Each a "Zee Zee" publication, the digests served as pitches for exotic dancers on the runway route. Zee Zee Martine was a dancer herself, and who better to publish new and promotional material on the exotic dancer circuit of the 1950s?
It is quite possible the auteur amazon also took some of the pictures, though a few photographers of the opposite gender were identified. Zee Zee enlisted the help of Evelyn West, AKA "The Hubba-Hubba Girl" as editor, and together the dancing dames profiled their women friends, took ads for lingerie and dished the dice on who was bouncing around where. Each some 50 pages.
They sold 4 x 5 photo sets, cribbed naughty cartoons from wherever and ran more pastie covered photos of their runway girlfriends than you can imagine. I suspect the girls were allowed to sell these in clubs, there was no subscription offer really...and as such they are for the most part lost. Relics from 50 years ago, when a dancer packed her costume in a trunk and hit the road.
