A general thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. I was a big PH fan back in the day and it was nice to talk a walk down memory lane, so to say.
One thing I can't help but notice, and I'm wondering if anyone has anything to add, but after browsing through these pages I'm a bit shocked to see how few women of color PH used. I mean even Playboy has had a pretty good run with asian, black, and especially latina models. But for some reason these pictorals are all pretty much white females. And I guess it goes without saying that PH never did any IR pictorals with a black male? At least I've never seen one. Any thoughts on this? I thought Guccione was more liberal than that. |

I'd like to go beyond just saying thanks for all the work that went into this thread. It's been a real treat to find not only old pictorials that were burned into my young brain 20 years ago, but to see additional pictures from the same shoot that I had not seen before.

Film noir couples pictorial
Sometime between Aug 75 and Aug 79, one of these couples features was set in the world of Sam Spade, film noir, 1940s. A PI gets it on with a femme fatale.
Anybody got? I have pleasant memories of it. This whole forum is amazing. What took me so long to get here? Thanks so much to everybody. |

I guess my point is that PH was trying to project an international and cosmopolitan image. Consequently there were fewer American black and hispanic women (though there were a few "latinas" if you allow South Americans and Europeans). Back in the day there was more room for minorities as the girl next door, imagewise.

I'm not sure how old you are, but the 1970s was a very, *very* different time. And PH certainly, if it wasn't progressive, challenged the status quo in a number of ways: not only by pushing the bounds of erotica, but editorially as well, by constantly tweaking the nose of the establishment. They also stood up for the little guy too, eg The Vietnam Veterans Advisor. What was PB doing? Yeah, basically they're both in it for $$ and both sold lots of ads for middle of the road stereo systems. But in the end PH have more of the edge, progressively.

I'm remembering my favourite Penthouse couples pictorial... it featured a couple on the porch of what looked like a beach house, in the middle of a hurricane. It was from about 1990 or 1991 or so... I can't remember the name of either of the models, but I'd love to see it again! Any one have it? Or know where I can find it? Thanks....
