In this video, I present vintage office themed sleaze paperbacks from the 1960's.  These evocative cover illustrations look like they could be scenes painted from the TV Show "Mad Men."  I did one previously on this same topic but this video features different books.

Video Blog: Novel Books

This video discusses the early 1960s Chicago based publisher "Novel Books."  Novel Books produced some very strange and interesting vintage sleaze books, and this video presents a few of them.  I've always thought Novel Books was one of the under-appreciated presses.  Their titles were fascinatingly strange, over-the-top, and pumped up macho.

Video Blog: Computer Swap by Sam Scar

A third video blog! This video discusses a vintage sleaze paperback with a swinger theme.  Published by Greenleaf in the late 1960's, this title was science fiction then but not so far-fetched today.

Video Blog: Vintage Gay Sleaze Pulp Paperbacks

Another video blog! In this one, I discuss 1960's era vintage pulp paperbacks featuring gay sex themes. These sexy vintage paperbacks are referred to by collectors as "sleaze" paperbacks.  These particular ones are gay-themed and are some of the only homosexual artifacts from this time period.

Video Blog: The Sleaze Paperback Covers of Bill Edwards

So, I am trying something new...video blogging!  I think it's a great way to get information to interested in parties in a more personable fashion.  The video below is features vintage sleaze paperbacks with cover artworks by Bill Edwards.  Edwards was a movie actor, rodeo star, and Western illustrator who also painted 100+ cover paintings for vintage sleaze books in the 1960's. His work is notable in the genre.  If you'd like to subscribe to my YouTube Channel, it can be found under the name culturerash.

"Lord of Lust" or "Lord of Constipation"?

This is a great Robert Bonfils illustration.  I love the covers he did, like this one, that depicted large groups of people.  The characters are always so colorful and expressive.  The scenes are always energetic and fun.  But what cracks me up about this one is the gal in blue, the one whose face makeup looks like an "Avatar" character.

I can't decide...is she sad and disgruntled that she isn't getting more attention from the group?  Or is she just really, really constipated?

Alright.  You be the judge.  All I can say about her at this point is...whadda face!

I can't help crawling in love with you....

Because there's nothing hotter than some creepy dude peering at you from behind a footboard...Just sayin'.

My crush...with eyeliner...and eyeshadow...and lacey panties...and a pretty necklace!

I don't know about you but every time one of my guy friends gets into my makeup and lingerie, I get mighty pissed off.  The behavior is so inappropriate-- I just fume! 

I mean, seriously, dude, if you're gonna try on my favorite lace panties, don't stretch 'em out, and if you're gonna borrow my make-up, for god's sake, put the lids back on!

Manners, dude. It's just common courtesy...

Cover Artist: the great Robert Bonfils (of course)

Is That a Muscle in Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

"Love's Muscle"....we get the double entendre. Very cute. He's got muscles, and he's also got a...duh.

I like a few things specifically about this cover. One, it's painted by Robert Bonfils--need I say more? Two, it's got a really fine alliterative cover blurb. Three, two words: pink hair. And point number four, it amuses me that this was Bonfils' idea of a muscle man. He looks more like an anorexic George Hamilton that needs to eat a cheeseburger than he does a muscle man.

Oh well, here's to artistic interpretation!

This is the Stuff that Geek Wet Dreams are Made of...

Cover: Robert Bonfils

What do you say about a sleaze book this fabulous? How do you put into words this wonderful...this fantastic...this stupendous mecca of dorky goodness? It's got "Star Trek." It's got "intercourse." It's got EVERYTHING.

This is the kind of book I think of when visions of sleaze books dance in my head... This is the kind of book that melts me into a little puddle of sleaze happiness.

I think I can finally die and go to sleaze heaven.

Sigh...

The only thing that's missing from the cover is one of those "red shirt" guys. Now that would be geektastic!

And um...yeah, um. Where's the Cap'n? And um, yeah, the dude with the pointy ears?

Just sayin...

She gave him butterflies...in his penis!

This book amazes me in so many ways. When I was going to post about it, I was at a loss for words. A pretentious art critic might comment on the exquisitely rendered Bonfils cover. Me, I'm just happy that the book and title are based on a pleasing euphemism for a woman's lady parts. "Lust's Butterfly" has a better ring than "Lust's Beaver"! Somehow a woman in a beaver costume doesn't have quite the sexy sophistication of a butterfly woman. Then again, if you're into furries...

Ah, fuck it, bring on the beaver costume! This is what sleaze is all about!

She Was A Sex Tripper...One Way Ticket, Yeah.

Another splendid cover by Robert Bonfils. Enuf said.

One Flew Over the Nympho's Nest

"Um, yeah, I'm here about the 'nympho ward'...could somebody provide me an address? I got a GPS and all, but I'm gonna need that address."

"WHAT??? It doesn't exist???? Damn, you Greenleaf Books...you're such a tease!"

While I am quite disappointed to learn that said nympho ward only exists in the imagination of 60's smutsters, I'm happy that we at least have this great Tom Cannizaro illustration as a manifestation of that imagination.

But, I still gotta call out Greenleaf for being such a tease. I mean after all, what bikini clad woman wouldn't want another bikini clad woman to hose her so hard that her bikini flew off? Right? Um, yeah, I guess I may be alone in this one.

Can we say awkward?

I'm Too Sexy for This Painting....Too Sexy By Far!

Wow, what a better way to show a character's narcissism than by having said character proudly display a painting of herself. Gotta love this cover art gem by artist Tom Cannizaro. He's not as well known as Bonfils but boy did he know how to crank out the sleaze...

The whole idea of a "painting" within a "painting" is very cool, indeed. Like a precursor to picture in picture. Well, not really, but it's still fun!

Zombies Need Love Too....

Almost 10 years ago, my husband and I saw the book "Take Death for a Lover" listed on an eBay auction. We bid but did not win the book. For nearly 10 years, we wanted the book but never saw another copy listed for sale. Recently, however a copy was listed on auction, and we managed to win it. We paid a healthy sum, but alas, that's the curse of the collector...little impulse control when it comes to something that you must add to the collection.

Is this front cover fellow a zombie? The back cover text gives no indication of his zombie status (or lack thereof), and I'm not about to read the damn thing. He does has some major "zombie eyes" going on. But, it's hard to say for sure... Is his woman a zombie? Again, hard to say.... The green skin suggests so, but this title would have been published before "Night of the Living Dead" made zombies a big deal. Whatever the case, there are few things sexier than a nude woman with red "X's" on her breasts, draped in barb wire and being carried by a ...err...uh...wait, this isn't sexy at all!

But when it comes to sleaze books, it's all about the art and the freakier the better. And they sure as hell look like zombies to me. CONCLUSION: Anyone with brains would love this cover art... (sorry, couldn't resist).

He broke my little bottle of....Lust Potion 69!

The title has a great play on words, and the cover art by Bonfils is pretty freaky. But so is the plot!

From the back cover:

"Professor Trucheon and Dick used Dwarf and Hunchback to kidnap the girls they needed for their sadistic sexperiments....until Trucheon developed Formula 69. With it, they could 'turn on' a city of thousands, and take their pick from the orgy-mad mob of lust crazed beauties."

I don't know about you, but I think that sounds like an awful lot of work just to get laid!

Because Green Berets Need Love Too...

These fellows look like patrons at an old-time nudie bar. And can you believe the expression on that dude's face? It's hard to say whether Bonfils was trying to convey a stupid drunk guy or a drunk stupid guy. Either way, genius.

Spiders & Heroin Go Together Like Birds of a Feather

"Passion Pusher" is one strange sleaze pb. I had never even seen an image of this book, until recently when it was listed on eBay, and I won the copy on auction. Robert Bonfils is a damn fine cover artist with a damn fine illustration concept. I haven't read this sleazy gem but based on the back cover, I can tell you that the story concerns a prostitute that's hired by a drug dealer to hook young high school boys on junk (presumably heroin).

Bonfils could have done a literal interpretation-- a scantily clad prostitute standing in the school parking lot while smoking a cigarette and giving high school boys the come-hither look. To really set the scene, she could have been holding a hypo needle behind her back.

But Bonfils gives us something even better. A sexy spider woman in a web, ready to trap high school boys in all that sticky goodness (or badness, since they are going to get addicted to heroin, after all).

A spider woman baring her fangs, while wearing next to nothing=A sleaze cover after my own heart.

Sigh.
