The Rialto Report recently acquired the archives of Stag magazine – the long-running men’s journal which had a strong focus on the New York adult film scene in the early 1980s.
The collection includes extensive, unpublished photographs from parties, orgies, events, and salacious photo shoots organized by the magazine and its mustachioed editor, Richard Milner. They give a unique insight into the era, and feature the usual cast of characters, including Sue Nero, Marlene Willoughby, Gloria Leonard, Kandi Barbour, Gerard Damiano, Marc Stevens, the Sloan twins, Lisa Be, Al Goldstein and many more.
A selection of these pictures are shared here for the first time.
All photographs are © and owned by The Rialto Report. With thanks to Vincent Dawn Jr. for assistance.

Wow, Excellent Archival photos. Even Mario Van Pebbles in the mix. Great Finds,
That is actually Mario’s father Melvin van Peeples having fun at that private party.
How you guys manage to still find collections from over 40 years ago is INSANE!!!!
Amazing!!
Kandi Barbour looking young, innocent and happy. Those were the days 🙁 These pictures are so fresh, and bring the era alive. Thank you for the most amazing oral history / archives imaginable.
I look forward to Sunday afternoon every week.
Awesome Article Keep Up Good Work
I would pay good money for a nicely printed book of these and other behind the scenes shots form the Rialto archives, just sayin!!
My bad I meant Melvin Van Pebbles
Poor Kandi. Just gorgeous.
That pic of Candida , gorgeous.
Sharon Mitchell in last photo!
Nope. Not even close. It’s Marlene.
Wrong. Its not Sharon – it’s Marlene Willoughby.
What planet are you on??
That’s obviously Marlene Willoughby.
Incorrect, my friend. Can I interest you in new eye glasses?
Such great shots.
Thank you folks at the Rialto report for more wonderful content
Lisa Be with the beautiful girl next door body. Mmmmm.
Great Pics!!
I can only imagine the fun Sweet Sweetback had that evening…
There is something profoundly sad about the picture of Kandi Barbour…like the camera caught her in a real moment…something in her eyes. I really wish she had had a happier life and found fulfillment. To me she is one of the most beautiful of all the adult actresses.
