1000 Pin-Up Girls Taschen
Taschen 3836505053 / 9783836505055 Paperback New
"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!

Alberto Vargas Reid Stewart Austin, Hugh Hefner
Bulfinch 0821257927 / 9780821257920 Hardcover New
The legendary pin-up girls painted in the 1940s and 1950s by Alberto Vargas are fiercely fought over by collectors with one Playboy pin-up bringing in an auction record of $71700 at Christie's in 2003. The publishing rights to the artist's work have been tied up in litigation for the past ten years. Now the family is finally able to release a generous new collection of Vargas paintings and drawings many of which are little known or previously unpublished. The famous Varga Girls from Playboy are here of course but alongside these highly sought-after pictures are early unseen works from the 1920s unpublished watercolours rendered for Esquire the celebrated Legacy Nudes and much more. The accompanying essay and captions are by Vargas biographer Reid Stewart Austin whose knowledge of the artist's work is second to none.

Jazz Age Beauties Alfred Cheney Johnston
Universe 0789313812 / 9780789313812 Hardcover New
Despite Prohibition, the '20s was the decade of jazz, flappers and hip flasks. While some took their vote and joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Movement, others, well, took liberties. Compiled here for the first time are more than 200 publicity stills and photos of some of America's first "It" girls--the silent film-era starlets who paved the way for the cacophony of Monroes and Madonnas to follow. Accompanying these iconic images are the stories behind them, including accounts from surviving Ziegfeld Girls, as well as ads featuring them that helped perpetuate the allure of It girl glamour. When rare and striking portraits of these women surfaced on the internet in 1995, author Robert Hudovernik began researching their source. What he discovered was the work of one of the first "star makers" identified most with the Ziegfeld Follies, Alfred Cheney Johnston. Johnston, a member of New York's famous Algonquin Round Table who photographed such celebrities as Mary Pickford, Fanny Brice, the Gish Sisters, and Louise Brooks, fell out of the spotlight with the demise of the revue. A sumptuous snapshot of an era, this book is also a look at the work of this "lost" photographer.

Three appendices include details on Gypsy's will and estate, the original production and Broadway revivals of her play Gypsy, and complete filmographies and discographies.
