Libby Jones Photo-Rama A highly-paid burlesque entertainer, Libby Jones often appeared in Mr. Burtman’s magazines, dressed in patent leather corsets and boots. In the Libby Jones Photo-Rama one shot, which she published herself, she seems to anticipate the appetites of fetishists in her choice of modeling costumes.

The construction of Libby Jones Photo-Rama is identical to an issue of Exotique — digest-sized, with color covers and 64 pages within. Unlike Exotique, this volume has no text. One leggy blond flirts with us from cover to cover.

This is one of the very best publications of it size and type for those with an interest in models in high heels. In high-heeled pumps, sandals, mules, D’Orsay pumps, and boots with spurs, she shows off the graceful curves of her slender legs and the seams of the full-fashioned hosiery that clings to them.

While we’ve seen pictures of photo sets shuffled and re-used in various magazines, I get the impression that the pictures that fill Photo-Rama were made especially for that volume. The lighting is good and the modeling is even better, as though someone directed the model and her photographer, arranging camera placement and posing legs to present those precious insteps in luscious arcs. If the intent was to show this accomplished entertainer as a fetish pinup model, the publisher succeeded.

Mr. Burtman’s New York apartment serves as the setting for most of the photography. In a few pictures, Miss Libby holds a shoe in her hands, with others arranged on top of his famous bar. She wears an assortment of stockings and a few corsets, long gloves, and dangling earrings. Her boots outfit includes a waist-cincher, jodhpurs, and a short whip. While her thick eye makeup might say pixie, her exotic countenance suggests a dangerous woman.

Although the ebook is not optimized, the photography in the original accomplishes a similar effect with one figure per page. This unique piece will certainly satisfy the appetites of high heels fetishists.

Black Nylons and High Heels, Vol. 2, Issue No. 5
A magazine of about 36 pages, Black Nylons and High Heels presents all its models in stockings and most in heels, some of them high. Garter belts and garters hold hosiery in place.

Couches play an important role in pinup poses that expose nipples. In 1960, this exposure typically prompted the disclaimer that such a revealing publication is intended for artists and photographers.

The models who populate these pages offer an assortment of moods and body types. Based on its title, this magazine was intended to appeal to fetishists. On some of its pages, it will.

One photo is repeated in the original and in the ebook.
