My friend John Brownlee—if you could call a withered human corpuscle, a sort of caustic, flapping bladder striped with pipe grease useful only to scare women into your bed with taunts of “At least you’re not fucking that!” a friend—has discovered this fantastic set of scans from Glamour Photography entitled “The Great Cross-Country Girl Hunt,” aptly referring to it as “a Bang Bus for more innocent times.”

I haven’t read all the copy, but there is compelling sultriness to the photos that rides the spectrum from lurid to adorable, interspersing shots of female hitch-hikers straddling fence-posts with shots of girls “with the pixie puss.”

As the article notes, “The cocked camera is a good enough intro with any dame.”

No nudity, but plenty of bras and underwear wrapped around legitimately gorgeous mid-century cheesecake.
