either, she was in a beauty contest because she grew up on a potato farm and won the title of ‘Miss Potato 1968’ I am starting to wonder if the names they give are even their real names. I suppose people aren’t really supposed to read the write ups so it doesn’t really matter. Holly is beautiful though! She has a cute short beehive on the top of her head, and in the few color images you can tell she is actually a redhead. In the color pics you can also see her tan lines, and can tell she has naturally fair skin. I’m also a fan of her adorable pout, you’ll see what I mean. Enjoy!

Ballroom Dance of a Buff Doll

| thetrashphile

These two Italians from the mag Pagan love dancing! They’re former circus performers who were raised in show business and decided to adapt their favorite routines for the strip club, a pretty interesting way to grow your audience. Nita Natale and Anthony Salisi are a super adorable couple and look like they really love to dance. The article says they’re devoted to show biz and always put their act first, it even says they aren’t romantically involved, they really are all business. The pictorial is great, I don’t think I will ever get used to seeing a fully clothed guy with an almost nude lady dancing around him, it seems so unfair, why isn’t he scantily clad too? But the pictures are still pretty awesome. Enjoy!
