Via Dangerous Minds, I stumbled on this terrific blog with scans of vintage magazines and promotional photos depicting campy glamour of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Above, a pulp rag featuring the fabulous Jayne Mansfield.

Glamour a go-go!

    Oh, and here I thought my father got this magazine for the Photography tips.

  • Lord Xenu

    Great, I thought “6 Love Words” and “She’ll Always Swallow” were two separate articles. I was very confused.

  • alllie

    I find it hard to believe that is a real issue of a real magazine and not an old magazine with some outrageous titles photo-shopped in.

  • narrowstreetsLA

    What’s the archaic term for “fap”?

  • ian71

    Make your glamour experience better by listening to “My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult” :)

  • Antinous / Moderator

    Isn’t it a bit cheeky to feature Jayne on Marilyn’s death day?

    • Dig Duggler

      Haha, I didn’t notice till you pointed that out, but it most certainly is August 5th. The only reason I know this date is from the song “Who Killed Marylin.”

    You can tell there’s a lobster up there right now, can’t you?

  • OriGuy

    “The American Fascist Underground” — some things never change.

  • Mitch

    “She’ll always swallow” is only 3 love words! Well, maybe 3 and a half.

  • stegodon

    at first, i thought she was holding a paintbrush. well, maybe not VERY first

  • voiceinthedistance

    I wonder what a One-Night Woman is the other 364 days of the year?

    Also wondering what the object is below (and behind) her hand?

    • IWood

      My wife, you bastard! Have at you!

  • jphilby

    I met a one-*knight* woman once. OOoo what a spear *that* was.

  • Anonymous

    Life was so much less complicated!

  • Narmitaj

    I think that’s just the edge of a door behind her hand… the brass plate, for instance.
