Vintage pop culture ephemera. Unique birthday present or collector’s item.

Playboy June 1998 is 188 pages and featured on the fold out cover are the lifeguards of Baywatch: Donna D’Errico (Playboy Playmate of the Month for September 1995), Traci Bingham, Pam Anderson Lee (Playboy Playmate of the Month for February 1990), Yasmine Bleeth, Carmen Electra, Marliece Andrada (Playboy Playmate of the Month for March 1998), Erika Eleniak (Playboy Playmate of the Month for July 1989), and Gena Lee Nolin. The main reason for 188 pages is due to one main article Playboy’s History of the Sexual Revolution Part VII (1960-1969): Make Love Not War by James R. Petersen. In this issue it deals with getting the government out of people personal lives, getting rid of a lot of dumb sex laws, the Pill, the Gay and Lesbian revolution, Hef stand on sex, and the Playboy Philosophy. I would have liked the article better if it was not spread out in the magazine.

This month interview is with Paul Reiser of Mad About You fame, 20 Questions with Yasir Arafat which I found annoying sometimes. You ask him one question and the answer has nothing to do with the question. This month Men article was quite amusing. Asa Baber was asked by the National Commission on Presidential Lust to come up with questions for future candidates running for the office of President. Other articles included are: Nascar Rules, Funny Girls (Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, and Ana Gasteyer of Saturday Night Live fame), the People Behind the Pill.

This month pictorials are, Frederica Spilman – United States Navy Air Force Lieutenant, this month Playmate is Maria Luisa Gil, Playmate Revisited Anne Randall: Playboy Playmate of the Month for May 1967, and the main nude pictorial is the Babes of Baywatch. Besides the ladies on the front cover being in the nude, it also features Julie McCullough (Playboy Playmate of the Month for February 1986), Jenny McCarthy (Playboy Playmate of the Month for October 1993 & Playboy Playmate of the Year for 1994), Rhonda Rydell, Tai Collins (Miss Virginia for 1983), Heidi Mark (Playboy Playmate of the Month for July 1995), and Kelly Monaco (Playboy Playmate of the Month for April 1997 & Germany’s Playmate of the Month for April 1997).

It is still possible to complete your entire collection of these genuine examples of VINTAGE pop culture ephemera. They reflect the socio-historical and cultural history of attitudes from the Cold War 1950s, the Flower Power 1960s, the rebellious 1970s, the hedonistic 80’s, the ‘naughty nineties’ and the headwinds of the ‘noughties’. Collectable EROTIC PHOTOGRAPHY.

Alternatively, it makes a very amusing BIRTHDAY PRESENT related to the year and/or month of the birthday or significant event (like a Wedding Anniversary)… If you like, we can giftwrap it, send it straight to the recipient of your choice, add a message and not send the usual receipt. (Just put your requirements in the “Comments” box and we will take it from there.)

Because there was only a limited and finite run, original Vintage Playboy Magazines are getting quite scarce and Elizabeth’s Bookshop prices are VERY competitive!

Adult pictorials, nudity (of course) and interesting retro articles.
