Marriage and Love Confessions Magazine, from Headline Publications. ELLEN STRATTON COVER! The model who, a year after this mag came out, would make history as Playboy's FIRST "Playmate of the Year"!! A SIMPLY INCREDIBLE magazine! From May of 1958 comes "Marriage and Love Confessions", a smutty little mag filled with stories such as "I Lied My Way into Marriage" ("...love on the rebound lead me into a false romance!"), "My Loneliness Drove Me to Adultery" ("...I was so starved for love that I forgot all decency!"), "Too Greedy for Love" ("...my husband's kisses were not enough!"), and the real kicker of 'em all "I was a Flirt 'til I got Spanked" ("...that hard paddling did me a world of good"). Ahh, they just don't have magazines like this anymore. The posed photo-illustrations abound with portrayals of roughneck men and desperate damsels. Believe it or not, titles such as these and the "True Detective"-type potboilers were the last gasp of the era of Pulp Magazines...yes, kiddies, THIS is where "Pulp Fiction" originated, not in Quentin Tarantino's sweaty mind. The ads in this mag are priceless, too..."Drink Your Fat Away", a Bullet-Shaped Bra for only $2.98, "Hormone Cream for Bust and Body", a how-to book called "A Man at Your Feet", reducing chewing gum (lose up to 5 lbs a week!!), "The Amazing New Abdo-Slim", "5 Dresses for $2.75", and much, much more. Yep, you guessed right...this was a sleaze magazine for the ladies!! The frameable cover alone is worth the price. Ay, carumba!! Only one in stock.
