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!
I shall never look at butterflies in the same way again. Thanks for sharing, Astrid.

ReplyDeleteWhat an extraordinary cover. I've never seen it, thanks! It is truly hard to imagine that on a magazine rack. After all this time, so good to know I'm still surprised.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things I love about collecting this stuff...always running into new things I've never seen before!
