Pin-Up and Nose Art (NSFW)

Red Seven

Okay folks, lets bring out the old stuff once again with old nose art and pin up. I said this is NSFW just to be safe, although I know most people won't be offended by this sort of stuff.

I love how innocent this all is now days.













Nose Art!





It even ends up on motorcycles...



This is by an artist known as Bawidamann. I like his stuff, even if it is all new and more cartoony. Still has the basic ideas right.











Your turn, GO!

Hilde

Does this mean I have to put up the pin-up 50ties clocks again?

Ottens

Those are quite lovely! Indeed, it's charming how innocent those images are, compared to sex being everywhere nowadays. I'm particularly fond of that Bawidamann's "babes in space" pictures. Very retro-futuristic!

Love NOSE ART!

Long time fan of Bawidamann. He is actually very, very popular among the modern special operations community for his accurate weapons/uniforms on 'cheesecake.'

Not a pin up, but still on topic, me thinks:

Dr Damon Molinarius

Time for a walk in the bracingly cold country air, again, methinks...

ColonelHazard

That's a great collection of pin-ups and the nose art is wonderful!

I also like the cartoony ones, specifically the "Secret Weapons" lady. I think I shall have to find a similar outfit to hers - it's fantastic!

The rocketship ones are kind of silly due to the obvious phallic imagery :P

Ottens

Again, not a pin up, but still cute.

Space age style

It comes in some other backgrounds too but I like this one best

ColonelHazard

Here are two of my favourites:





Gotta love a pin-up girl holding a book! Sexy librarians will always be in style.

I've hit the motherload thanks to my lj-flist.

Here is another if you like the new retro/hot rod scene.

Wow, some of those dresses are great. I specifically love the red gingham sweetie dress from the link you posted, Red Seven.

Dr Damon Molinarius

*burbles incoherently and goes to hide where the wonderful evilness of the internet cannot reach him*

- This is the Yellow Rose of Texas poster I broguht recently. The link in the Car thread didn't work for some of you though.

I also brought a Baron Von Lind and a Gil Elvgren a couple of years back, though I'm sure there must be pics of those up here somewhere in the decor' thread.

Ottens

"Watch Your Curves!" indeed!

Steiner

I've got a couple of art books on order (I must come across as such a perv) but I'm after another print; perhaps the lass with the book that the colonel posted, if I can get it.

Ottens

At Hilde's insistence....



The Silk Spectre! Note that there's a good amount of fanart out there too.

Which reminded me of a certain character from Sin City...

Ottens

Oh, and something semi-related:

The work of Mr. Elvgren:

Oh, those are quite lovely!

Found this:



By "Theleria".

Paris Parade Cocktail, 1952

ColonelHazard

Those shoes seem highly improbable. I think it would be all but impossible to walk in them :O

Hilde

I think those are called "ballet boots" or something similar. You see them sold on various Goth and fetish sites but I've never actually seen anyone wearing them.

Ottens

As you can see, the appropriate time to wear such is when you're sitting naked in a huge cocktail.

ColonelHazard

I will keep that in mind next time I have the opportunity to wear such boots :P

Obviously, and now we know where Dita von Teese stole her idea for commercials etc in that style too

Red Seven

This one looks like Badiwanna's work, although its for a bicycle tire shop in Oregon.






Ms. Dolores Moran


Ms. Ava Gardner


And here is the stuff I have on my bike. Horrible pic of the bike, so I added a little off the AMR site that made the graphics.

Ottens

I didn't realize they made such imagery for motorcycles! it's a good thing they do!

Nrs. 1 and 3 are my favorites in your post. Very patriotic!
