![A COLORFUL MAN](/images/headline/7129.png) Interesting, full of stories, and very well read. ![](/images/postimg/a_colorful_man_01.jpg)
As much as we love K.G. Murray Publishing's men's magazine Adam, especially during its early 1970s period, we have to admit that the succinctly titled Man is probably the prettiest magazine ever produced by the Aussie company. Today's issue from this month in 1964 is an example. The colors explode from the pages. The art, some of which is by Jack Waugh and the single-monikered Humph, is detailed and lovingly rendered. The format is large (so much so that we had to scan every page you see here in two parts and assemble them in GIMP). And the stories are pure male wish fulfillment.
The magazine was such a popular offering that K.G. Murray even published a pocket edition, which we've already shown you. In today's full-sized edition, as always you get several beautiful models, including one supposedly named Van Leman posing on a sea turtle like it's a coin-operated ride outside a Kwik-E-Mart. We imagine the turtle wasn't happy about it, but how can you tell? It's a turtle. They never look happy. Man also provides a few celebrity shots, including of British actress Gloria Paul, and Danish flash-in-the pan Heidi Hansen. All that and more in many scans down under.

![YES WE CANCANS](/images/headline/3344.png) Something about Paris just makes you want to dance. ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_01.jpg)
This issue of Cancans de Paris, which is number 10, hit newsstands this month in 1966 featuring cover star Virginia Litz, someone we saw a while back in Folies de Paris et de Hollywood, but modeling under the pseudonym Arabelle. Turns out Litz may be a pseudonym too, as we've determined she's also known—and better known—as Christine Aarons. She pops up inside Cancans along with Gloria Paul, Dany Carrel, Sylvia Sorrente, and Uta Levka, as well as Sean Connery and Claudine Auger, who were starring together in Thunderball. We have Virginia Litz/Christine Aarons on at least one other mid-century magazine, which we'll post a bit later. In the meantime below are assorted scans from today's issue. ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_02.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_03.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_04.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_05.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_06.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_07.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_08.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_09.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_10.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_11.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_12.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_13.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_14.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_15.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_26.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_16.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_17.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_27.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_18.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_28.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_19.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_20.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_21.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_22.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_23.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/yes_we_cancans_24.jpg)
![G-L-O-R-I-A](/images/headline/2110.png) Just about five feet ten a-from her head to the ground. ![](/images/postimg/g-l-o-r-i-a_01.jpg) ![](/images/postimg/g-l-o-r-i-a_02.jpg)
These two shots by famed Italian photographer Angelo Frontoni show dancer and actress Gloria Paul, who was born in London but was of Italian extraction and spent most of her career in Italy. She worked steadily beginning in 1961, and appeared in such films as The Intelligence Men, For a Few Dollars Less, and Darling Lili. In 1996 she was the victim of an accident in which a water tank in her home fell through the roof of her shower and broke her back. After time in a wheelchair she eventually regained the ability to walk, but her dancing career was over.
