Best things about this cover:
  • This was also the cover for Axilla Fetishist Monthly (April 1963)
  • One thing about saran wrap lingerie is: the itch.
  • Man I wish the girl in the dark in the back ground were more in the light in the foreground.

Best things about this back cover:
  • "Oh, don't mind me, I just wandered over to this side of the room and got tangled in the drapery somehow."
  • Seriously, what is happening there?
  • "Bunny soft"— I'm laughing quite hard right now.
  • Ladies, if you really wanna sex up your bedroom patter, call it "the portals of the 'forbidden world'!"

Page 123~
"I don't do the kind of dances they'd want."
"Who cares about dancing? The men don't come inside the tent for that."
They got into another bottle of rye and Emily paraded around the room.

The girl on the cover looks like the same girl from "That Kind of Girl". Or maybe the same artist.

Portals isn't subtle at all, is it? Bet the copywriter was really proud of himself, though.

And was this business of putting a cheesecake photo on the back common for erotic novels in this period? Or maybe just for lesbian novels? This is the second one in the last 3 posts.

She looks like she's giving a gang sign.
