A discussion below brought to mind Pin-up art and how, although not overtly explicit, hey convey beauty, sensuality, and playful sexuality. Another made a comment about how, from a marketing stand-point, poses like these, when found on a lady's site, are a real treat. In that vein, here are a couple that stand out for me.

A Google search will bring up many pin-up artists and pictures. Why not share some of what you like.

The one below is my all-time favorite. The way the lower back is drawn, and just the right amount of sheerness to the material, capture hidden beauty realy well.

is greate from a playful perspective.

One of my favorite sites........I absolutly love the look of these women. A wonderful bygone era that's for sure.

I was very lucky to have a numbered "Betty Page" and she even signed it. Sorry, but I suck at links. Hugs,Devin

That drawing makes me think of the book A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.  Ha, ha, back to the subject of this thread.

and now i'm ready for some coffee table books..Thanks so much for introducing me to this type of art. I hope more post their favorite links so I can save them.

I did notice at the book store many tatoo artist magazines use these poses. If your interested check them out..This is the modern day version. Get a cup of coffee and sit and enjoy for free. Just watch what your imagination does to you in
public.
