EDITORIAL NOTE If it ain't one thing, it's another," to quote the late, very funny lady,
Gilda Radner. I'm sitting at my typewriter in late September,
days away, hours almost, from yet another birthday, one that I'm not particularly
looking forward to. It's hot and humid in sunny southern California, but tomorrow
I'll be in Wisconsin, where it most likely will be cold and raining (or snowing).
One Thing's sure, I won't have the right clothes in my bags. I never do. Plan
for cold and it's hot. Plan for hot and it's cold. Nowadays when I travel I try
to pack a little of everything, just to be safe. It looks a little ridiculous
to go away for a weekend with three suitcases and a steamer trunk (the airlines
don't look on it too kindly either and charge accordingly), but what's a guy to
do? Better to look ridiculous and have just the right thing to wear for any occasion
than to be uncomfortable and improperly attired.
Of course, after twenty years in Los Angeles, where cold is 55 degrees and freezing
is 45, maintaining áwardrobe for absolutely frigid parts of the country
like Wisonsin (a state I'm not even sure really exists) is difficult. Especially
when you've spent those twenty years avoiding travel to colder .climes except
in the summer, when you can be reasonably certain you won't freeze to death!
But looking at the bright side, maybe a couple of cold days will freeze my face
in place, so I won't have to worry about more "laughter lines" for awhile.
On second thought, I've seen people who have spent years in the cold and they
don't always look that smooth.
Casey Klinger, whenever I bring up the subject of aging (my aging—he's ageless,
of course) always hastens to assure me that I look wonderful. Maybe it's true.
I'm still gorgeous and the Pope's still Polish.
Why, you might be wondering at this point, with a milestone birthday looming,
am I traveling to Wisconsin? Well, readers, if there's one thing you can bet on,
I'll be back in L.A. for the big day. Klinger has all sorts of celebrations planned.
Another sure bet around here is that changes are constantly taking place.
We recently made a lot of changes in our OBSESSIONS magazine—more pages,
more features—and now it's STARS turn! So I'm off to Wisconsin to look over
a new printer for the
magazine. I'll be inspecting printing plants and color separation departments
in anticipation of those changes we'll be making to the magazine.
We're going to add more color pages, so we can give you even bigger layouts of
those hot models you love so much. We might even be presenting more models in
every issue—if we can find enough of the kind of men that made STARS famous.
And that can be harder than it sounds, believe it or not.
We also plan to expand our MALEBOX and make it truly international in scope. That
should satisfy all of you guys out there who spend so much time writing to pen-pals!
Would you believe we had one guy just today who sent thirty (30!) letters to be
forwarded? And I thought I was a prolific writer!
We also have some other changes in mind which we will be implementing over the
coming months that we think will make the magazine better and you, our loyal readers
happier than ever. What will those other changes be?. Well, you'll just have to
wait and see.
Mr. Klinger just walked into my office and started reading over my shoulder. He
told me to be sure to include the fact that all of these improvements are going
to cost money. So prepare yourselves. The cost of STARS will be going up soon.
What a surprise, huh? Let's face it guys, everything costs more today than it
did a year ago, but we've held the line on the cover price of this magazine at
the same-rate for almost four years now. Aside from that, Klinger and I need new
minks!
Now that I've rattled your cage, it's time to talk a little about this issue.
We've chosen three stories that we think you'll enjoy. "Hot Springs"
is my favorite this time out, but we always try to choose stories with a broad
appeal and judging by your letters, we hit the mark more often than not. And the
young men who grace our pages this issue are I think some of the hottest models
we've ever had between our sheets. Take my word for it.
And if you don't like what you see, remember, STARS
is here for your pleasure. That's why we have our Chat- - ter page— so you
can sound off. Do it.
Now, enjoy another issue featuring "Tomorrow's MehToday."
