Some kitschy delights from one of the most popular precursors to Playboy.  There's something in this selection to offend everyone.  Or so I hope. Original covers from 1951 - 1959.

I love your posts. Really, I do.

This one is among the top - a peek into a world that even in its day was kept hidden and private.

I can so see the guys of "Mad Men" having these in their office drawers...

I'll admit, I rearranged the pics so I could put that one before the jump just for the "Strange Sex Life of Midgets." I really want to read that article.
