PUBLISHER'S STATEMENT
I have been told imitation is the most sincere form of flattery — but it's
coming from unexpected quarters. Chip Goodman, publisher of Swank magazine, must
have heard about Cinema X's astronomical sales figures because now the man who
formerly would not even accept advertising for porn films is now hustling multi-page
reviews of hardcore flicks into the pages of his mag. So be it — but I hope
he doesn't follow the precedent set by Al Goldstein, of Screw, and give every
'cooperating' producer a 100 % rating on his flick. Even with present film budgets
pegged over the $100,000 mark, all films are NOT real winners. I believe adult
film audiences deserve the totally honest, qualified reviews that appear in Cinema
X. Every production CAN'T be rated 100%. No way! I wonder how long editor Manny
Newhouse can last with 'Porn Stars'. And I wonder when Swank mag. will throw a
coming-out-of-the-closet party for Chip Goodman. Hear he has to pay people to
come to his own parties.
On the brighter side, you readers have broken our mailman's back with your fantastic
response to our January issue centerfold star's invitation to write to her in
care of us. In the face of the mailslide, who else could be chosen to be the prize
in our Win-A-Dream-Day contest than sex-queen Marlene Willoughby? Both male and
female readers over 18 are encouraged to compete for a day with a star who can
sing and dance and cook (for real!) and who is single, hot, and horny! Your entry
blank is in this issue. Fill it out and fulfill your fantasies.
Keep those letters rolling in to our Fan Mail Forum department. We're pleased
to print the most interesting, and we're careful about withholding your name and
address, if you ask. Promptly after her first appearance on our pages, our Rising
Star of the Month always pulls in a ton of appreciative mail, which we forward
to our newcomers to adult films. In upcoming issues, you'll meet knockout performers
like Tina Blair, Lee Carol, Angel Cash and Cathline Woods. Climbing to the top
box office billing is really rough — ask those who've made it. New stars
give their all, and do their level best to answer every letter our readers send
to them.
While I always try to be the first publisher to spotlight new screen talent, magazine
space restrictions make it impossible to give every upcoming star her well-deserved
publicity. To choose just one Rising Star from the abundance of fabulous faces
and figures, each month, is the most difficult part of being head of Cinema-X.
But as an advance tip, look for a big-busted blonde in next month's HAPPENINGS.
Pepper Bond is cutting a wide path through filmdom's studs. As her pictures will
show, after a night with Pepper, her men are left too weak to gasp appreciatively
. . . Now! That's entertainment!
