A SEXUAL MEMOIR

ELULA PERRIN

Translated from the French by Harold J. Salemson

French

Educated in French convent schools, married in traditional fashion, Elula Perrin at last broke the

chains of sexual convention and came out as a lesbian. Her true story is defiantly and forthrightly told.

The intimate details of her sexual encounters with women, her life as the owner of the chicest lesbian night club in Paris, and the accounts of gay life on

the Riviera, make this an absorbing and revealing work.

LEATHER

GUEST

FOREVER

I used to be a Levi's man...

but then I stopped by Leather Forever's shop and tried on a pair of Sedgefield's new button fly jeans. I was hooked. They fit lean and clean, like jeans should. The size I bought was the size I got: they didn't shrink, wrinkle or pucker. And they got softer faster than Levi's ever did!

My button-fly Sedgefield's are now my favorite jeans. Try 'em. They'll soon be your favorites too.

And here's the best part: they're only $18.00 a pair!
