1000 Pin-Up Girls

<p>"Girls, Gags & Giggles," ran publisher Robert Harrison's recipe for dishing up pin-up to the American male. Men loved his tasty dishes, <b>a mixture of strippers and starlets</b> dressed in outfits so fetishistic no one noticed they were never nude. While other magazines delivered the girl next door, Harrison's publications banked on <b>bad girls in satin and leather, fishnet stockings, and six-inch heels</b> performing slapstick stunts straight from the burlesque stage.<br> <br> Harrison lured his readers in with <b>vibrantly painted covers</b> by top pin-up artists <b>Earl Moran, Billy DeVorss</b> and, most famously, <b>Peter Driben</b>. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition celebrates this eye-catching candy with <b>every single cover from Beauty Parade, Wink, Titter, Eyeful, Flirt, and Whisper, from 1942 to 1955</b>, as well as interior spreads, featuring, among others, <b>a budding Bettie Page</b>. In an age when far more graphic material is the norm, 1000 Pin-Up Girls celebrates an <b>era of pin-up and pulp style to fuel your erotic imagination</b>.</p>
