Status is another of the most famous "men's magazines" that began to be printed in the early 70s. Along with Ele Ela and Homem.
These were the magazines that you could find on top of our uncles' closets on a holiday season and get caught up in the bathroom admiring the naked bodies of the beautiful women of the time, for the pride of the men in the family!
With circulation beginning in 1974 this and the new wave of great magazines for men are evidence that our military governments were not as severe as they have been described in the dominant literature since then.Here is the first of many of Status magazines posts:
