 This? This isn’t the lust lotion. I’ll grab that in a sec. This is my hemorrhoid cream. I’m gonna need your help here. 
We were going to go with “cream for my seeping bacne” for the subhead on this one, but that struck us as too colloquial, so we went with hemorrhoid cream instead. We’re all class around here. Anyway, Curt Aldrich, who we last discussed way back in 2009, was a house pseudonym inhabited by several writers, so we hear. The only one of those to have been positively identified is Richard Curtis. The Lust Lotion, which appeared in 1967, is a tame effort for Aldrich. He would go on to write incest books like Spread Big Sister and Her Father’s Fixation, as well as bestiality novels like Daughter Loves Horses, Horse-Happy Schoolgirl, and the unforgettable Schoolgirls Hot for Dogs, so Lust Lotion is family fare in comparison. The art is from Robert Bonfils.
 Actually, from my perspective, I’m enjoying this just as much as if you'd taken your dress off. 
Above, the cover of Al James’ Born for Sin, 1960, from Nightstand Books. James was aka Al James Hjerstedt, the son of writer Day Keene, who was born Gunard Hjerstedt. Harold McCauley art on this.
 Considering I’m utterly tripping balls this actually came out okay. 
Above is the cover of the sleaze novel LSD Lusters, published by Greenleaf Classics for their Nightstand Books line in 1967. Author John Dexter was a pseudonym inhabited by a number of writers, including Robert Silverberg. Because of that, we don’t know who actually wrote the book. But they must have been high when they agreed to do it. Art is by Darrel Millsap.
 How exactly did I superglue my breasts to a mirror? Well, that’s actually an interesting story... 
We saw this over at the excellent and comprehensive website triplexbooks.com and couldn’t resisting borrowing it. Alan Marshall was a pseudonym that was inhabited by Donald Westlake and possibly others, which makes it highly collectible. Not only does triplexbooks sell this item, but they also make it available for download. So tempting. In fact, we’d definitely do it if it turned out that a character actually superglued herself naked to a mirror, but we’re pretty confident we’d only be disappointed.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1967—Boston Strangler Convicted
Albert DeSalvo, the serial killer who became known as the Boston Strangler, is convicted of murder and other crimes and sentenced to life in prison.

In the U.S., eleven thieves steal more than $2 million from an armored car company's offices in Boston, Massachusetts.

Despite this, all the members of the gang are later arrested. 1977—Gary Gilmore Is Executed
Convicted murderer Gary Gilmore is executed by a firing squad in Utah, ending a ten-year moratorium on Capital punishment in the United States.
