The pinnacle of success was in the 40s, however, that the pin-up girls (or “hanging girls”) lived. At a time when showing the legs was subversive attitude and be photographed nude, indecent assault, pencil and ink gave way to these women, affectionately called “secret weapons” by American soldiers – World War II, they served as a relief to guards who risked their lives on the battlefields. Betty Grable was one of the most popular early “pin-ups”. Her poster was ubiquitous in the lockers of these soldiers

The concept of pin-up girls was quite clear: they were sexy and innocent at the same time. The real pin-up could never be vulgar or offered only inviting. Assured by the sophisticated features coming from art-nouveau, they wore clothes that subtly to the left shows sumptuous legs and defined waists. It was enough to feed the fantasy of the big guys. Illustrations of paper, pin-ups logo to life by being embodied by actresses such as Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe, or photographed by voluptuous models like Bettie Page, also called the “queen of curves”.

 

    SWEET GOTHIC GIRLS

 “I like the slower poisons, the most bitter drinks, the most powerful drugs, the most insane ideas, more complex thoughts, feelings stronger … I have a voracious appetite and the wildest delusions.

– So what? I love flying!

Do not give me certain formulas, why I do not expect always hit. Do not show me what to expect from me, why should I follow my heart. Do not make me be who I am not. Do not invite me to be equal, why am honestly different. I do not know love by half. I can not live a lie. I can not fly the feet. I’m always myself, but it sure will not be the same forever. “
