One of my favorite days is coming up,
this week and I’d like to celebrate The Pinup
Blog way. Happy Earth Day
everybody! Every so often I
hear the nonsensical and chauvinistic
claim that female environmental
activists are “grimy”, “dreadlocked” and
“hairy”. While I argue that dreadlocks
are lovely and can be just as kept as
any other hairstyle, I also argue that
leg shaving is my last pitfall as a
feminist and I seriously hope, to one
day, get over the need to moderate my
body in order to be “socially
acceptable”. “Grimy”… well, see how you
look after 2 years up a tree  Today’s ladies are
gorgeous, inventive and environmentally
conscientious, and some are willing to
sacrifice a lot for their cause. Proving
( yet
again) that green is sexy.

 How does feminism,
environmentalism and
community-mindedness find its way into a
pinup calendar? Ask the women of Country
Mamas 2010 Calendar:
Becky Grant, CounterPunch business manager,
writes: How in the world does a pin-up
calendar not perpetuate the problem of overly
simplistic, generic female roles? I asked
myself the same question when I found myself
immersed in a sudsy bucket in a polka-dot
bikini, because it was my intention to show
moms embracing the everyday activities of our
country lives and what do you know? Not only
do we triumph over grittier tasks, we also
make up a fine calendar that demonstrates
well the charm, grace and beauty of life in
Petrolia. We’ve already denounced the fashion
industry with our clothing swaps (known in
these parts as Naked Lady Parties). We’ve
taken on the bureaucracies that try to
control us and their ridiculous policies by
schooling our children the way we want them
schooled, creating environments for them that
allow them to become community minded,
peaceful, compassionate and creative adults.
We are activists against corporate America by
growing our own food, building our own homes,
and living a conscientious, sustainable life.
We have abandoned the American dream for our
own dreams, borne out of our own unique,
diverse, self-determined identities. Buy a
calendar and help support our local causes!

We’ve had a peek at
sexy pilgrims and a whole look at
gorgeous native american pinups, this
thanksgiving, I’d like to introduce some sexy
turkey, into the mix!
It’s a tough
search, but somebody’s got to do it! For some
reason, turkeys are not the typical animal to
accompany a pinup image. Nevertheless, I’ve
managed to find some pro-turkey holiday
cheesecake!
Classic Pinups- A Vegan Peek at
Sexualized SpeciesismI thought we’d
first take a look at the problem. Yes, they
are gorgeous, and girl-next-doorsy, and
goddamnit- that’s Marilyn Monroe! But I can
only hope that the classic pinups with this
message have gone extinct:
Is
that a carcass on your platter,
Umm… Is this
the Leave
it to
Lady, You could be Marilyn
or are you just happy to see me?
Turkey
set?
Monroe, for all I care, just
get the gun outta my face!

 It’s my favorite day
of the year, again! Nope, not Earth
Day- it’s Blog Action
Day! A day of
concentrated activism for bloggers all
over the world, and I’m ecstatic to be
one of over 13,000 registered blogs.
Last year we concentrated our collective
efforts on
poverty, the year
before that- the first Blog Action Day- was
generally about the
environment. This year, we
deal with climate change:
 From my
environmental search, two years ago, the
pinup world seemed almost oblivious to
the environment, but this year, I was
elated to discover the gorgeous and
diverse Vegan
Vixens (newest on the
sidebar). Self-dubbed eco-entertainers,
the Vixens work to educate about
environmental issues such as animal
welfare, the vegan lifestyle, and climate
change. And they do it all through
burlesque and pinup styled photoshoots!
For you eco-pinup
lovers, Here’s a behind the scenes look at
their calender shoot:
Sexy Blog Action Day, everybody!
P.S.
Don’t forget to check out The
Pinup Shop’s own environmental
pinups!

 Naughty and nice,
sexy and sweet, green and pink; Beauty
and nature are synonymous. This
beautiful young lady asked me for a
flower theme, and I was more than happy
to oblige. A little plot of nature with
a touch of man-made glamour and viola! A
glamor
flower girl!
Appreciate the beauty of nature with a touch
of classic glamor, and click on the item of

Sexy pinups demonstrate environmental
awareness- an Earth Day special on The Pinup
Blog.It’s not easy to find conscientious
pinups, especially in the environmental
department. But it’s already looking better
than
last year. This Earth Day, I’ve got a
great list of green beauties for you; From
animal rights, to energy conservation.
Ride a Bike! Alternative
transportation is not just about
electric cars. One of TreeHugger’s (the
green social network) favorite pastimes
is to spot celebrities opting for the
bike.
This slideshow captures 13 sexy starlets,
riding their bikes.
Another interesting project is the TyK (Thought
You Knew) and CWHC (Chicago Women’s
Health Center) collaboration. This
project is actually geared toward
healthcare, but it’s run by a group of
Chicago ladies that love to ride and I
thought may be appropriate. With the
help of CWHC, Tyk has created a
beautiful retro pinup calender with the
theme of bicycles. Following through
with TreeHugger’s thesis that just
supporting the notion that bikes are
sexy, promotes this alternative
transportation method, I put a spotlight
on these cycling beauties.

Women and nature - the two greatest muses
of all times. I just got an email
that Blog Action
Day is back in action, this year. I
actually had this lovely Nature of Pinup
Girls article all ready for them,
supposing that they’re all about the
environment. Was I surprised, when I
found out, this year we blog about
poverty. So you get your Nature of
Pinups article a little early and I get
to challenge myself in linking pinups to
poverty.
For all you bloggers out
there:
Blog Action Day is a wonderful awareness
project. Each year, on October 15 th, bloggers unite
and write about one issue of importance.
Last year was a fantastic success, with the
issue being the environment. This year
promises to be even bigger. So join us!
Now, without further ado: The
Nature of Pinup Girls!

   I’m always on the
lookout for eco-friendly companies. For
all you environmentally conscious glamor
girls Enamore Boutique is
the eco-friendly
retro clothes brand, creating all garments
out of organic and sustainable fabrics. As
you can see, they’re retro, but have a
modern chick to them. My personal favorite
being the adorable polka dot sleep mask
(no it’s not a bathing suit top  ).

For this Pinup, Polar Bears aren't Just a
Prop!
  While thinking up a
pinup for Earth Day, I came across
Enoch
Bolles' horrific (yet mesmerizingly
painted) pinup in red lingerie.
Traumatized for life, an idea popped into
my head for another
environmental pinup.
As many of you know, one of my favorite
pinups involves such senseless brutality,
Elvgren's The Bear Facts (under the Enoch
Bolles pinup). This
is my take on The Bear Facts, and the
role of Polar Bears in pinup art, in the
21st century.
Click on the item of your choice and Say "no"
to the bear-rug.
keep polar bears and pinups alive!

Global warming and greenhouse gasses are
not sexy. Puppies are.
For Blog Action
Day, I was planning a "Top 10
environmental pinups" post. I was
planning on addressing 10 different
environmental issues through pinups.
Well… I just couldn't find them.
