Tough times got you down? Seems like there is a lot of that going around these days. We’d like to help get your mind off of your job, your finances, global warming, and the war in Afghanistan with a few pin up photos of our very first Blitzed Girl, Kim.
America has gone through tough times before. During World War II, the pin up girl played an important role in lifting the spirits of troops stationed around the world. Not only pin ups adorn the personal quarters of G.I.s, but they were also painted on the noses of aircraft to help boost morale.
When it came to creating beautiful images of sexy, scantily clad women back in the 1940’s and 1950’s, nobody did it better than Alberto Vargas. The Varga Girls, as they were known, that graced the pages of Esquire magazine set a new standard for the artistry of the pin up girl and influenced the definition of feminine beauty in the 20th century. This is our tribute to Alberto Vargas and his important contribution to American culture. Learn more about the Alberto Vargas and see the art work that served as the inspiration for the first Blitzed Girl photoshoot.
The idea for this photoshoot was to revisit the classic look of the Vargas pin ups and add our own style. Given the current state of the Big 3 American automobile manufacturers, we thought it would be nice to use some classic American cars as the backdrop to remind our readers of a time when the American automobile was symbol of innovation, performance, and comfort.
We will be featuring a beautiful girl for you to admire each month.
