Tony Crater by Target was the centerfold model for Mandate magazine in January, 1978. One of my personal favorites. I had that magazine for years. Years!
January, 1978. Saturday Night Fever and Close Encounters of the Third Kind were playing in the movie theatres. The Bee Gees song How Deep is Your Love and the Styx song Come Sail Away were in the top ten and rotated frequently on the FM stations. On January 25th, the Great Blizzard of 1978 slammed the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region for TWO days burying the vast area with up to three feet of snow. It is considered to be one of the worst blizzards in U.S. history.
Come for the nudity, stay for the history. 🙂
P.S. Tony was a Playgirl Man of the Month model in September, 1977. PG called him John Alexander. Personally I think his Target photos were far better.
