...hey, you fogrot to tell them what we're gonna DO today,DUMMY!
.....oh, yeah, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT PIN-UP PICTURES! 

The earliest known illustrated poster, or "PIN-UP", if you will – a woodcut of 1491 advertising a Belgian edition of Jean d'Arra's Histoire de la Belle Melusine – may also have been the earliest use of sex appeal in the graphic arts to sell a product… This relatively crude poster showed the heroine, Melusine , taking a bath.

Turn-of the Century "PIN-UPS"

The entire period 1910 – 29, but especially the second half of it, stands in history as a time characterized by a greater liberalism and a more emancipates feminine ideal compared with the periods immediately before and immediately after it.

In 1939 the feminine ideal underwent a clear change… The decent female type of the 1930s gave way to a more glamorized type with greater sexual appeal and heavier makeup. The corset made the bust higher and more pointed, the waist was more clearly defined and slender hips became more rounded. This dream girl, promoted alongside and in contrast to the respectable ideal woman, gradually broke down the barriers of taboos and demands for decency, until in 1939 a sexier feminine ideal came to the fore… The freedom that women had achieved in the post-[World War I] period could not be maintained when the economic crisis began to take hold in 1930, leading to the Depression throughout the Western world. The feminine ideal changed almost immediate from the emancipated and self-confident tomboy ideal of the 1920s to an elegant, 'ladylike' ideal… This was a feminine ideal that clearly indicated the altered position of women in society – a return to old ideals and the old pattern of gender roles.

Perhaps the single most famous wartime pin-up was of Betty Grable, with her 'million dollar legs'.

In the 1930s and 1940s the Petty Girl and the Varga Girl… were no more or less than sexual objects – vivid, yet unreal, functioning in their own world, the fantasies of men.

 

...to more "modern" times....

And  we all know who this is for.....

Hey, Canteen gals!  Got any pin-ups of "HUNKS"?

Good night and sleep well, Tonkin. Hope you had a terrific Coast Guard Day. God bless you good for your service to our country, both those years ago, and now in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Canteen. *HUG* Good night to momma cat and mojo and morgan and sarge and snowball, ms run-a-muck, her kitties and Sylvester, wherever you are.

Commence firing...

 

With cash in their war chest and momentum on their side, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth launched yet another blistering television ad against John Kerry.

The ad features one of Kerry's own swift boat crew members, Steve Gardner, refuting Kerry's decades-old claim that he and his crew were in Cambodia. Here is the transcript of the ad:

STEVE GARDNER:   “I spent more time on John Kerry’s boat than any other crew member.

John Kerry hasn’t been honest, he’s been deceitful.

John Kerry claims that he spent Christmas in 1968 in Cambodia and that is categorically a lie.

Not in December, not in January.

We were never in Cambodia on a secret mission, ever.”

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
