ANGELO EDITORIAL NOTE To anyone leafing through The Girls of Penthouse Number Three, it is apparent that there is a strong flow of sensual attraction in each of the photographs, just as many other facets of each girl are quickly revealed: her feelings about herself, her emotions, the love she feels for those whom she knows, and her desires for those whom she wishes to encounter. We look at each of these stunning women with complete candor, admiration, and longing. They represent what we all yearn for: the promise of love, comfort, joy, passion, and excitement. Every year innumerable girls write to Penthouse, forwarding their photographs, biographical sketches, and aspirations, asking to be considered for feature coverage and a centerfold story. It is easy to understand why. These girls are at the absolute peak of physical appeal— they have breathtaking form, perfect complexion, youth; they are athletic, trim, bouncing with vitality, shimmering with vigor, and ready for adventure. All are justifiably proud and want to show off to the world the fine attributes nature has so generously provided. Several editors and photographers review every application. For the extremely lucky few whose requests are accepted, the joy is unbounded. To be included among the most beautiful women of the world by Penthouse's discerning staff is not merely an honor but could well spell international fame and no small fortune. Careers in advertising, acting, cinema, modeling, and dozens of other glamorous professions are possible for the girls who are selected. Travel, entertainment, clothing, and jewels as well as handsome modeling fees augment the rewards. To present the models chosen, preferred shooting locations, meaningful props, correct makeup, meticulous costuming, and even the right time of day are carefully considered. Readers deeply into photography will appreciate the care with which these superb subjects are portrayed by the photographers' art and craft through the selection of films, special development time, certain filtrations, different lenses, and the use of various apertures and shutter speeds. Aesthetics, technology, timeliness, and timelessness combine to present beauty. The presentation is frank and forthright. And the results represent the quintessence of the modern desirable female. Therefore, it is with pride that we present The Girls of Penthouse Number Three. —The Editors
