I Buy
Beautiful Women
As I mentioned earlier in the week, I am closing
down the Poor Man Survival blog site by Thanksgiving due to lack of input and
support. I am recreating a site I used to
own back in the mid-1990s …one devoted to
Hollywood glamour girls and the pinups popularized by American aviators during
WWII.
I
have fun with this and thought there might be an off chance some of you might
enjoy this effort as well…
This was the title of the first website I
owned in the mid-90s. I bought and sold
pinup calendars and related items. It
tied into one of my eBay accounts called Exotika Erotika where I sold books,
photos, card decks and pinups. [now
you’ll find such items at RetroGuy.net].
In
those days we only sold original items, not reproductions or computer
generated, laser printed goods. Many
others started selling knock-offs and crap and the market [and the fun] kind of
withered away.
At
any given time I had as many as 100 or more images hung on my walls throughout
my house…the old pinups were more about pretty faces and great curves. They got their big start in main stream
society as a result of WWII aviators who had such images painted onto their
airplanes [they already had their favorite cheesecake photos taped to their
lockers].
In
many respects, this art form is unique to America. Erotic art, devices, and symbols, on the
other hand, go back more than a thousand years.
There are museums in Germany and elsewhere which are devoted strictly to
erotica…
I’ll
be posting my ‘RetroGuy’ stuff periodically and it will include various genres
of exotic women from famous pinups to cartoons and retro jokes and cocktail
recipes to very vintage images from the early 1900s [ironically, some of the
best art created by Vargas is from this time frame] and beyond.
By
today’s standards, these photos and images are mighty tame and I will keep it
that way…in fact, often the best aspect of a pinup is the wonderfully made up
face and the curves are a bonus. It has
always been my opinion that most every woman is beautiful and they simply need
to learn the best ways to capitalize on their best elements.
A few useful things you need to know…
Take a moment and visit our revamped online store…
For Men Only…
The
campy, the sexy, the odd, the risqué and retro [and even the practical] Gifts
he’ll appreciate!

P.S. I’m still working on more pictures and
content for the site and hope to have a section on vintage men’s magazine
covers, cartoons and posters done soon!
