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.

This sounds like a great idea. Sadly, it has generated so much interest that the site is unavailable now (at least at that link).

I love it when American's show how you can get it done without having to create a government program or bailout to do it.

N.O.W -if she was doing pinups for Planned Parenthood-—OK

N.O.W-—if she is doing pinups for the military to boost morale-—bad, very bad

I wonder if the girl in photos in posts 12 & 13 had a grandmother at March Army Airfield, where my dad was assigned, doing similar posing for the soldiers there during WWII?

Or worse - they’ll want their own calendar (subsidized by taxpayers, of course).

Ladies fashion has never been hotter than the 40’s.

And I wasn’t even born until the 60’s.
