Pin-up Style

Here's something in the tradition of the great pin-up masters like Alberto Vargas and George Petty. The kind of gal the GIs would hang in their bunkers or Fly Boys paint on the nose of their B-17s. The girls that helped win WWII. Although, I wonder if any were quite as bold as this one.

There is no question that the golden age of pin-up was during World War II and Korea. World War II was a time during which almost anything was allowed in an effort to boost morale and unit efficiency. But, as is the case with most things, a free hand led to some excesses and some censorship is evident in some of the artwork.

Class in session

I have this fantasy for a class, like a continuing ed class taught at a community college, where couples can come for sex ed. Not the biological sex ed that got skimmed through in high school gym, but the type of tips and techniques that are usually found in bookstores in the self-help relationships section. How great would it be if there was a class where people could actually talk to and then watch demonstrations of sexual techniques? Pretty fine indeed.

I'm sure it'd be popular, and maybe even save several marriages.

So many...sexy things

So many things make this image sexy. Where to start? 

How about the fact that she's in a car? (Notice the seat belt on the edge of photo). 

Or how about the fact that she's wearing stockings and a bra and nothing else? (One of the sexiest combinations of lingerie I think everyone can agree). 

Or perhaps--could it be that she's shaved herself completely smooth, except around the ring of her anus? (The hair there, and lack of it elsewhere seems to only draw more attention to her ass, inviting a finger, a tongue, a toy, or a ready cock.)

Snack Break

Sometimes, when she was studying late, like during finals, she needed to take a study break. Sometimes because she was hungry for food, and sometimes because she was hungry for something else. 

Kayak Trip

After only a few days on the river, they realized that wet sandy clothes were no fun. Being nude was far easier--faster to dry off, faster to warm by the campfire. And no one in the group had any problems just being nude out in nature. Seemed perfectly normal, and part of the rhythm of the days you fall into when on river trips.

Flapper Quickie

In a hotel room in Paris in the 1920s. This is what a quickie was all about. 

Semi-Naked in the Passenger seat

A great image of a very sexy lady. Wondering: is she on a long road trip, and relaxing? Is she on a date, and getting bold? Is she responding to a dare? Or is she the instigator?  

So many possibilities, all of them good.

Skinny Dipper!

Star Spangled

Ready

What could say she's ready more than her grasping his cock with one hand and parting her lips with her other?

A lovely image found on a tumblr of many lovely images taken by a couple, which can be found here: qcyngcpl.

The audition

Is she auditioning for them, or are they auditioning for her?

Flip Flops

I love the moment when you get to the beach and you reach the soft sand and kick off your flip flops and carry them the rest of the way.

X-Girlfriend Pose in Corner

We never really broke up, but we knew we were no longer officially dating when she moved to the East Coast for grad school. We sort of stayed in touch, but time and distance began to set in. About a year later, she returned for a visit. She was house sitting for her friend Holly, where she used to rent a room when we were dating. She invited me over. Suddenly, being back in the same house, with her, the time and distance evaporated. We were soon doing the one thing we loved to do, our common passion for photography, and especially nudes.

She was always an eager and enthusiastic model. Without any prompting she stripped and said, "Let's make some nudes."

She looked pretty much exactly the same, but I saw that since we'd stopped dating, she'd stopped shaving. I wondered if she'd been shaving just for me, or because that's what society expects a girl to do in a relationship, or if she just didn't really need to care during the months of a cold Boston winter. In any case, I found it new and exciting. Very much like she'd found more independence and self-confidence in grad school. 

One of my favorite photos is her in the corner, her legs open and arms up, as if to say, she's totally open to possibility, totally comfortable with herself. 

Honeyman State Park

Back when we were dating, but not yet married, we camped at Honeyman and so I have very fond memories. The reason to go is for the dunes. You can spend hours climbing (feel the burn), running, and rolling down the dunes. We spent most of our time at Cleawox Lake, where sand, water, and trees come together. On a summer day, tucked out of the wind, and screened from the highway, it is a perfect place to skinny dip. At least, back then.

Now Honeyman is overrun with ATVs. You can hear the whine of the engines for miles, even over the roar of the Pacific. The ATVs are so loud that the ATV "enthusiasts" have to blasting their radios to full volume. They also seem to like to leave their TVs on full volume in the campgrounds, which are packed with giant pickup trucks and RVs.

You should consider this when deciding if you want to camp here. There will be noise. A lot of noise.

I miss the old Oregon. 

Leaving a load

Polaroid, Inspired

So, I'm pretty sure this is a modern photo with a "polaroid" plug-in added (complete with the fake thumb print in the corner). But even if it's not truly vintage, it's still unquestionably sexy. 

So sexy.

Rocking her pits

Here's a girl proud. Go girl.

Bettie, oh so bad.

As long as we're showing some sexy vintage photos that are a little small and of lower resolution quality, I thought I'd share a couple rare images of Bettie Page, the iconic pinup. 

Bettie modeled in an era of the Comstock Law, which meant any image that wasn't clearly "art" could be  deemed "lewd" and send the model, photographer, and publisher/distributor to jail. Since there's no clearcut line between "art" and "porn," courts often made the arbitrary distinction of "can you see pubic hair?" 

"Art" like a Greek statue, had no pubic hair, whereas "dirty" pictures showed pubes. As a result, the famous images of Bettie performing bondage in her spike heels and bull whips don't show her nude at all. No nipples, and certainly no pubes. In that way, the sexual content was implicit rather than explicit. And although some could easily argue that the bondage images are far more "lewd" than the simple sight of a pubic patch, the clothed, but implied BDSM Bettie were harder for a court to rule on what exactly was breaking the law. 

So it is very rare to see an image of Bettie (or any famous model from the 1930s-1950s) posing the way we see today--girls with open legs, splaying and spreading for the camera. Luckily, these images of Bettie survived. Although the image quality is not the best technically, if you can imagine it being taken with a digital camera today, it would certainly have a very contemporary feel. Bettie was certainly 50 years ahead of her time.

Free Bird

“I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You’re just as free as a bird!”

Summer Memory

I know this image is a little small (we try to keep our images fairly high rez) but isn't this just gorgeous? Three beautiful women sunning themselves on a flat rock. A lovely summer memory, long ago.
