Vintage 'Cheesecake' Pin-Ups

[Platinum Blonde]

Even if this thread has only one page I already love it. All the pictures are so beautiful!!
Thanks everbody that have posted pictures. I'm looking forward a lot to see more pictures. I recognize the pin-ups in post #2 by Enoch Bolles. I have seen them on Too Faced cosmetics products and I have been wondering who the artist was. Know I finally know.

cool thread idea, it's interesting to see different approaches to the pin-up. Gil Elvgren's illustrations are most familiar to me, I recall seeing them a few times before.

[Sugarmama]

^That's great. I have to say, looking at this thread I think my favorites are from Enoch Bolles.

 

[pinkballoons]

Mine as well, he had a a really cool style that was really fitting for the 20s. I also love Gil though

 

[Sugarmama]

Gil's drawings have a lot of energy. I like his a lot too.

I only knew about Vargas, but I am so happy I came to this thread. I love the other artists as well.
