OK, there are possibly tons of vintage images at flickr and this is just one. I was mesmerized by a series of promotional photos of Jane Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe, for "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds". If you love old photos of yesterday's stars, you'll love Lucky Star's photo stream at Flickr.

After writing last week’s cheesecake article, I was challenged at Digg, to find the beefcake twins. Knowing how hard it is to find beefcake at all, I rose to the challenge.

Where’s the beefcake?!

Apparently there just isn’t as much demand for male twins as female twins. This sailor image is the only vintage image I could find and it’s quite uninspired. I mean, this photo is so asexual could have been taken by their mother!

Fear not, my beefcake twin hungry mongrels! I’ve managed to hunt down a few modern day beefcake. It seems that twins have more fun than regular male models. Maybe it’s in the already playful nature of a twin photo shoot? Who knows.

Comic Vine is an interactive wiki site for all super hero comics lovers. In relevance to our pinup dealings, you might find the Attractive Female List. This list doesn't just rank many female comic heroines, but it let's yo vote, too! Of course, every image leads to the character's page, with information, images and covers of the volumes the character has appeared in. Other than that, the site has a blog, reviews and updates when new editions come out.

So, do I look any different to you? Nope, it's not my hair. I didn't loose weight... Ok, ok, you yanked it out of me. Are you ready?..

I have a new tab!

See the pink navigation tabs at the top of the page? See the one that says Survey? That's the one!

And that's not all! When you click on it, it takes you to the new Pinup Shop Survey.

Ok, ok, I know, who wants to do a survey, right? Well, here's the thing:

The Pinup Shop has been doing well, selling my retro girlie art. But it's just not enough to make a living. So a thought came to my mind: What do you want?

Mauling it over, I realized I never asked you what you want to see in the shop! Please take some time out of your day, click on that pink tab and let me know.

And don't think that just because you never bought any of my scrumptious cheesecake that gets you off the hook! I specially designed this survey to fit both customers and window shoppers, alike. So you have no excuse.

In all seriousness, really, I just want to know what you want.

You’re not seeing double. This list compiles pinup twins from around the world and across history.

Like the bunny and the exotic dancer, the fantasy of twins has always been out there. Twins photograph incredibly, and automatically call to mind additional meaning to an image. Smart photographers and painters utilized their rarity in order to create a stunning image. I’m leaving the sexual stuff out of this list, as alluring as it may appear it’s incest and I’m just not that kind of blogger.

The Vintage Twins that Launched a Thousand Words

Not much is known about Edward D'Ancona, who very possibly had a severe book fetish. This pinup isn’t dated, and all we can assume is that it was painted between the mid 1930-1960, the years he was known to be an active calendar artist. That’s a big gap, and the painting doesn’t clue us in to much. Seeing as these glamor girls are naked, the only thing I could go by is the hair, which looks right about the right length and styling to be between the 1940-1950. But again, I don’t know for sure, so feel free to enlighten us with an email or comment, if you know better.

This is the pinup that inspired this article, because...

I've always said retro is for all shapes and sizes. Lately I've stumbled on Torrid, which is a U.S. wide clothing chain for the big and beautiful. Now they're online, as well. And really, the pictures say it all. A lot of thought goes into these designs, and although Torrid isn't all retro, it's got a lot of it. Even though it has nothing to do with size, Torrid got me with their crazy feathered hats, I'm definitely ordering me one of those!

Brenda's Babes: A Pin-Up Collection was started by a pinup collector by the name of Brenda, who entered an online video contest, to win $20,000. All this happened over a year ago and Brenda won the $20,000, but she hasn't updated since. We lucky pinup lovers, however, are left with about four months of Brenda's constant pinup posts. It's a charming time capsule, go ahead and take a look. (Maybe if enough of us visit, Brenda will reconsider and return to blog about pin-up babes )
