Mistress in Satin
About 60 years old, Mistress in Satin is an obscure Exotique booklet that's seldom seen anywhere. Well-orchestrated photography and about 20 pages of text tell us of a country cousin who visits her urban cousin for a few weeks.

Fortunately for all concerned, the city cousin (Diane Kirby) immediately decides that her relative (Nanette Rockwell) must learn how to dress. This means a lacy bra and panties, tight satin corset, black, full-fashioned stockings and strappy mules with four-inch heels.

Throughout the apparel orientation, Miss Kirby shows off her own pinup credentials in tight satin corset, tan stockings, strapless bra and two-tone mules with 5+ inch heels. The objective of the transformation is the creation of a “glamour girl” who will appear as “a vision of sensuous allure [to] men-folk.”

Replete with delicious details and lingerie tactics, the prose aims to satisfy the appetite of fetishists with precise descriptions that include dimensions. As stated throughout her dialog, the attitudes of the city cousin express popular 1950s ideas about the objectification and presentation of women, which have gone out of and back into style since then. The photography discloses professional competence, with well-directed posing, framing and lighting in Mr. Burtman’s apartment.

The ebook optimizes the images with excellent female figures filling pages from top to bottom, reducing the need for zooming and scrolling. Complete pictures are clear. Enlargements of stockings/heels and corsets are positioned beside the complete photos or on the following page. Some of these are a bit fuzzy.

A few of the photographs at the beginning and end are relocated in the sequence of pages. The original shows conscientious craftsmanship, improved by the ebook adjustment process.

All original scans.

Bonus ebook, Bandit in High Heels [incomplete]
I can't sell Bandit in High Heels as a Bargain Bin item because about 10 pages are missing from the set of scans I was given. The incomplete edition will certainly satisfy curiosity about the content introduced by the evocative cover.

The prose and pictures of this Exotique Photo-Fiction tell of the night petite Maureen, the Lady Bandit, makes herself comfortable in Tana Louise’s apartment, peeling down to her sexy undies. When Tana (the first Mrs. Burtman) returns home, she strips down to her bra, panties, corset, stockings and sling-back heels.

The two lovelies wrangle a bit on the sofa and Tana prevails over the masked intruder. She agrees to mend her ways and become Tana’s personal maid.

A professional burlesque entertainer, Tana Louise presents her delectable figure in satin corset, dark full-fashioned hosiery, high heels and a jaunty tam. No publication has ever presented too many pictures of lovely Tana.
