Cuckoo,

I am again with a small article on Virginia Notte, a passionate photographer who loves Pin'Up ....

You can find these works on his website:

Revisiting the past several years pinup aesthetics, Virginia Notte exhibits through his works a controlled work which she brings a contemporary twist. Even if the sets and props are a reminder of those calendars Americans of the 1950s, its models are of our time.

A pin-up is an attractive woman whom we usually hang a picture on a wall corner, hence the word "Pin Up Girl," which literally translates into French as "girl pinned to the wall." The concept appears at the beginning of the century, as the Gibson Girls (named for their creator) and its variants "Pretty Girls", "Varga Girl", "Christy Girl", etc..

Femme fatale, doll, sex symbol, the pin-up is represented by its creators as the ideal woman. The pinup, provocative without being vulgar, appear on magazines, newspapers, posters, calendars or small vignettes to collect that helped popularize them. They are found in the 70 truck drivers in the cabs of knowing that from the Second World War, aircraft crews showed these pictures on the cabins of their planes. They are now prized by collectors.

In his second book "Modern Pin'Up - Tease Sessions",

Virginie Notte favors photography of stripping, the pinup scene rather than the magazines and it is always with the same talent as Virginie Notte us into the 1950s with girls yet very contemporary.

Also, we can only invite you to offer a choice place to it in your library and to continue this wonderful dream by finding Virginie Notte on its website at irresistible glamor:
