Page 1 [view] Page 2 [view] - » Cover: From the 'soft core' pornography magazine Club International. This issue included a 4 page photo spread of a (supposedly) naked Lalla Ward. In fact the photographs were taken from a film called "Sweet Virgins" which she starred in. After this magazine was published Lalla pointed out that the pictures were not of her but of a body double. In response to this a few issues later the magazine printed an apology. (The cover is the only item from this publication that is, and will be, shown on this website!) Club International, Volume 10 Number 3, 1981 [view]
