Great

This was published when male models looked like they were going to become outright celebrities in the early 80's. And then they didn't quite make it. It's a slight book, of course. Each model has filled out a PLAYBOY Playmate type questionaire. But I loved it soley because the book includes among the male models ANDY WARHOL!!!!!!! Isn't that great????? Warhol became a fashion model in his last years becaue "it was the thing to do." His manager was furious, since Warhol was being paid an hourly modeling rate to appear in ads, when he could have gotten a much bigger endorsement rate. But Andy was having fun. Anyone who remembers flipping through GQ and ESQUIRE in Andy's last years will remember seeing him in fashion ads. That Andy was included in this book shows the author/publisher had a sense of humor. Warhol himself once said a clerk in a shop looked like he recognized Warhol. And Warhol thought, "Oh, he recognizes me as an artist." Then the clerk said, "Weren't you the model in that Barney's ad?" Warhol said that "it made my day. It made my month. It made my year!"
