This is the story depicting the golden age of the magazine industry between 1966 to 1973.Before 66 its was all about jock straps and Greek statues coming alive, after 73 the hard core craze made these magazines obsolete. But in that window of time thousands of very young men posed for unknown photographers for a couple of bucks. You never really saw them in films, they shined brightly and briefly in the magazines and like comets through the sky, flickered once or twice and than faded away leaving you wishing for more. Those newly endowed and younger types were the grease that ran the sleaze factories machines in the late 60 s early 70 s. We searched high and low to bring you HUNDREDS of models and added LIVE RE-ENACTMENTS to bring that magic back and make you sigh in wonder.

Worth It For The Pictures!
Paper Dreams isn't perfect, but it's worth the money for all of the beautiful pictures. Why can't guys have natural bushes these days? I loved seeing all of that beautiful hair!

just...ok?
not quite what I expected, maybe my fault for not reading closer - definitely a decent overview on the subject, but some of the narration and "copy" made me roll my eyes it was very very cheesy...some of the other choices of the production made wish they'd aimed a bit higher, I'm not sad I watched.

Pretty interesting dvd selection
This has to be the best Toby Ross effort I have seen. This is an interesting history worked in with what was going on in the world that influenced changes in this media along with the impact of vhs. Well worth watching.

useless
The worst quality item I have ever purchased on Amazon. Makes the National Enquirer look like fine literature.
