It seems clear that Penthouse was purposely trying to be reminscent of
Kate Bush with their Kate Simmons pictorial.  It's not true however
that the pictorial was only in the UK edition--it *did* appear in the
U.S. addition.  I know this because I was seventeen at the time, and
sent off to spend the summer at Harvard Summer School.  Being a
seventeen year-old horny guy, off on his own unsupervised for the
first time, who could avoid buying a few taudry magazines?  This was
the summer of 1979.  Ironically, I was quite familiar with Kate
Simmons long before I ever heard of Kate Bush.
