Download or read book Pin-Ups written by Gil Elvgren and published by Flammarion. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lovely gift book--available in three striking cover options that will be shipped to customers at random--will beguile a new generation with flirtatious representations of femininity from the 1940s and 50s. Illustrations of irresistible pinup models bring teasing frivolity to a range of everyday situations, organized thematically from morning to evening. From sun-kissed beauties at the beach to ski bunnies hitting the slopes, bedside nurses ready to take your temperature to scantily clad runaways, rakish shipmates to not-so-conscientious secretaries, these smiling cuties are ready for fun. Representations of women who embrace their sexuality--flirtatious but never vulgar--have been around since the late nineteenth century, but the pin-up genre skyrocketed into popularity during World War II. The penny arcade trading cards originally viewed on a peep-show style reel and reproduced here as detachable illustrations feature both established pin-up artists and those waiting to be rediscovered. Each illustration is accompanied by a humorous and memorable celebrity quote.
Download or read book Sex in Public written by Lauren Rosewarne and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite decades of feminist awareness and activism, women continue to be portrayed in outdoor advertising in a limited and sexist manner. The fact that in public space audiences are exposed to such images without choice, renders the issue an important public policy concern. Sex in Public utilises a large outdoor advertising data collection to examine the contemporary outdoor advertising landscape, documenting the routine portrayal of women as thin, white, young and idle. This book examines why such portrayals are concerning for feminists as well as for public policy, and explores the advertising self-regulation systems that facilitate the display of such images. This book criticises sexist outdoor advertising as a form of sexual harassment given that imagery often bearing very strong semblance to pin-ups which would be outlawed in a workplace are readily displayed in public space, reflecting a troublesome public policy double standard. Understanding sexist outdoor advertising as a form of sexual harassment is a new framework that Sex in Public offers to understand, critique and condemn such images.
Download or read book Hot Rod Pin-ups written by David Perry and published by . This book was released on with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Perry, Foreword by Robt. Williams. For as long as young men have been channeling, chopping, and hopping up rods and customs, women - whether loyal girlfriends or trouble-seeking "bad girls" - have been an integral to their scene. In this unique portfolio evoking great 1950s pin-up artists like Vargas and Elvgren, talented photographer David Perry depicts models in and out of cherry-picked rods and customs wearing painstakingly chosen period dress and hairstyles. More than 100 photos present these modern-day pin-ups under three themes: Garage, Cruising, and Race. In addition, essays explore each topic and are also accompanied by pulp novel covers, period mags, and ads that place the photography in a historical context. Captions identify the car owners, photo location, and, where appropriate, interesting car specs and histories.

Book Synopsis The Swimsuit Issue and Sport by : Laurel R. Davis
Download or read book The Swimsuit Issue and Sport written by Laurel R. Davis and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue demonstrates how the magazine encourages individual and institutional practices that create and maintain inequality. Laurel Davis illustrates how the interactions of media production, media texts, media consumption, and social context influence meaning. Individuals' interpretations of and reactions to the magazine are influenced by their views about gender and sexuality, views that have been shaped by their social experiences. Based on extensive interviews with Sports Illustrated producers and consumers, as well as analysis of every swimsuit issue from the first in 1964 to those of the 1990s, the book argues that Sports Illustrated uses the swimsuit issue to secure a large male audience by creating a climate of hegemonic masculinity. This practice produces considerable profit but on the way to the bank tramples women, gays, lesbians, people of color, and residents of the postcolonialized world.
Download or read book TV Snapshots written by Lynn Spigel and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In TV Snapshots, Lynn Spigel explores snapshots of people posing in front of their television sets in the 1950s through the early 1970s. Like today’s selfies, TV snapshots were a popular photographic practice through which people visualized their lives in an increasingly mediated culture. Drawing on her collection of over 5,000 TV snapshots, Spigel shows that people did not just watch TV: women used the TV set as a backdrop for fashion and glamour poses; people dressed in drag in front of the screen; and in pinup poses, people even turned the TV setting into a space for erotic display. While the television industry promoted on-screen images of white nuclear families in suburban homes, the snapshots depict a broad range of people across racial, ethnic, and class backgrounds that do not always conform to the reigning middle-class nuclear family ideal. Showing how the television set became a central presence in the home that exceeded its mass entertainment function, Spigel highlights how TV snapshots complicate understandings of the significance of television in everyday life.

Book Synopsis Pin-Ups Coloring Book by : Editors of Chartwell Books
Download or read book Pin-Ups Coloring Book written by Editors of Chartwell Books and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step back into the golden era of pinup culture as you color in these gorgeous and inspiring women. Whether they're called femme fatales, blonde bombshells, sweater girls, or cheesecakes, they're all pin-up girls--women whose printed image is so alluring that people "pin it up" on their wall or locker to admire. Having seen them in calendars, on pulp novel covers, or as granddad's tattoo, you already know what a classic pin-up girl looks like: sumptuously curvy with a narrow waist and long legs, softly curled hair, a signature red lip, and a touch of glamour, no matter what she's wearing (or not wearing). Icons include Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and the "queen of pin-ups," Bettie Page. Explore this seductive world with Pin-Ups Coloring Book, featuring: More than 120 pages of ravishing line-drawn art to color A display-worthy cover with luxurious foil accents An illustrated full-color introduction Meditative monochrome patterns to color on the back of each page With burlesque roots, the pin-up--burlesque's less risqué but suggestive cousin--gained traction in the 1930s as movie and theater posters and in the pages of Esquire magazine. The drawings depicted an "idealized" American girl who was every man's fantasy, praised for her beauty and elegance. But During World War II, the girls started dressing more provocatively, often in military garb, and posing more seductively. Between the magazines, the calendars, and the postcards, many of the images inspired nose art for B-17 bombers overseas, serving as both protective talismans and as a distraction to enemy pilots. The girls were seen as morale-boosting patriotic icons. On the home front, the women and their images portrayed a healthy respect for female beauty and a love for one's sexuality--cultural signifiers that are as relevant today as they were then. Though pin-ups are more of a subculture today, there has been a modern pin-up resurgence. Now you can take a cue from those pin-up artists and color these lovey ladies any way you like. No artistic experience is necessary, so sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the glitz and the glam of these pin-up girls. Chartwell Coloring Books is the ultimate coloring book series, encompassing designs of every kind. From intriguing abstract patterns to beautiful pictures from the natural, technological, and fantasy worlds, each of these coloring books will soothe the mind and inspire the inner creative in anyone. With so many variations of complex, beautiful designs in each book, you'll have plenty of pages to bring to life. Whether young or old, creative or not, this series has something for you.
