Bittersweet Penthouse Memories

Former Hustler executive editor Lee Quarnstrom shares an insider's farewell to Penthouse at Salon.

Hopefully its premature.

Choice bit of prose:

Now, lots of folks aren't going to mourn the passing of Penthouse any more than they'll bemoan the demise of the Oldsmobile. There are plenty of other cars on the market and there will be plenty of smut available on newsstands as well as online.

But I had some good times in an Oldsmobile I used to own and I had some good times, I admit, with Penthouse. ...I've always admired the way that Penthouse has tried to convince American men that small-breasted "naughty" young ladies are sexy, too -- quite a challenge in a culture where big boobs seem to be the primary sexual characteristic men look for in a woman.
