1000 Pin Up Girls
Taschen
Girls Gags Giggles this was publisher Robert Harrison s recipe for dishing up the American pin up to the U S male In the 1950s his girlie magazines sold by the millions before becoming icons of pulp and trash culture These skilfully illustrated girls with their curvaceous forms and inviting lingerie soon overtook America s national dessert in terms of popularity and even developed considerable potential as a cultural export during the 1940s Never show everything was always the motto Smiling prettily at the camera the models exuded just the right amount of sex appeal without seeming too sophisticated or artful They were the girls next door whose wholesome attraction soon made one forget the magazines deliberately trashy presentation Their rosy complexions and innocent allures still titillate even in an age when far more graphic material is the norm For everyone who enjoys pin ups push ups and pulp style
