Pin-up art — a morale-booster for troops fighting overseas during World War II — is making a comeback, or will be if a California woman has anything to say about it.

Gina Elise, 26, is bringing retro back with her third annual "Pin-Ups For Vets" calendar, which features herself in costumes and poses that were popular among America's fighting men in the 1940s. Profits from the sales of the calendars provide assistance to U.S. military hospitals.

Just ordered one calendar each for my two nephews in the sandbox,

Probably won't get to them, since the muzzies won't allow that much exposed skin.

Where there’s a will there’s a way. Military guys are quite resourceful.

I’ve learned quite a few things in my 35+ years in the military and you are correct. BUT, just don’t get caught.

Re: the one on the right. It’s true! Yeomen do have better legs. /Old Navy joke punchline.

I wonder if this is the same lady who does the Progressive.com commercials. There's a striking resemblance.

Depends on who catches you.

Google up some more images, i highly doubt you’d still see any resemblance.

As I understand, “guilty” is a negative assessment of a young woman’s attractiveness. I think you mean “not guilty” by the context of your remarks.

The terminology seems to have originated in FR threads regarding female teachers who are accused of having sex with a teenage male student.

She has a calendar?

Nice, but....

Myra Veronica visited the troops. Now THERE’s a moral building woman!

Heh! For your father’s sake, one can hope the girl in posts 12 & 13 had a grandmother at March Army Airfield doing similar posing for the soldiers there during WW-II.

Maybe I’m just weird, but I’d much rather spend time with that young lady than the any of those others ...

Not weird at all...a man of taste.
Of course, a night with her little sister can be fun too:

She’s the first female USAF helicopter gunner. “Bringers of Death!”

I like the quiet girls in the Corps:

But I'll bet our Troops overseas miss the homegrown girls from backhome:
