Pinups

So, I decided for my second post I would try to get away from the whole.  "Naked Mother Goddess" thing and put up something fresh.  I wanted my readers (er, reader) to know that I don't only like awkward naked women.  Therefore, this post will be focused on pinup girls... oh wait.

But not just any pinup girls.  I want to focus on the girls of Alberto Vargas.  Which weren't naked.  Or fat.  Or too awkward.

Just look at that sexy hat!

When I see pinup girls I think, WWII planes.  That's probably because many adaptations of these lovely ladies adorned the noses of WWII aircraft.

That's not suggestive at all.

Primarily, Vargas worked with air-brush and watercolors, giving the paintings that distinct "soft" look.  The pictures almost seem to glow which is one of the reasons I adore Vargas Girls.

Legs are a common theme.  Healthy women have legs.

Another thing to notice is that these girls aren't rail thin and skinny.  Oh, sure they have the ideal body, but they aren't wasting away like some of the celebrity icons today.  These women were real women who exude confidence.

Vargas also refrained from nudity.  They were suggestive, alright, but never vulgar.  Which totally gives him classy-points in my opinion.

Vargas Girls are the epitome of pinups.  When someone thinks pin-up girl, usually their mind goes to one of Vargas' conventions: red lipstick, red nails, retro hair, vintage look (achieved through the medium), thin toes and fingers, idealistic proportions, etc.  So if you're going to be a patron to the pinups, Vargas is the man to see.

One of my favorite artists thus far.  Congratulations.
