CALENDAR GIRL: Sweet & Sexy Pin-Ups of the Postwar Era

During the long, lonely days of World War II, sweet and sexy beauties did their part for America by posing in sassy and often humorous pin-up calendars. These calendar girls, as they came to be known, motivated servicemen worldwide, reminding them of the sweet-smelling safe haven of home. When the men came home after the war, the demand for these calendars continued to grow well into the 1950s. Artists transformed simple, girl-next-door darlings into alluring icons, and painted them with scenic backgrounds depicting life in post-war America. With more than 600 full-color images, Calendar Girl is a titillating tribute to these sumptuous centerfolds of yesteryear, to the artists who rendered them, and to the veterans who remember them.
