They are from a 1958 ADAM Magazine, Vol.2, No.4, and all of them are on the javasbachelorpad link. Here's an excerpt from the "article", describing what they are about:

"...a shopping trip to the Sea and Jungle Shop in nearby Glendale for the proper sort of leopard-skin Bikini in which her future could be shaped up."

Aaah, the Sea and Jungle Shop, where I bought my first Tiki! What a place!

Well, she's nice too, but I don't understand what they mean with the ending sentence:

"What ADAM wants to know is how all those dirty old clamshells, idols, gizmos and bananas got into the act..."

?! Don't they know that Tikis and Chi Chis are ALWAYS a winning combination!

Along those lines I am happy to direct your attention to a brandnew publication from the house of TASCHEN, fine publishers of the BOT.

Not to be mistaken with their recent MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINE book, they are coming out with the complete history of MEN'S MAGAZINES

Though I prefer the originals, it will be nice to see a lot of unknown stuff, I especiallly dig the smart cover concepts of 50s mags like "Caper","Duke","Jem","Monsieur", and "Gent".
