I Suddenly want a Pin-Up Calendar...

Here's a good blog, and even more good (albeit sometimes a touch out of touch) commentary following it.  Some is nonsense, of course, particularly the strain on porn, but they come back around when commenting more on violent pop culture (which I do think is an oxymoron).  Still, it was nice to read a bit more of the generally good discourse that the internet is capable of instead of the rubbish spewed as commentary on YouTube or MySpace.


In all, I think in this day and age, tossing a pin-up in my basement or, if the fates allow, a cabin would be to me a nice reminder that beauty can come in forms other than what's seen on television and that popular tastes (thankfully!) change over time.  Or maybe I'm just me and happen to dig the curves of women and am unattracted to, and even unsettled by, stick-thin women.

I've had a pin-up calendar myself! That was an interesting blog--and the comments after it were a decent discussion, unlike most of what I see around.

I've been a fan of curvy shapes for women myself (maybe being one of those women gives me a bias) and I find the pin-up/50's image of the woman to be more true to what women should look like.
