This inside front cover feature, Beauty Briefs, is from Charlton's Pictorial Love Stories #23 (1950). And you might want to avert your eyes, because...well, there are some skinny shoulders ahead!
Well, you could write this off as a one-time thing, not a crisis. After all, they had to come up with a new "crisis" for Beauty Briefs to solve every issue.
But just 3 issues later, in Pictorial Love Stories #26 (1950), guess what body part looms large again?
You know, I've been a guy for quite a few decades now, and I've never heard another man talk about a woman's shoulders...never. I guess guys were just a lot pickier in the 50s??
Anyone, as in our last vignette, Carol finds a mentor for her problem:
Or, you know, just don't wear off-the-shoulder dresses?!? Oh, what do I know...I'm a dumb guy.
Did someone mention Eye Of The Tiger?

I dunno, shoulders can be pretty. Not anywhere near tops on my list, but I wouldn't reject it out of hand as nuts to think about.
On the other hand: "THOSE arms wouldn't keep a fellow very warm..." ????? That's something I've never heard of as a male desire. Certainly if my wife wrapped her arms around me, they would get warm from the heat of my body, not the other way around, unless I'd been out rolling in the snow while she sat by the fire or something...
Wow... what a fabulous pair of... shoulders?
