Published this month in 1966, this issue of the French pin-up magazine Folies de Paris et de Hollywood features the usual assortment of burlesque queens from Parisian cabarets, except with their private parts airbrushed away even more drastically than usual. But it was flirting with an obscenity charge to show pubic hair in French magazines in 1966, so the editors had little choice, though we suspect pubes may have been accepted in art circles. Not sure about that.

It’s a bit amazing to us that the editors can find so much to say about each of these dancers, literally paragraphs of info about Gladys, Lisette, Penny, Ursula, et. al., their habits, their ambitions, their likes and dislikes. We wonder if one of those dislikes was encountering men at their shows who were armed with all this biographical information: “Ursula, I tell you, we are truly peas in a pod, because I love being kissed on the backs of my knees too! Quelle coïncidence!” Fifteen scans below.
