Plus Size Pinups - Could they Ever Grow Beyond Sidestream?

Plus-size pinups are a niche within a niche. It's hard to see a potential of growth outside of the plus-size fetish community. I would like to propose otherwise, by showcasing a few plus-size pinup artists.

Q: Who are some of the greatest plus-size pin-up models of today?

A1: Look on myspace, and you'll find plenty. the thing is, pin-up models, plus size or otherwise, aren't really part of a booming industry outside of fetishists, Betty Page fans and tattoo conventions. Can you name a contemporary pin-up model (outside of Dita Von-Teese) at all?
Plus size pin-ups especially are a non-issue - I can't name any because there aren't any famous ones. Again, you'll find hundreds of women calling themselves plus size models on myspace - so you can check them out there, but the majority of them are not actual models.

A2:Are you talking about waist line or bust size?
Not a huge market for fat pin-ups. Pun intended.
With the advent of the internet the market for modern pin-ups has become huge, de-valued, international, and fragmented. I can't say who is the queen of today's pin-up market. 99% of pin-ups are viewed eletronically and never make it to print. Just 10 years ago it was the complete opposite.
Certainly there is no modern Betty Page of any size.
