Life is a series of exciting challenges for Australia's beautiful Cheryl Ain Rixon, whose impish charm has made her a darling of the New York disco set. Cheryl's career blossomed after her first appearence in US Penthouse, and the one-time sexy "dumb" blonde of Australian television soap operas went on to become on of New York's most sought-after-high-fashion models. With that mission accomplished, Cheryl set her sights on Hollywood, and it wasn't long before movie producer Steve Krantz signed her for a starring role in Swap Meet. Cheryl worked with Bert Convy, Bobby Riggs, Phil Silvers and Bjorn Borg on Racquet, a light-hearted, back-handed look at the very rich, very bored tennis set. And if that wasn't more than enough to keep the former gymnast and dancer busy, she opened her own boutique, Rarity, in New York's chic shopping district. How does she find time for modelling, films, business and being snapped for the daily papers when she goes dinning and dancing with stars like Elton John and Sylvester Stallone? Photographer:
In 1965, Bob Guccione, a struggling artist with an entrepreneurial imagination, started a magazine called Penthouse. Due to his lack of resources, Guccione personally photographed most of the models for the magazine's early issues. He spent long hours, and sometimes, several days, to complete a photo shoot. Although he had no professional training, Guccione applied his knowledge of painting to his photography, establishing the diffused, soft focus look that would become one of the trademarks of the magazine's pictorials. These images offered more sexually explicit content than other gentleman’s magazines of the era, establishing Penthouse as a well known name amongst its competitors.

Although Bob Guccione's formal training amounts to a one-month stint at the Art Students League, his entire life has revolved around the art world since the age of 5, when his aunt gave him a book of impressionist reproduction. As a young man living in Europe and North Africa, he furthered his artistic pursuits by painting and sketching for over 20 years. His sense of light, form, and movement can be attributed to the past 30 years he has spent behind the camera lens. Finally his lifelong acquisition of old-master, impressionist and post-impressionist works has greatly influenced his use of inert color. Although he is known primarily as a businessman, and owner of GMI and its 17 publications, he states that "my greatest passion has always been art." Featured Video:
