The 25th anniversary Voluptuous special at SCORELAND wraps up
I remember the day I first saw the debut issue of Voluptuous. Everyone had great expectations, and those expectations were fulfilled. The technical advancements in producing the magazine over the last 25 years are also amazing.
“Any magazine that takes off with the momentum Voluptuous had creates a lot of excitement,” TSG founder John Fox recalled. “Of course, this was before email and the Internet, so our mailman was bringing us a ton of reader feedback every day. It encouraged us but also helped us a lot to fine-tune Voluptuous to be the magazine our readers wanted it to be.
“I think it is a more-polished product now. Few industries have been impacted more by technology than printing. Compared to 25 years ago, the quality of the ink-on-paper is so much better now, and a lot of that is due to a decision we made a long time ago to keep all of our prepress production in-house, where we could control the quality better. That coupled with our really skilled team of great designers and editors and the level of sophistication in the way the models are made up and photographed has added to how Voluptuous has evolved. And, of course, the HD videos that now come as a bonus with each issue. I think that’s just amazing. I sure didn’t see it coming 25 years ago.”
A model recently told me that she got a thrill when she saw her cover issue in a store. I don’t think the web produces that same kind of feeling. But whatever the platform or delivery system, Voluptuous magazine’s slogan, “All Stacked All Natural,” and its dedication to finding and showcasing very special big-boobed girls remains the same as it did in 1994. Some things don’t change.
