As a kid in the sixties, I remember actively thumbing through the seemingly endless number of store/fashion catalogs delivered to our house. Long before my teen years, I was mesmerized by the “older” model’s beautiful feet.
Does anyone remember the girls in school wearing "clogs", usually with stockings? If possible, I always positioned myself at a desk behind a girl with an unobstructed view to her feet, which inevitably slid in and out of the clogs, driving me nuts. Distracted learning at its best.
In the early seventies, with access to friend’s older brother’s Penthouse stash, I feverishly searched the “Letters to Penthouse”, and while infrequent, tickling stories did appear, along with entries from Madam Xavier Hollander, who also revealed being extremely ticklish.
From that point, my girlfriend(s) were involved and we would look for stories in Variations, having an entire section devoted to tickling only once a year or so. That lasted through most of the Eighties, until ads for tickling specific material began to show up in the mags. I still can’t believe how much I paid for those early VHS tapes, with a 99% disappointment factor!
