Top 6 Christmas Beefcake - Where’s the Beef?!




Beefcake searches always leave me wanting, especially at Christmas time. Could it be that only gay men consume beefcake?

Last year I nominated the top 10 Christmas neo pinups. I thought I’d see what beefcake had to offer in that category. It’s a short list this year. As always, a search for beefcake is much tougher, as they seem to be scarce (in relation to their female counter part). Always leaving me asking that age old question: Where’s the beef?!

I’ll start off with this excruciating Shawn Connery, to the left. I don’t know what the hell the man was thinking, but there you have it. I know this isn’t a Christmas themed beefcake, per se, but he’s so festive in that red fetish get-up... Just look at him as my Christmas gift to you. Laugh

On with the list!

Bettie Page - This Revolution Will Happen Between Your Thighs!




“God approves of nudity. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they were naked as jaybirds.” ~ Betty (Bettie) Mea Page (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008)~


Many articles have sprouted about Bettie page in the past couple of days. The details of her death and turmoiled life are all over the net. Most articles don’t elaborate on the standard Wikipidia article. I’d like to do something a little different, to contribute to the flood of eulogious articles and take a look at this fascinating 1950’s sexual icon.

#77 The Bi-Weekly Bombshell: Bettie Page Dead or Alive?






Articles (such as this) started popping up, last week, about Bettie Page being in critical condition. For a week I scoured the internet, trying to understand hat was really going on. I’m sad to report that on December 11th, queen pinup, Bettie Page has passed. She will be missed.

Her acting agent, Mark Roesler, has created a memorial page in her honor. It’s a beautiful way to pay last respects.

#76 The Bi-Weekly Bombshell: Kelly Hsiao's Bay Area Pinup Photography




The sweety to the left is just one of Bay Area Pinups’ satisfied customers. Bay Area Pinups is the brain-child of Kelly Hasiao. It’s a pinup and boudoir studio located in San Jose, California that specializes in 1940's-1950's pinup photo shoots, as well as classic boudoir photography. If you’re not a California resident, I still recommending stealing a peak at the site, where you can find gorgeous (and diverse!) neo pinup girls, like this one.


Special thanks to Liz from Bay Area Wedding Coordinators for calling my attention to Hsiao’s wonderful work.

Stylish First Ladies - Pinups in the White House




From Jackie O to Michelle Obama, first ladies are stylish, formidable women. Here’s a look at stylish first ladies - pinups in the white house.

First Ladies are usually not regarded by their sexuality as their job is of real substance. Most of them weren’t beautiful, or fashionable (a fact that would change with the coming of the television into every American home). But some were, And others had fantastic photographic moments.

Martha Washington - The First Lady

Wife of George Washington, Martha Washington was the first First Lady. She was the first to define the job and make it a meaningful one. We may be used to the white-haired matronly image of Mrs. Washington, but this painting reveals a graceful and proud woman with her best frocks on. Defiantly a formidable role- model for First Ladies to come.

Pinup Pop - Glamor Girls of the Music Industry


<< Last The Pinup Shop Update: Supporting the Troops the Pinup Way!

#74 The Bi-Weekly Bombshell: GOP Pin-Ups Next >>


From Marilyn Monroe to Christina Aguilera, The music world has brought out some of the biggest pop pinup icons.

More than any other industry, the music industry is known for some outrageous costuming. It isn’t customary for a woman, today, to dress up as a 1950’s calender pinup, but pop stars all over want to. I say let’em and see what a beautiful world this could be Winking !

Marilyn Monroe - The Icon


Marilyn Monroe was mainly a movie star, but we all remember her for her delightful singing voice, as well. What she wore, in her time, was really typical glamor wear, but this woman set trends that would be copied decades later. I think this proves it’s not the dress that makes the woman, but the woman who makes the dress. Back in the 1950’s and today women everywhere want to copy the look, and some of them are the biggest pop starlets around.
