I have always loved pinups. The best of them are not only sexy but also witty-- just about anyting for WW2, sumptuous-- Royo and Olivia, elegant in line and execution-- Vargas. As a 59 year old amply proportioned woman, I neither want to look like this nor desire to make love to it. They make me feel good about being a woman-- the best of them. Since I was brother deprived and shy, I learned flirting from pinups. I love the art involved-- and the range of it, in you face, plump and rosycheeked, emaciated and ethereal, Dream like and surreal, dangerous and vaguely fascist. Especially like Petty girls and Vargas for whom a lovely indominable woman can be expressed in almost a single exquisite line or curve. Pinups are a good challenge to begin with in Poser because they don't involve much setting-- some of the best look so good on plain white. And they depend on pose and camera angle-- so excellent to try out new Poser skills without being overwhelmed. And because they are so independant of decor, they are also terrific to go back to when you think you know Poser well, Just to see if you can handle the barest [sic] minimums and still deliver a killer render. I love male pinups to, but oh boy are they hard to accompish. [should have put another sic in there] The fine line between sexy and stupid looking is much finer in male pinups and very hard [sic] to keep on the right side. In a word, hetero-male pinups tend to look dumber than their gay counterparts. Just my opinions as usual, Emily
