Cheryl Ladd Magazine

CCF06132010_00005

Cheryl Ladd,Volume 1, Number 3. November 1978. I don’t have the cover, which I probably had on my wall. Someday soon I’m going to scan this whole thing, not so much for the articles as the advertisements. They are right out of 1978, and anyone who was around then should love them. The Bay City Rollers posters is one example.

I’m not sure what publisher to put here. Dell distributing, Celebrity Parade, or Lorelie Publishing Co. Inc. It’s hard to find info on this magazine, cause when you search for “Cheryl Ladd magazine” you get a ton of magazines that had Cheryl Ladd in them. Anyone have any info they can share?

Stevie Ray Vaughan in Guitar World Sept 1988

CCF06132010_00002 CCF06132010_00003

Guitar World, September 1988. Stevie Ray Vaughan on the cover. Plus, a Who’s Who of the Blues. I was looking for some examples of sexist advertising, but the Marshall amplifiers ad with Yngwie J. Malmsteen is as close as there was in this magazine. I was really surprised at that. Lots of ads had that ’80s heavy metal hair band stuff though, so I’ll probably scan some of them soon. And one ad for some mixing equipment had a floppy disk, which surprised me.

The Premier Issue of Snoopy Magazine!

The very first issue of Snoopy Magazine. Winter 1988. Apparently there is Spring and Fall 1988 issues also. I don’t know if there were any more. You can see the coloring on several pages, that’s what I get for having younger siblings. See if I ever do that again.

I used to really be into Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang. I heard an interview with Charles Schultz and he said the syndicate gave the comic strip the name Peanuts. He would have named it Snoopy or Charlie Brown or something pretty plain. He said as the strip developed that Snoopy would have been the perfect name for it.

I really related to Charlie Brown, the loser. But I didn’t care for his shirt. I was once working on an article for publication where I tried to develop the Charlie Brown – Generation X connection. Feel free to steal that idea, or if it’s been done, please let me know ’cause I want to read it. Why doesn’t Amazon DVDshave a complete collection all in one box?
