“There was absolutely nothing to discuss last night in the magazine store. No hesitation. No one else’s approval was needed to buy the May ’14 SCORE. Not with Dolly Delight on the cover with her tight top and long, blond hair. And now something new and even sexier: stone-washed, cut-off jeans!” writes longtime reader  B.S. of Chicago, and that’s no BS.

Pick your favorite TSG magazine cover and tell us why it’s your favorite

May 20, 2012 by Elliot James

In the ’90s, print distributors and retailers began inserting mens magazines into sealed, plastic polybags. They’re opaque and only transparent at the top where the title is printed and at the bottom for the bar code. This was started for a number of reasons.

They keep those rude and naughty covers discreetly concealed from irritating juvenile delinquents and old ladies with blue hair and the noses to match.

The bag also keeps the magazine clean. It can contain the DVD bonus without the printer having to bind the disc to the magazine. They also guarantee privacy for subscribers so that a mailman can’t read a magazine first before the reader does.

Those bags can also keep an adult mag rack section from becoming a public library. I’ve heard many an exasperated clerk tell a lingering browser to either buy a mag or put it back on the shelf. I’ve heard it myself a few times when I selfishly went overtime checking out the latest magazines. However, many adult stores crack open one copy of a title so the customers can check out the contents.

Some store employees don’t like polybagged magazines, whether they’re adult or not. Bagged magazines can be hard to scan. They’re difficult to stack on the racks. They’re more labor-intensive to return because the cover must be torn off before any unsold copies are returned to the distributors for credit.

Although the bags are an established fact of print magazine publishing now, TSG still believes that a cover should be created with the highest quality in mind, even though many readers will never see it until they get home. So we spend the time to do that, down to the colors, the cover girl and the cover shot.

I’ve posted 12 TSG magazine covers from the last four years.

What I want to know is, what is your favorite cover and why?

What attracted you to that cover the most? Was it the main girl? The smaller photos? A headline?

What makes a great cover?

What makes a weak cover?

I think that covers it!

 

Not a shrinking Violet. A new XL Girl

April 4, 2012 by Elliot James

Violet Addams arrives at XLGirls.com right on the stacked heels of the previous newbie, Marilyn Mayson.

Violet packs her bra with 46 inches worth of 38G-cups. And she likes anal. She went right for it in her first guy-girl scene.

Someone wrote that Violet looked like a more zaftig version of Dana Delaney from the TV show Body of Proof. I see that also.

Violet has a job that fascinates me. She works in an adult store.

Now and then we get a model who’s employed in that occupation. Marilyn Scott and Allysa Andrews come to mind right away, and Sienna Hills owns her own store in Little Rock, Arkansas. “We sell equal amounts of XL Girls, V-mag, and SCORE magazines when we have the most-recent issues,” Violet kindly told me. I liked that she used the name V-mag. Mostly guys work in adult stores, so when a female does the selling, and she’s attractive, I see hope for the retail field in this on-line age. And when we keep finding models like Violet, I appreciate that they’re busty and proud.

Today at SCORELAND, the Busty Ladies of Oil Wrestling wraps up the greasy, slippery, huge-titted, big show. With all due respect to The Rock and his pals, I’d rather see B.L.O.W.

 

 

Those were the days…but there’s nothing wrong with these days, either

January 21, 2012 by Dave

Natalie is somewhat like the sexy, voluptuous Euro chicks I'd often see at the Harmony in New York City (but Natalie has much bigger tits).

The poll currently running in the members area of SCORELAND asks, “How important is adult entertainment to you?” The choices and results so far:

Important. I would miss it if I couldn’t get it: 37%

Extremely important. I must have it: 27%

Fairly important–in moderation. I could go weeks without it: 18%

Not important. I could live completely without it: 4%

Interesting results, and not surprising. My answer is somewhere between “Important” and “Vital To Life.” But here’s what I really want to know: What’s your idea of adult entertainment?

Back in the late 1980s, when New York’s Times Square was a haven for smut (and I mean that in the best way), a few enjoyable hours within a six- or seven-block radius might be spent as followed:

1. Get off the subway. Head on down to the Harmony Burlesque for some dollar-a-minute lap dance excitement. Maybe watch the stage show for a while. Get a lap dance, complete with tits in your face and (at the time) hairy pussy in your hand at one of the sleaziest lap-dance joints there ever was.

2. Head back downstairs (the Harmony was on the second floor of a building just off Broadway, and you had to walk up a long set of steps to get to it). Walk over to Show World on the corner of 8th Avenue and 42nd Street, right across from the Port Authority bus terminal. Catch a live sex show in one of the booths. Maybe go upstairs to the Triple Treat Theater and watch porn stars fucking on-stage (I will never forget the time three girls were doing a lezzie show, complete with dildos and anal beads. Two of the girls stuffed the other girl’s asshole with the beads, then auctioned off the right to pull them out. I think the winning bid was $10). And does anybody remember what was in the basement level of Show World?

3. Back outside. Grab a pretzel. Re-fill the wallet at the ATM machine. Check out the latest releases at the video store just off 42nd and Eighth. Walk up the street a bit to the live peep-show emporium where, downstairs, on stages surrounded by booths like carousels, the girls let you play with their tits and finger their pussies.

4. Now, sadly, it’s time to go back home. You’re out of money. But by the time you get home, you’re horny all over again, so you whip out a copy of a big-boob magazine or pop a VHS into your VCR and jack to Suzy Nero, Chessie Moore, Kay Parker or some other big-tit star.

And that’s a helluva day. It’s a day you couldn’t have today. Few things have changed as much as adult entertainment. Now, SCORELAND can be a one-stop destination for all your adult entertainment needs. No need to leave your home and hop on the train. No need to re-fill your wallet at the ATM. No need to even get dressed. I like that. I like that a lot.

But you know what? Sometimes, I wish I could have one more lap dance at the Harmony or one more live sex show at Show World. But if somebody told me I had to give up SCORELAND to get it, I’d tell them, “Thanks, but no thanks.”
