Yes.
Considering that that was what he did, write, then add the fact that his stuff was,
probably, two or at most three pages, then you are getting and idea that he was becoming
a name.
That's my take.

Okay. Well, skin mags have dough.
Sex sells.
He got plenty at $275 to $330.
That was good bread.

Yeah, about $1500 in George W. Bush dollars.
Weeklies, tabloids, newspapers, etc. usually pay less than magazines. I think a couple of pages in a mag like that now would probably net you the same pay. Around $1500. A couple of dollars a word.
No way to get rich, that's for sure. ;)
