In a time of great divide, I think it’s a
great opportunity to create bonds rather
than gaps. As an Israeli, having a Tunisian
Muslim friend, has made me that much more
appreciative of our similarities. My friend
sent me the video to the left, because she
wanted to share with me something she
loves. Once watching this little
collection, it dawned on me that the
ancient art and culture of Middle Eastern
belly dancing is very directly responsible
for American burlesque! Wether it’s the
tussles, the flirty nuances, or the act of
a woman in a skimpy outfit, skillfully
shaking her thang- the similarities are
unavoidable. And of course, you can’t
ignore the impact of 40’s American fashion,
on these ladies. I mean, one of these girls
is a dead ringer for Rita Hayworth! So in
honor of sexy women in other cultures, I
give you the belly dance.

Celebrating sex and diversity with the
classic theme of pinup on
DeviantArt.
Last
August, I gave props to 9 magnificent
pinup artists. I’d like to celebrate
more deserving pinup artists, again, so
that’s today’s focus. You’ll find a lot
of diversity and a lot of cheek.
Celebrating sex and diversity with the
classic theme of pinup.
Miss Cadence - Start with Something
Traditional
I thought I’d start off with something
traditional. Miss
Cadence is a beautiful neo pinup.
She’s a classic beauty and just does the
job right. She also brings in a classic
diversity, as Miss Cadence comes in all
your favorite colors: blonde, brunette
and redhead.

Sunday treat: Templates Blog

beautifully executed illustrations. I’d

Sexy pinups demonstrate environmental
awareness- an Earth Day special on The Pinup
Blog.
It’s not easy to find conscientious
pinups, especially in the environmental
department. But it’s already looking better
than
last year. This Earth Day, I’ve got a
great list of green beauties for you; From
animal rights, to energy conservation.
Another interesting project is the TyK (Thought
You Knew) and CWHC (Chicago Women’s
Health Center) collaboration. This
project is actually geared toward
healthcare, but it’s run by a group of
Chicago ladies that love to ride and I
thought may be appropriate. With the
help of CWHC, Tyk has created a
beautiful retro pinup calender with the
theme of bicycles. Following through
with TreeHugger’s thesis that just
supporting the notion that bikes are
sexy, promotes this alternative
transportation method, I put a spotlight
on these cycling beauties.
Listal is yet
another social network. A friend of mine
did a random pinup search and found
a glorious
list of 52 celebrity pinup images.
From Isla Fisher to Claudia Schiffer, you
can see both a “typical” picture of the
starlet and a 50’s pinup stylized one. The
list is full of diversity, thus you can
find the gorgeous black Meagan Good
alongside the Italian Giovanna Mezzogiorno
and the mysteriously
Asian-looking-but-apparently-Caucasian
Summer Glau.It’s a bit of a long load, but
totally worth the wait!

They’re hispanic, BBW, male,
anthropomorphic and they have one thing in
common- They’re all in a bunny suit!
Easter brings upon
me a message of hope, this year. Out I
went to fetch you some Easter bunnies
and to my pleasant surprise I found a
world of diversities. All sexy, all
bunnies, in all sizes, shapes and
colors. It’s the diverse universe of the
Easter bunny fetish- as long as you got
long ears- you’re in!

Last month, I wrote
an article about the beautiful and talented
Nina Mae McKinney. One of my gracious
readers,
Shay, pointed me to a fantastic page,
Ladies of
Harlem. A modest page, full of images
of beautiful African American starlets of
the golden era of black entertainment.
Obviously made with a lot of passion and
respect for diversity, here’s what the
creator of Ladies of Harlem has to say:
“Whatever happened to classic, distinct,
versatile black beauty within and out?..
They Sure had faces then and their own
style of beauty. No one resembled one
another. Beauty from dark to light... No
wonder the 1930’s and 1950’s will never be
forgotten. They surly had faces then.”
