1997 was a transitional year in many ways, including the fact that a low number of new, really big-boobed models emerged. This set of Busty Dusty is a different pictorial than the one published in the print version of this month's issue. "Nudity is natural and it's very good for you," Dusty once said. She proved her philosophy on the three Cruises she sailed on. Colt 45 was the covergirl for January and the freebie in the issue was seven Xmas Colt gift tags. Ashley Bust returned with bigger tits as Plenty UpTopp in February. Alyssa was the cover girl that month and returned in June with Heather Hooters in a rare girl-girl. Naturally huge chested Dawn Phoenix became a SCORE Girl after debuting in V-Mag, proving once again that England kicks America's sorry ass in finding the world's best natural cups. Or is it that buxom Englishwomen are more gung-ho to show? Frenchwoman Lolo Ferrari pounced upon the world with the goal of being a superstar. Honey Melons, now retired, gave us a nice, raunchy interview with lots of info about her pussy rings. The October issue was practically owned by Rocki Roads. Whitney Wonders was hot, new and ready for action, but only briefly. A Russian girl who called herself Kathy introduced herself and would SCORE a lot of assignments over the years. Tiffany Towers decided to pack it in as fans groaned and wept, and Lulu Devine did her last SCORE shoot in November. Closing out the year, December brought an eclectic mix of new arrivals: Sofia Staks, Heather Michaels, Carrie Lynn, Harley Raine, Jacqueline West (who now calls herself Baby Ice) and several others. The mammoth BC 97 edition capped off a pivotal year of changes and transitions. As John wrote in his introduction, Danni Ashe and SCORE dissolved their Internet partnership, leading to the creation of SCORELAND while Danni became the kind of businesswoman that gives Forbes a hard-on.
