10 hottest
Thanksgiving Pinups - The List that Never
Happened

I was really hoping on a top 10 list of
pinups, for Thanksgiving. Once again, my
dreams of listing have been brutally
shattered by the sad realities: Thanks giving
isn't sexy enough for pinups. There are
almost no Thanksgiving bombshells, out
there.

Yes, I love doing
lists for this blog, because it gives me
a chance to dive into a massive search
for retro girlie art, in Google. I ogle
sexy, half naked women, for hours on
end, under the pretext of work. (jealous
much

) This Thanksgiving, my
work has been unproductive.
A Pinup Pioneer
I have managed to
find one
resilient artist at
Cafepress,
who made an effort to give thanksgiving
it's share of cheesecake.
What Makes a Holiday Sexy
A “Sexy”
holiday is a brandable holiday. One that can
get the public to heavily consume luxury
products. Christmas with the gifts, Halloween
with the candy, Valentine's day with cards
and bonbons and St. Patrick's day with beer.
It looks like Thanksgiving has been stuck
with the Turkey. Not a sexy bird (unless you
got a major kink

).
Why Thanksgiving Isn't Sexy
Many
reasons for this. Could be that the
historical story isn't sticky enough. Maybe
turkeys and turkey basters are too small of a
niche, in the sexual consumers community.
Maybe it's a “mother's holiday”- too much
wholesome family activity involved.
Putting My Foot Down
Just like the
environmental issue, once again, I choose
to put in my two cents. So here it is,
the
sexiest turkey-baster-holding momma
you'll ever see. Of course, two
cents are not enough, so
if
you know of any Thanksgiving pinups,
lurking out there, please, let us all
know, in this comment
section.
For a sexier Thanksgiving,
Update: 19.11.07
Vintage Thanksgiving Pinups Found!
A huge Thanks to Edwin J. Doolittle for
sending me these two beauties. After a
little bit of research, I can finally
confirm, that the Native American spoof is
an Elvgren. The pilgrim could be either
Ted
Withers,
T.N.
Thompson,
K.O.
Munson,
Freeman
Elliot, or
Al
Buell.
If someone
knows for sure, please let us all
know!
