NEW BOOK: Dressing For Pleasure


Thank goodness that John Sutcliffe, the creator of AtomAge, did not suppress his attachment to leather when it was diagnosed as a symptom of mental illness. Had he not tried his hand at sewing together a bunch of leather with his landlady's sewing machine, winning the attention of many a lady rally driver, this enigmatic collection of photographs certainly would not exist.

In the 'best of' this short-lived magazine, women and men pose in their households. Floral curtains, family photos and backyards are the standard backdrops in which these folks transform into their own fantasy sex icons.

And sorry, but I will be the first to borrow it.
