I really appreciate retro pinup photography and art. A recent post on UFunk featured some classic pinup illustrations and the photos that inspired them.
Despite my own all-too-fragile bony frame, I believe women look better with soft curves.
It’s actually quite amazing to see how little artistic liberty was taken with the figures. Nowadays, nary an image of a woman makes its way into public distribution if she hasn’t been digitally whittled, chopped, airbrushed and remade into something not entirely human.
Although these paintings are far from photorealistic (particularly in the faces), at least the models were honored for the beauty of their natural bodies.

god….they’re all so powerful and beautiful!
I have a mirror with a similar image – turn it one way, and the young lady’s outfit is held together with a belt. Turn it the other way, and an intrusive bird has pulled the belt away, and the poor girl is naked – with the expression of faux-shock that these illustrations love to feature!
Fantastic! Is anyone else having trouble with the link to the original source? I can’t seem to get to any of Ufunk.net’s pages…
