1000 Pin-Up Girls (Bibliotheca Universalis) (Multilingual Edition)
<strong>Never show everything: Big curves and suggestive smiles</strong><br /><br />“Girls, Gags & Giggles" ran publisher Robert Harrison's recipe for dishing up pin-up to the American male. Men loved his tasty dishes, <strong>a mixture of strippers and starlets</strong> dressed in outfits so fetishistic no one noticed they were never nude. While other magazines delivered the girl next door, Harrison's publications banked on <strong>bad girls in satin and leather, fishnet stockings, and six-inch heels</strong> performing slapstick stunts straight from the burlesque stage.<br /><br />Harrison lured his readers in with <strong>vibrantly painted covers</strong> by top pin-up artists <strong>Earl Moran, Billy DeVorss</strong> and, most famously, <strong>Peter Driben</strong>. This <em>Bibliotheca Universalis</em> edition celebrates this eye-catching candy with <strong>every single cover from <em>Beauty Parade</em>, <em>Wink</em>, <em>Titter</em>, <em>Eyeful</em>, <em>Flirt</em>, and <em>Whisper</em> from 1942 to 1955</strong>, as well as interior spreads, featuring, among others, <strong>a budding Bettie Page</strong>. In an age when far more graphic material is the norm, <em>1000 Pin-Up Girls</em> celebrates an <strong>era of pin-up and pulp style to fuel your erotic imagination</strong>.<br /><br /><strong>About the series:<br /><em>Bibliotheca Universalis</em> - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!</strong><br />Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. <em>Bibliotheca Universalis</em> brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.<br /><strong>Bookworm's delight - never bore, always excite!</strong><br /><br />Text in English, French, and German
