Pin Up Girls - does anyone else like these

Postby Gneiss » Wed Mar 05, 2014 1:23 am

I've posted this previously on DS and thought I'd give it a go here:

My interest in these started with a German poster advertising a lamp, but since then I've discovered a whole host of this art mostly dating back to the 50s.

These ones by Gil Elvgren

What do others think here of it? Any other samples?

Yes, I like Alberto Vargas, he did a lot of work for Playboy back in the day.

They all look the sort who'd be right up VILS' street.

Oh how stupid do I feel now? I wish I'd thought of embedding the images like that. I'm so used to posting on DS that I forgot you can on most forums.

Thanks for posting them... :thumbsup:

True, I think they airbrush the hairs off. :dunno:

Here's a good site.
Still non-hirsute though.

I like the art, but it's rather kitsch.

they seem very tame today
what with extreme perversion at our fingertips

but in their day
they'd spoil many a young lads socks...............


i do like the figures back then
real women, with lumps bumps n curves


very nice :thumbsup:

For me that's all part of the charm of them...

I think they can be appreciated on many levels.

They are tame by today's standards but that is the charm.
Gotta love a pin up girl :canny: !
