The Golden Hills before the Silicone Valley:
Three decades of the world’s most spectacular natural curves
Some call it the American obsession, but men everywhere recognize the
hypnotic allure of a large and shapely breast. In The Big Book of Breasts,
Dian Hanson explores the origins of mammary madness through three decades
of natural big-breasted nudes. Starting with the World War II Bosom-Mania
that spawned Russ Meyer, Howard Hughes’s The Outlaw and Frederick’s of
Hollywood, Dian guides you over, around, and in between the dangerous
curves of infamous models including Michelle Angelo, Candy Barr, Virginia
Bell, Joan Brinkman, Lorraine Burnett, Lisa De Leeuw, Uschi Digard, Candye
Kane, Jennie Lee, Sylvia McFarland, Margaret Middleton, Paula Page, June
Palmer, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Candy Samples, Tempest Storm, Linda
West, June Wilkinson, Julie Wills, and dozens more, including Guinness
World Record holder Norma Stitz, possessor of the World’s Largest Natural
Breasts.
The 396 pages of this book contain the most beautiful and provocative
photos ever created of these iconic women, plus nine original interviews,
including the first with Tempest Storm and Uschi Digard in over a decade,
and the last with Candy Barr before her untimely death in 2005. In a world
where silicone is now the norm, these spectacular real women stand as
testament that nature knows best.
