*Girls- Gags & Giggles* - this was publisher Robert Harrison*s recipe for dishing up the American pin-up to the U.S. male. In the 1950s- his girlie magazines sold by the millions- before becoming icons of pulp and trash culture.These skilfully illustrated girls with their curvaceous forms and inviting lingerie soon overtook America*s national dessert- in terms of popularity- and even developed considerable potential as a cultural export during the 1940s. *Never show everything-* was always the motto. Smiling prettily at the camera- the models exuded just the right amount of sex appeal without seeming too sophisticated or artful. They were the *girls next door* whose wholesome attraction soon made one forget the magazines* deliberately trashy presentation. Their rosy complexions and innocent allures still titillate even in an age when far more graphic material is the norm. This is for everyone who enjoys pin-ups- push-ups and pulp style!****Features:*** Hard Cover Book*** For everyone who enjoys pin-ups- push-ups and pulp style
