Happy Halloween, Jordan Carver
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I am not the first to point out that Halloween is the one day of the year when even the most prudish of women find a good excuse to get out and get slutty. Everything from French Maids to Naughty Nurses, lovely ladies from all walks of life enjoy to slut it up and wear next to nothing. For this reason I give All Hallowed Eve a great big round of applause. Today The Bastion celebrates Halloween with Jordan Carver dressed as a Sailor Girl. If Jordan came to my door I'd offer both a trick and a treat!
Happy Hallowe'en: Witch Venus by Gil Elvgren
The celebration of All Hallows Eve in the UK has increased enormously over the last decade. When Agent Triple P was a child it was not marked at all. Indeed Triple P remembers being invited to a Hallowe'en party in Banff in Canda in 1994 and still finding it odd as a peculiarly North American thing. After all, we have Guy Fawkes night in the UK. Sadly, the latter is falling out of fashion in the UK due to health and safety concerns over the public letting off large amounts of explosives willy nilly (alright, we know that gunpowder is not technically an explosive) and politically correct notions that burning effigies of Catholics is perhaps not acceptable.
Anyway, we will be in an Arabian country this evening so we are sure that there will be no Hallowe'en antics at our hotel and certainly no costumes as fetching as S's belly dancing one from that first Hallow'en party in 1994. So we will just leave you with this nice Gil Elvgren witch and note that she isn't a real witch as her broomstick is suspended on wires!

New blog: the Seduction of Venus
Just a quick note to highlight our new blog: The Seduction of Venus which can be found here.
http://theseductionofvenus.blogspot.com/It has been created mainly at the urging of our particular friends S and B (otherwise known as the Eastern and Western hemisphere women).
The title picture of the blog is Leda and the Swan by Heinrich Lossow (1843-1897). The Munich born artist produced pastiche style rococo-style oils and some more graphic (in every sense) erotic work.

Denise Milani plays Doctor
In the spirit of the costume season we tip our hat to Denise Milani, one of the bustiest babes in all of cyber-space. In this photo-shoot Ms. Milani dresses up as a nurse. Can you see her out trick or treating this holiday season dressed like that? I think I would have a heart attack if she showed up on my porch asking for candy.

Venus with a snake 4: Lilith by John Collier
Lilith by John Collier (1887)
We have examined the paintings of John Collier previously:
However, one painting we did not look at was Lilith (1887). This painting, which is currently in the Atkinson Art Gallery, Southport, is quite a large canvas (200cm x 104cm).
Lilith's mytholgical background is complex. Ultimately it is thought that her background is in Sumero-Babylonian legend which tells of a winged female demon who kills children and endangers women giving birth.
Babylonian terra cotta relief thought to depict llith (circa 2000BC)
In turn she is close to Lamashtu a Mesopotamian female demon who in turn is very similar to the Libyan Lamia; a female serpent demon we looked at in our piece on Herbert Draper.
Things get more complicated when later Jewish literature known as the midrash (designed to explain inconsistencies in the Old Testament) posits her as Adam's original wife created at the same time as him from the earth. In these stories Eve only appears on the scene later after Lilith walked out on Adam (Eve was a replacement, in essence). A 13th century Kabbalah text, the Sefer ha-Zohar ("The Book of Splendour") written by the Spaniard Moses de Leon (c. 1240-1305), is coy about why Lilith abandoned Adam. An earlier 11th century text (the Alpha Betha of Ben Sira (Alphabetum Siracidis, or Sepher Ben Sira)) is more explicit and says that it is because Lilith refused to have sex with Adam as he wanted to be on top. She said that she was equal to Adam and was not going to be submissive (sounds very like a particular Jewish young lady we used to know!).
It can be seen how such a woman would appeal to the Victorian appetite for evil women who attempt to dominate men. Later, in medieaval times she became more associated with the idea of a succubus and personified licentiousness and lust. Succubi would have sex with men in their sleep causing them to ejacualte in their sleep. This was used a as way of explaining wet dreams: how else could chaste members of the clergy wake up covered in spunk? Monks would sleep with a crucifix held over their genitals to ward of these succubi.
Lady Lilith (1864)
Lilith is, much more than Eve, the personification of destructive female sexuality. Music to the ears of Collier and his contemporaries who loved a bad woman. Dante Garbriel Rossetti had also done a painting of Lilith but she has nothing of the indulgent sensuality of Colliers version. Rossetti's symbolism is more subtle than Collier's. His painting, which depicts a modern Lilith not the mythological version, shows her surrounded by white roses, symbols of sterile passion and poppies, symbols of death. More tellingly, she is combing her long hair. To Victorians luxuriant, unbound hair on a woman was a symbol of vigourous sexuality; even wantonness. Rossetti's Lilith is spreading it and displaying it. Finally, she is presented as uncorsetted; the corset representing discipline and control over a woman's own sexuality
Colliers painting, from two decades later, doesn't feel the need for this symbolism as his Lilith is literally being embraced by sin, in the form of the snake. The log, unbound hair remains however.
More women with snakes soon.

September Venus: Mickey Winters
Mickey Winters from September 1962
Well, we did have to go abroad for 10 days or so so am now even further behind. We will try to catch up this week as, at the moment, it looks a bit quieter.
Talking of behind, September's clear winter is Mickey Winters from September 1962. Photographed by Don Bronstein in the straw (not hay as the magazine text maintained), she looks like every naughty farmyard fantasy. She is one of the most inviting Playmates of the sixties. Who could resist. Its the naughty straw in the mouth, of course. Mickey was a diminutive 5'0" tall but a rather awe inspiring 36-18-34. We can't think you would find a Playmate with an 18" waist these days!
Angela Dorian, September 1967
A close runner up was Miss September 1967 Angela Dorian and her splendid hammock shot by Carl Gunther. She became Playmate of the Year in 1968. Dorian had an acting career under her real name of Victoria Vetri and was most famous as the cavegirl in Hammer Films' When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1971). Last week the 68 year old Victoria was charged with attempted murder after she shot her boyfriend (can you have a "boyfriend" at the age of 68?) during an argument in their Hollywood apartment. He is expected to survive but she faces life in prison.
Debbie Ellison, September 1970
Our third selection is another horizontal centrefold (surely the best kind), Debbie Ellison photographed by Pompeo Posar (is that the best name ever for a glamour photographer?). Apart from the pale charms of Miss Ellison herself we love the muted autumnal palette. The rug, which adds a lovely tactile quality, reflects the colours of the (vine?) leaves in the background and the inviting looking picnic basket suggests an enjoyable (if perhaps a little chilly) afternoon of dalliance.
Laura Richmond, September 1988
Our fourth and final horizontal Playmate is the lovely Laura Richmond. There are three things that draw us in to this photograph. Firstly, Laura is a natural redhead, a mutation Triple P is particularly fond of. Secondly, those invitingly conical breasts thrust out of the photograph taken by Stephen Wayda. Finally, its the lacy stockings; very much a fashion item of the period. Our girlfriend at this time, SA, actually bought this issue for me and promptly went out and bought a pair of stockings just like this when she saw my enthusiaistic reaction to Laura's. SA, herself, had exactly the same colouring as Laura here (down below; sadly she had dyed the hair on her head blonde). One of our all time favourite Playmates.
Samantha Dorman, September 1991
Our final selection for September is our sole vertical format centrefold, Samantha Dorman from September 1991. She gets the nod for her superbly sculpted 36-25-36 torso; beautifully lit by Richard Fegley to catch every smooth contour. At 5'10" she's also got the legs.

Centrefold Venus of the Month 16: Dawn Shaw, September 1976
Dawn's centrefold
We have a had a request for more images of the voluptuous Dawn Shaw, who, as she was Pet of the Month for September 1976, nicely fills the gap of Centrefold of the Month for September which we didn't have time to post last month.
Unlike some other Pets, Dawn never reappeared in the magazine which is a shame as she possessed a sensationally ripe body caught perfectly by Earl Miller in his photo shoot.
Even covered they're still impressive!
In reality she was a rather unusual body shape for a Pet at this time; being built more like a Playboy Playmate.
According to the text accompanying her pictorial she was a perfectly believable 38-24-36. She has a trim waist, a lovely back with one of those elegant clefts down the middle, cute dimples, a world class posterior and, of course, that bust.
Sadly, from Agent Triple P's point of view we don't see nearly enough of her bottom but this superb shot, complete with alarming mid-seventies platform shoes, is fair compensation.
No, it's largely about Dawn's impressive upper works which, given their splendid nature, is sort of understandable we suppose.
We even get some of the tit squeezing that Penthouse pioneered in the sixties. Part of Guccione's efforts to show his girls preoccupied with their own sexuality (and before more graphic self caressing could be shown) Newsweek rather churlishly wondered if they were not instead "looking for lumps".
Dawn has those large areolae that big busted women often have. In fact she is built almost exactly like an old girlfriend of Triple P's, SA, who had a very similar look.
Again, in Triple P's experience, girls with large areolae tend to have nipples that lie flat rather than erect. SA needed to be licked into prominence but it is not clear how Dawn reached her perky state in these pictures; maybe the self tweaking helped!
One of the best Penthouse shots of the seventies. Dawn reclines like a particularly naughty nineteenth century odalisque
Another part of Dawn's anatomy that receives some loving attention is her nice bushy pussy. 1976 was the year when Penthouse got into labia big time, having been rather coy about them in the past.
Even when they did start to show them they were often lit in such a way that they looked a rather murky brown colour all the better to (nearly) blend in with the dark and bushy pussies of the period. In fact, UK magazines in this period continued to tint photographs that showed their models' bits in order to push them more into the background.
Dawn's pictorial was really the first when the girl's bits had been displayed in all their healthy, natural pinkness. Her pussy hair is bushy but not so bushy that she isn't revealed for all to see.
This picture has a Courbet-like quality about it. Dawn, with her hands behind her head (which helps to pull her bust up) lounges like a Parisienne courtesan displaying herself with an insouciant elan. Non, je ne regrette rien!
The final aspect of Dawn's pictorial which marks it out from most of those that have gone before is in how many shots she has her fingers on her pussy. Able now to move on from simple tit squeezing Dawn touches herself more than any previous Penthouse Pet.
Dawn cups it, teases it, strokes it, caresses it but she can't keep her fingers off it.
So Dawn, in many ways is a prototype for most of the Pets that would follow, at least as regards the focus on her pussy. However she has more than enough other admirable attributes to be more than just a pretty girl flashing her bits.
Above all she demonstrates something that would become increasingly rare in Penthouse: a smile. Because if there is anything sexier than a beautiful, naked girl it's a beautiful naked smiling girl.
