Nicely put ,Emily. If anyone actually does want to know more about the historical/social origins of Pinup art the the introduction in "The Great American Pin-Up" by C.G.Martignette/L.K. Meisel, published by Taschen would be a good start. There was a bit more behind it than just naughty pics for soldiers to be hard 'n happy with. And if I could paint as half well as any of the artists represented in it I'd be happy ! Funny how these threads go off on a tangent.....
