Pinups for Vets
Supporting the Troops: Part 1
By Daniel Muniz
Gina Elise wanted to show her appreciation to the people who has served their country in our armed forces and especially to our troops deployed overseas and to all of our injured vets in VA hospitals. So she decided to create the "Pin-Ups For Vets" project which consists of calendars and posters featuring herself as the model for all of the photographs.
Gina Elise chose the pin-up art that was popular back in the forties as the central theme of all her modeling. Since the pin-up girls of that nostalgic era boosted the morale of our troops who served in WWII, she believed that this project could the same for our vets of today. This native Californian then set out to find a way to recreate the image of that bygone era. The result is the "Pin-Ups For Vets" project which pays tribute to our troops and helps raise funds for our injured vets in veterans hospitals.
The photography is elegant and tastefully done and truly reflects the innocence of the greatest generation. In fact, Ginas modeling and layout is so classy and well-done that many wives and girlfriends of vets have bought them as gifts to their loved ones who are deployed overseas.

She’s almost the spittin’ image of Dita Von Teese. If those guys can’t appreciate a glamour gal like that, they probably don’t have a pulse. :-))

1) Bravo for the past age of innocence. Any one of these classics is a hundred times more evocative than the junk you find on the web today. Truely a lost art in the post-Playboy era (and by that, I mean anytime after about 1964.)
2) I hope that these delightful images don't get our boys in trouble with our few Muslim allies, who get snippy even if you, their defenders, even have a nightcap.

Dear [PE],
Wow...I just wanted to thank you so very much for your generous order.
One for you, and two for vets and two for deployed military. I am making a trip to Walter Reed in January...and your order has brought be closer to my goal of bringing at least 100 donated calendars to the Wounded Warriors there! Also, I get LOTS of requests from units overseas for calendars...so your other two will go out some those requests. Proceeds this year goes to the polytrama unit at the LA VA.
Curious, how did u hear about the project, [PE]?
I will send your calendar our tomorrow.
Please pass on the website to any friends/fam who would be interested in supporting this project, as my largest challenge to date is getting the word out there. Thanks so much, [PE].
