'Hustler' 48th Anniversary Issue Hits Stands Today

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Hustler magazine's 48th anniversary issue is available today on newsstands and in digital format. The issue pays tribute to the living legends of the adult industry with a list of ten "Hustler legends." The XXX icons on the list are: Angela White, Abella Danger, Ana Foxxx, Cherie DeVille, Abigail Mac, Riley Reid, Romi Rain, Jill Kassidy, Lisa Ann and Brigette B. The issue also features pictorials of Casey Calvert, Scarlit Scandal and newcomer Annie.  "Outrageous," "irreverent" and "funny" are the words Larry Flynt used to describe what he was looking for in a Hustler cartoon. The issue celebrates the five cartoonists who have contributed to the magazine’s success through the decades and into this century: George Winners, Bob Muleady, George Trosley, John Billette and Dan Collins. In her Publisher's Statement, Liz Flynt speaks about the positive growth Hustler has seen in the adult industry through the years. Today’s performers take pride in their brand and control of their careers. They connect with fans and create and market their own content. However, Flynt also warns that opposition to respect and freedom—both in the industry and the country—continues, and writes, "Hustler will always defend the rights of sex workers, performers and pornographers to do their jobs without oppressive interference. We will always advocate for women's and LGBTQ rights. We will lobby to protect freedom of speech. This is our past. This is our future." Since 1976, Hustler has showcased amateur models in each issue for its annual Beaver Hunt contest. This issue unveils the 13 women vying for Beaver of the Year. Readers are encouraged to pick their favorite model and vote by mail or email. Voters must be 18 or older, and ballots must be postmarked or received electronically by 11:59 p.m. (PT) on 8/31/22. The winner will appear in a full-length nude pictorial and pocket $1,500. Also in the issue, reporter Scott Feinblatt enters the world of roller skating. Recently the sport has seen a healthy growth, as thousands broke through the gloom of quarantine to discover the joys of roller skating. Feinblatt caught up with five skating celebrities and lifestylers to hear their stories and photograph them in action.
