Over two years of The Pinup Blog and,
surprisingly enough, we’ve yet to touch on a
very pinup-esque theme: The zodiac.
Women as allegory
came up in last
week’s post. Today is all allegory
with Zodiac Pinups. Though traditionally
woman have been used in the images of the
Virgo sign and often Aquarius, this week,
we’ll be focusing on complete series of
women as zodiac signs.
#10 Fantasy Zodiac Pinups
Probably what you’d
most expect to see out of a woman zodiac
series, but surprisingly not the most
commonly found on the net. Soft and
meticulous fantasy art, with kitschy
mystical touches. It’s less overtly sexy
and focuses more on femininity.

Women have often shown up in
revolutionary images. What is a woman’s role
in the revolution? Today The Pinup Blog
explores revolutionary pinups!
Visual art has always had the ability to
concretely represent abstract concepts, while
still leaving room for debate. Revolution is
one of those abstract concepts.
Interestingly, women have been one theme
utilized in order to interpret the many faces
of the concept of revolution. Today, we take
a look at the different female
representations of revolutions.

#213 The
Bi-Weekly Bombshell: Women in Modern Art

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.
The inspiring burlesque
artist, Tiara
the Merch Girl, is also a prolific
writer on issues of race in the world of
burlesque, at Racialicious ( “a
[fantastic] blog about the intersection of
race and pop culture” ). I was ecstatic to
find The Pinup Blog mentioned in her
article,
Who’s a Pretty Burlesque Princess
Now. The article asks
significant questions about the diversity of
burlesque and its importance as an art-form
and innovator. Take a few minutes off for
some burlesqu-shop-talk, to read this
phenomenal post.

“Fool” is surprisingly a very common word

Today’s top 10 April Fools pinups have little

We start with the 1964 classic, Runnin’ Out

I love the diversity that’s offered in the

with the assistance of cultural symbols in
clothing and accessories and, of course, the
diversity of the models themselves. I touched

The breasts are lopsided and frightening,
the nipples are turned at strange angles, the
hips and bum are exaggerated, and the cute
button up nose is pushed upwards and
distorted. Lisa Yuskavage gleefully mocks the

Traditional pin-up
artwork may rest somewhere between the
border of illustration and pornography,
but many modern artist are trying to
help push the genre towards a more fine

I can’t believe I
don’t have Little
Darling’s Pinups for Pitbulls on my
sidebar! This changes right now.
Professional neo pinup, Little Darling, is
a dedicated animal rights activist and has
founded Pinups for Pitbulls in order to
give special care to an especially
discriminated breed:
“Through creating an annual pinup calendar,
selling other merchandise, and throwing
events, Pinups for Pitbulls, Inc. raises
money and awareness to benefit the health and
welfare of this largely misunderstood breed.
the goal is to restore the former image of
the American Pit Bull Terrier as war Hero,
helper, nanny, companion and friend. Pinups
for Pitbulls also seeks to ban BSL,
(breed-specific-legislation), and to lobby
against dog fighting, puppy mills, and
cruelty to pit bulls. Little Darling believes
that public education combinedwith the
pro-pit bull testimonies and images of
beautiful, strong women (especially using the
All-American pinup image) will help to
counterbalance the stigma that the media and
animal abusers have placed on pit bulls and
bully-breeds.”

The Collar: Innocent fashion accessory,
or bondage gear?
From the most
innocent piece of jewelry to the most
fetishist admission of submission, collars
are actually quite common in pinup art. Today
we’ll look at a few examples of collars in
cheesecake and try too see if their function
and concept changes.
The Innocent Accessory in Classic
Pinups
Most probably
originating from Victorian fashions, the
collar, better known as the choker
(political correctness gone awry?), has
been fashionable all through the
19th
century. Many classic pinups from the
1940’s and 50’s feature this elegant,
little accessory:

CafePress is full of pinup calenders and it

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!

Is an icon different than an object? Does
a contemporary female pinup artist create
differently than a classic female pinup
artist?
Last time I’ve
analyzed a specific pinup piece it was
Zoë Mozert’s Bubbles. I was looking to
see what a female pinup artist does
differently than male pinup artists. In
Mozert’s case, we came to the banal gender
outlook, in which women portray women in a
soft manner, and yet still, as typical of the
genre, the woman in the image was
objectified. Today we look at radically
different Olivia de Berardinis and her piece
Belle Du Jour (1987).
Line, Blot, Shape, Texture and
Pattern
Once again, we start at the
basics. And again we talk about the fact that
the lines in pinup art are usually
suggestive- the meeting of two color
surfaces, creates the illusion of a line.
This, of course, creates the realism, so
typical of the genre. There are, however, the
white lines in the background, which seem to
serve as a pattern. These lines have a
compositional importance that we’ll get back
to later on, but also seem to serve as a
design element, hinting of Art Nouveau, which
is quite typical in de Berardinis’ work. The
straight, vertical lines conjure up guitar
strings, and- in conjuncture- the wavy lines
may remind us of music, loosely conversing
with abstract greats such as Paul Klee and
Wassily Kandinsky.
Blots are also rendered softly, in order to
create the illusion of reality. But unlike
Zoë Mozert’s piece, de Berardinis’ work has
sharp edges that rarely blend into one
another. Something we’ll get back to in the
lighting section.
Shameless Photography
has nothing to be ashamed of. Other than
creating beautiful and whimsical retro
pinups, they also create a positive
atmosphere in the pinup world, with the
diversity of their models and an
empowering attitude:
“In a culture where we're constantly
bombarded by images, messages, and
standards designed to make us feel
inadequate and insecure about our faces
and our bodies, I aim to create a space
where women can feel safe, beautiful, and
empowered. Using makeup, lighting,
and photography, I create images that are
part fantasy, part reality -- and
entirely gorgeous. To become a
fantasy -- and to know that you can do so
whenever you want -- is a powerful thing.
No billboard model, no advertising agency
can own the realm of fantasy -- we all
do.”
On with the revolution!

Grassroots third wave feminism manifest

Pinup, today, is not
just an art, but a lifestyle. With it’s
own brands of fashion, music, art and of
course, sports. Roller Derby, the choice
sport for those living this lifestyle,
is much more than a bunch of skimpily

First impressions matter, and as film
makers know, one way the ultimate way to make
a woman attractive, is to give her a
dramatic, well produced entrance.
When a
sexy woman enters the room, for the first
time in a film, she can’t just come in.
Sensuous close ups and leering long shots
must be exercised to their fullest,
preferably with a singing number and over the
top sexual innuendo. Today we take a look at
gorgeous women first appearing on the screen
and the men that gawk at them.
Uma Thurman as Venus - Renaissance
Pinup
It seems appropriate to start with the mother
of all desirable women, Venus. In The
Adventures of Baron Munchausen, a fresh faced
Uma Thurman makes for one of the most
ethereal and soft entrances in cinema.
Heavily based on Botticelli’s version of
venus, the painting comes alive with sound
and motion, leaving the audience and the men
struck by a pure, but not un-sensual beauty
of a time long ago.

Kiely,

Everyone ought to have a colourful past
(and, ideally, a colourful present), and
mine is being an unrepentant pornographer.
I've heard all the criticism about
pornography that there is -- so boring. My
sexually explicit work is not declasse or
moronic, and I maintain that I am a kickass
feminist. In the words of one of my
admirers, my work is "seditious" and
"undermines the paradigm of Lonely Guys
Comic Porn."
And on that note, check her out!

It is hard
to say what exactly
causedthe shift in
the Sci-Fi genre- from an almost
exclusive male interest, to a genre that
has more and more female readers,
writers and watchers. All of a sudden,
it became OK for a girl to like the
genre, and more and more girls started
to take interest. (According to some
polls- 80% of the genre readers are
girls, but I am not sure of their
accuracy). Such a shift has to (and did)
cause a change inside the genre- there
was a whole new crowd to satisfy, but
still keep the older crowd interested.
