I Read It For The Articles...

And the pictures of naked girls. August,'62, a good month for Playboy. Not only because of the great illustrations of style we wish were more present in Playboy today, nor because of Gesa Meiken and her pouty perfection. But a good month because it is also the issue where James Jones published his first of three essays titled, The Thin Red Line, before his book of the same name came out. I wonder if bloggers used to sit around posting about how style and goods were better "back then," back then.
