A year later, with a loan from an underworld figure, he founded \u003cstrong\u003ea publishing empire that revolutionized men’s magazines\u003c\/strong\u003e in the 1960s. His so-called “California slicks” borrowed bad-girl themes from pre-\u003cem\u003ePlayboy\u003c\/em\u003e burlesque titles, featuring big hair, heavy make-up, cigarettes, and cocktails, but in west coast mid-century settings with better photography, paper, and printing. With no redeeming articles, they were too strong for newsstands, but outsold \u003cem\u003ePlayboy\u003c\/em\u003e in tobacco shops and specialty bookstores.\n\u003cp\u003eCalifornian \u003cstrong\u003eElmer Batters\u003c\/strong\u003e invented \u003cstrong\u003eleg art photography\u003c\/strong\u003e the same year, with titles \u003cem\u003eBlack Silk Stockings\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLeg-O-Rama\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTip Top\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eElmer’s Naked Jungle \u003c\/em\u003eand more.

A simultaneous uptick in sexploitation films spawned sexploitation film magazines, including \u003cem\u003eBlazing Films\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBanned\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixties freedom spread to England too, where George Harrison Marks launched \u003cem\u003eKamera\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSolo\u003c\/em\u003e magazines with totally naked models posed to barely hide the banned bits, inventing “top shelf” titles: those not on public display.
