It’s a tough
search, but somebody’s got to do it! For some
reason, turkeys are not the typical animal to
accompany a pinup image. Nevertheless, I’ve
managed to find some pro-turkey holiday
cheesecake!
Classic Pinups- A Vegan Peek at
Sexualized Speciesism
I thought we’d
first take a look at the problem. Yes, they
are gorgeous, and girl-next-doorsy, and
goddamnit- that’s Marilyn Monroe! But I can
only hope that the classic pinups with this
message have gone extinct:
Is
that a carcass on your platter,
Umm… Is this
theLeave
it to
Lady, You could be Marilyn
or are you just happy to see me?
Turkeyset?
Monroe, for all I care, just
get the gun outta my face!
Pinups for Turkeys - PeTA’s Thanksgiving
Campaign
After stumbling on the above calamities, I
was inspired to look for a more loving pinup
message. After all, thanks giving is about
good deeds, no? Leave it to PeTA to provide
the sexy vegan alternative, to holiday
consumer culture.
The Sexy Turkey Hat - Grassroots Turkey
Love
PeTA are not alone, and some more
grassroots effort has been made, to bring the
grace and beauty of the turkey to our
collective awareness. Ladies, gentlemen and
all you gorgeous folks in the middle, I give
you the Sexy Turkey Hat (as you can see, it
goes great with your casual catsuit!):
Wild Turkey - Bestiality in the Pinup
Realm
Contrary to popular belief,
bestiality is actually a rather common
fantasy. Apart from some highly unsavory
porn, you can find it in the most classic of
pinup art. You can see it alluded to in
classic works, such as Gil Elvgren’s or
straightforwardly depicted in more modern
pieces:

The turkey, typically has a more comical
image, so the results are comical as well:
Gentlemen Prefer Turkey
I wanted to finish
off with this simple, yet spectacular
retro piece. It’s a perfect fit for this
blog- style, title, theme, and all, and
it proves that even turkeys can be sexy!
Happy, turkey-free Thanksgiving to all,
