Controversy
In Dolly's May 2007 issue, controversy reigned supreme when a picture of a runway model without underwear, appearing on page 24, was published for all to see. The accompanying caption complete with arrow to the model's nether regions said in part "Umm, we think you forgot something". Editor McCahon claimed that "It's a long story involving mag terms like "dyelines" and "corrupted PDFs", but we did cover the area originally, and the little spot we used somehow fell off the page just before printing and we didn't notice". Major supermarket chains pulled the issue off the shelves, and copies returned to the newsstands with a spot covering the model's nether regions. As a direct result of this error, newsagents across Australia have reported a spike in sales.
