Pinup of the Week

In a continuing effort to write as little as possible, I’m introducing yet another series of largely visual posts, this time celebrating the time-honored art of The Pinup Girl—or Pin-up, or Pin Up…you choose, I can’t!

Hot Shots of the Week: A Hard Habit to Break

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, sister. She’s smokin’ even without the cigarette. Wow. Those legs are making me feel the power of Satan coursing through my veins. The power of Christ might compel some, but it can’t compare to the power of those sinfully sexy stems.

Bettie Page: Queen of Lingerie

April 22nd was the late pin-up queen Bettie Page’s 103rd birthday. April 25th was National Lingerie Day. That’s pretty good almost-synchronicity.

Random Image Dump #50

How on earth do you celebrate a momentous occasion like the fiftieth Random Image Dump?? Well, by regurgitating fifty old images from throughout the six year history of this site and pretending it’s something new—or not pretending at all because I’m spelling it out right anyway.
