Naked as a Jaybird is a new book from Taschen chronicling the 8-year lifespan of Jaybird magazine, which rode the hippy wave into a new "groovy nudism." Published under
various titles, from Campus Jaybird to Amateur Jaybird and even Women's Home Jaybird, the magazine found a gray area between naturism and porn, all the while embodying the same
distinctively playful design aesthetic that typified the counterculture (think
album cover art and
Laugh-In). Here's
an interview with Dian Hanson, editor of the Taschen retrospective and an interesting person in her own right.
