This book is hilarious! I should really move it from my “Looking Good” section (Arnie’s bodybuilding workout, Helena Rubinstein’s beauty book, Bennetton style guide et al.) to the “Sexy Comedy” section (Erotic Dots, The Breast Book, The Strange and Saucy World Of Benny Hill etc.) Below I’ve transcribed each photo’s caption and description, for your reading pleasure. No, not that kind of pleasure! Calm down! (on the left) EAT IT RAW: Raw food is not only good for you. It can also be infinitely suggestive. Compare for instance, the popular but homely meat and two veg with the sensous chams of a raw menu like this: oysters, steak tartare and ripe brie. (on the right) FRESH FIGS: Served with the skin peeled back to reveal the moist pink flesh within. Ewww… THE JOYS OF DANGLING: Believe it or not, a short period spent upside down every day is extremely good for you. An extra supply of bloody rushes to the head, refreshes the brain, and brings about a general feeling of joy de vivre. One word of warning: you need a strong grip for this exercise. A sore head and short neck await the failed dangler. HA HA HA! THE BUTTOCKS: Skiing, deep knee bends, or walking up very steep hills are all good for the buttocks, but for sheer aesthetic appeal nothing can touch this little-known exercise. Loosely translated, it’s called The Feather That Cannot Fly. The idea, as you can see, is to hold a feather clenched between the buttocks. This involves a vigorous and sustained contraction of the muscles. Grand Masters of this exercise can actually walk around for several hours at full clench, smiling inscrutably. P.S. I don’t think this book is meant to be a joke. I think it’s supposed to be taken seriously. -- source link
