Fetish Nostalgia ebooks were born on ebay

and are now enjoyed everywhere.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Robert Harrison published "girlie" magazines on pulp paper with titles like Beauty Parade, Wink, Titter, and Eyeful. The models include chorus girls, strippers and burlesque entertainers, with text and comic images frequently referring to “Broadway.”

The original layouts were often like burlesque presentations, with an accent on jokes and gags, often involving puns. Some of the layouts included comedians in baggy pants.

Many of the the pictorials were given alliterative titles, and one of these, “Fancy Femmes”, provides the title of our ebook. With this expression, the magazine describes women who enjoy dressing in stockings, garter belts, corsets, lacy undergarments and the highest of heels. Although the Harrison product is fairly remembered for its pinup focus, each issue served generous helpings of models in extra-high heels and old-fashioned corsets and stockings through the 1940s and well in the 1950s.

This original ebook anthology, second in the series, collects photographs of the prettiest models in high (4½+ inch) heels, with some as high as 6 inches, and arranges them on wide, optimized ebook pages. As the original magazine pages were larger than those of other magazines, the ebook pages for this volume are substantially larger than other optimized ebooks. On 140 pages, models show off classic curves and pinup-quality legs in spikes, stockings and a few spectacular corsets.

Except for the splendid Peter Driben cover paintings, all photos are monochrome.

The second section shows 12 complete pages on a variety of subjects including “Fashions in Love”, Dick Tracy, letters to the editor and an episode from a John Willie comic serial. These pages also show photos of Betty Grable, Ginger Rogers and Bettie Page. Finally, many pages of advertising for an assortment of wares, including remedies, novelty ashtrays, jackets, automobile seat covers, lingerie and other undergarments. Ads by Irving Klaw and others offer pinup photos. Many publishers offer books on wrestling, marriage, “forbidden mysteries,” Bubu of Montparnasse, jokes and assorted fiction. The reader was encouraged to buy training programs to learn how to draw, improve complexion, lose weight, gain weight, ju jitsu, play piano, type, start a business, stop smoking and write love letters.

This is the 175th vintage ebook we have offered on ebay.

PROCESS
I scanned each page at 600 dpi and later reduced the resolution to 155 dpi. I adjusted the tonality of the photos and corrected specks and blemishes. These ebooks could be considered a better read than the originals because the presentation and monochrome adjustments brighten, clarify and enlarge.

The .pdf file is 72 mb.

The scans were assembled as a book in a publishing program. Then, the file was exported to Acrobat .pdf format. Acrobat files are opened in Acrobat Reader, available without charge for both PC and MAC platforms at adobe.com. You can run an image viewer or video program at the same time you flip through the pages of an ebook in Acrobat Reader. Reader allows zooming and rotation. If you prefer paper pages to desktop images, Acrobat allows you to print .pdf pages.

DELIVERY

Delivery of the CD is by mail. When multiple ebooks are purchased, all ebooks will be sent on a single CD or DVD, ready for viewing on your PC or MAC.
