378. "Celebrity Skin" Hole

Celebrity Skin
1998

1998 was only like, what, five years ago? "Celebrity Skin" was, at the time, a nudie mag that sold on newsstands that had photos of famous people naked on beaches or in backyards and such.
My friend had an issue that had Mamie Van Doren showing off her 80 year old boobs in her mansion.
I really have no idea what the demographic for this magazine was. Maybe there was one 80 year old dude who had waited his whole life to see Mamie Van Doren's tits, but I doubt he even heard about this magazine. Too bad. They were pretty nice.
But my point is, what industry has suffered more from the advent of the internet than nudie mags? I would grant you "travel agents", but really, who ever used a travel agent? Just people going on cruises. EVERYONE looked at nudie mags. But now, you could see Mamie Van Doren's tits for free just by highlighting that last clause and hitting CTRL V, CTRL P, enter.
No idea if "Celebrity Skin" is still published. I hope not.
Not for any moral reasons, I just hate to think people are spending money on what they could get for free at What Would Tyler Durden Do?

"Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future.
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures."


I know I'm prone to hyperbole, probably more than ANYONE, EVER, but there will never be a better lyric written telling someone to move on. It's over. I don't love you anymore, and I never will again, and if you keep doing this you are just hurting yourself.
I mean. Jesus.

p.s. Another fan made video. These things are starting to seem like they are better than the official ones. Well, this one was just OK, but I like the quick cuts during the chorus, and the animation. SPOILER:  The girl does not show her boobs. I thought she might show her boobs, but she does not, in fact show her boobs. Still worth a watch, though.
