Classic Pinups

[bobistheowl]

I've always been a fan of those 1940's era pinup drawings by artists like Alberto Varga, Gil Elvgren and George Petty, among others. They have such a playful innocence, and yet are so provocative. Here's one link to a good page which has high quality, reasonably large pictures:

Me too!

Betty Grable, Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, etc.

Back when women dressed nicely, and not like some crack ho' from Shaft.

Also, they were 20-30 lbs heavier, but with the extra meat in all the right places, not like today's anorexic skeletons.

And the guys in the military were allowed to paint pin-ups on their planes. These days, they can't do that due to PC. I kinda feel sorry for these soldiers today in the ME. They can decorate their bunk with clippings from FHM and Maxim, and I've seen that. But that's it -- No SPs, no pin-ups on govt equipment, etc.

Thanks for the nice link! One thing I love about classic pin-up art is the prevelence of girls in stockings, garters and heels!
