French Venus: Joelle Dorio

Due to a request from a reader (we're frankly amazed that there are any at all!) we present all of the  pictures of Mlle Joelle Dorio from Penthouse from 1966.

This issue was labelled as October/November as at this stage Guccione wasn't managing to get out an issue a month yet. They had had problems with printing enough copies due to the high demand for the new magazine.

These pictures were taken in Corsica by Philip O Stearns the magazine's art director. Joelle was the thirteenth Penthouse Pet but this was the fourteenth issue as first Pet of the Year Amber Smith had also been Pet in September 1966 as well as her original pictorial in October 1965. In the first year the Pet of the Year replaced the Pet of the Month and wasn't in addition to her as in later years.

This was the first time Penthouse had shot a pictorial abroad. The magazine must have been making money! This picture is also  the first time a Penthouse Pet had been photographed in water!

Joelle was from Brittany and was nineteen when these pictures were taken. Rather depressing to think that she would be over sixty now!

Extreme tan lines!

This is a nice painterly photograph!
