EDITOR'S PAGE
This is truly a nude era. Can it be possible that censorship of the nude male
form should be the last inhibition to be shed in our sophisticated media? Some
of the public may be tired of nudity, yet apparently there are still those who
feel the need for physical recognition. As recently as this year we have seen
the rebellion of streaking fade in and out.
You have been culturally prepared for FOXYLADY by the other women's magazines.
You have the power to choose. FOXYLADY is another approach to attitudes that have
evolved from this new consciousness.
We will not dwell on subjects that have been discussed to the point of redundancy.
We will promote a more contemporary social viewpoint as we celebrate the advantages
of being a female in the '70's. The time has come to use your sexual politics
to make yourself happy. . .and we will tell you how.
There is more to FOXYLADY than erotic pictorials. We will provide an informative
perspective in often-ignored areas of interest to women.
With recent economic woes troubling most of us, I feel a need to inform readers
on what to do to combat inflationary conditions. This first issue includes an
article on a revolutionary concept in banking, The First Women's Bank of New York.
The bank should be a prototype of future institutions existing primarily for women.
The various methods of contraception are still topics inviting many pros and cons.
This is especially true of the contraceptive known as the Intra Uterine Device
(I.U.D.). Many women have been subjected to scientific experimentation with the
devices without being aware of its dangers. You could be one of them.
In this issue Kay Cassill interviews actresses Katharine Ross and Paula Prentiss,
who are presently filming The Siepford Wires on location in a typical suburb in
Connecticut. The film makes frightening absurdities seem as though they could
be possibly existent. The film may offend certain women, and it should, but it
will awaken others to their manipulation by community politics. Ross and Prentiss
portray subordinate housewives who eventually recognize their own painful naivete.
Our film reviews this month will be slightly out of the ordinary, as they do not
critique the commercially-produced films you might expect. Virginia Wexman reviewed
the Chicago Women's Film Festival, a collection of films created by women. Unfortunately,
many of our readers may not have the opportunity to view these films due to discrimination
by national film distributors. I saw most of the films at the festival and was
overwhelmed by their excellence. Hopefully, the reviews will stimulate producers
to invest in more intelligent and incisive cinema creations.
You'll find the remaining articles as penetrating as the pictorials. FOXY-LADY
is the ultimate combination of femininity and liberation—she is truely the
sensuous woman. Let me hear from you.
