martian-tiki, while I like this thread, I think it just crossed from titillation to pornographic
which in "my opinion only", in Tikiland there is a line between Sexy & Sleazy
and things just got sleazy.
I don't believe I have a right to tell you what you can & cannot post & I don't believe in censorship or am I a prude, I just think this may be a bit much for Tiki Central & that is all I will say about it.
just my 5 cents,(Inflation)

My personal opinion is that we don't need a "Bright line" test for such subjective issues and that "it is all good" as it has at least a tangential reference to 60s erotica. In addition, there is a warning of nudity & erotica posted in the heading (which serves the dual purpose of advertising something really "juicy" inside, as well.)
BTW, the US Supreme Court had a difficult time defining such matters.
In Miller v. California, the US Supreme Ct discussed the 3-pt test of no literary, scientific or literary value, and appealing to the purient interest, in order to be obscene and not protected by the 1st Amendment.

I have yet to see anything really bad on this thread...and believe me, I've seen enough porn to know. We take our kids to museums which have paintings of naked nubile women...that's ok? The human body is beautiful and erotic. There's nothing wrong with that. Its that Puritanical side to our society that still has us believing that parts of our bodies are "dirty". You gotta admit, sleaze back then was pretty darn tame compared to now--almost quaint.

Gowland was an amazing photographer. Intersting, he shot many nudes in company with his partner, his wife.

The 1970's can be summed up as what happened after the 1960's! Same crap, different package.
Truthfully people spend too much time looking for approval trying to be or find out what the marketed image tells them they should be instead of just being. It costs us dearly in dissatisfaction and unhappiness since there is nothing to it and not enough to fix what the very problems it creates in us.
I ought to know, I was as guilty as anybody else who ever donned bell bottoms and hated disco with a passion. Now it's all a little bit like The National Enquirer; Something I ignore don't waste my time on.
Silk and skin. A natural body, and an absolutely sensual beauty like some I remember and became impassioned for. Even then, most of the time could only look, long and wonder who they really were underneath. There were some memories of things outside of the box.
Seeing her as she was, That I miss.
I hope she's still alive, I hope she's not unhappy like some ex-fold outs I have known,if I'd have known her in 1972 I could have only hoped she liked 15 year old males, which wasn't likely.

Sleaze is unappealing!

This ad appeared often in mid 60s to early 70s magazines.
I know there's an ad for Mai Kai waitresses on 8mm out there too on a tiki blog I can't find right now.

Martian dude, are you drunk when you post pics? what are you thinking? Maybe im too old.
These last 2 pics of young, and under age females is disgusting, perverted, and border on child porn. Like I tell my kids if it gives you a funny feeling in your stomach that something aint right, maybe its not. Thats what it did when I saw them.
I know there is a warning to the post but does it need to include one that includes naked under age females?
To each his own.
Aloha.

And then there are people like me.
Peter Gowland is great. I have a few photography books by him. You can be sure that all of his models are legal. As for the other, she could be underage, especially, given the sleazy ad and the era, so that's an unknown. Still, it's a retro look at what we were advertising in the backs of newsstand magazines and comic books.

I don't know where Tiki Pop's allegations are coming from. Did martian-tiki post something and remove it after that comment? There's nothing about that ad or the Peter Gowland photo that screams underage to me.
