Title: Coming Out Party

Best things about this cover:
- "Don't mind me, I'm just taking a bubble bath in the sink..."
- Man, Charlotte Rae was *hot* in her youth.
- Soap bubbles look more like shaving cream.
- If nothing else, her right nipple will be very clean.
- Girl in doorway is striking a very unsexy "sexy" pose.
- Did "coming out" have the same meaning for gay people then as it does now?
Best things about this back cover:
- Front cover calls her a "houseguest," but this blurb makes her sound more like a sex slave.
- You can't just go out there and start sinning. You have to train. With a master.
- Oh, "Greenwich Village!" Well, you know what that means ...
- "Cute but topless???" I think you mean "and."

"I'm not a good actress, but I'm a real sexpot in front of an audience. Or in front of a camera. I found out that it does something to me. I get all excited. And I'm pretty sure that it registers on film. Isn't that important?"
And of course he then makes her prove it. Cinema!

This was the first midwood book my wife and I read. It was a blast! It's got a bit of your vintage sleaze but it turns out be quite a good story. I love those Midwood books and the ones with Paul Radar's covers are amazing!
It's a myth that you can only become a sinner by training with a master in an apprenticeship program. It is often more convenient to take a two-year certification in Sin at your local community college, or, in some states, to enter a training program offered through the Sinner's Union.
"Soap bubbles look more like shaving cream."
The title Coming Out Party may actually be a hint as to what the "soap bubbles" really are, i.e., we're witnessing the aftermath of a bukkake party with her kneeling in a pool of 'champagne' foam after a load o' blokes've been giving their jeroboams a jolly good shaking.
