Picture_Life_Jul54

This July 1954 issue of Picture Life by publisher Martin Goodman under the Atlas imprint aimed to dispel "Five Lies About Blondes" - among them that blondes "excel at love," that "men prefer blondes," that "blondes dominate hollywood," and that "blondes are bad marriage bets."

Pocket-sized magazines like this one measured less than six inches tall and contained a smattering of pin-ups, news, sports, and gossip.
