About this product

Product Information

Never show everything "Girls, Gags & Giggles" - this was publisher Robert Harrison's recipe for dishing up the American pin-up to the U.S. male. In the 1950s his girlie magazines sold by the millions, before becoming icons of pulp and trash culture. These skilfully illustrated girls with their curvaceous forms and inviting lingerie soon overtook America's national dessert, in terms of popularity, and even developed considerable potential as a cultural export during the 1940s. "Never show everything," was always the motto. Smiling prettily at the camera, the models exuded just the right amount of sex appeal without seeming too sophisticated or artful. They were the 'girls next door' whose wholesome attraction soon made one forget the magazines' deliberately trashy presentation. Their rosy complexions and innocent allures still titillate even in an age when far more graphic material is the norm. For everyone who enjoys pin-ups, push-ups and pulp style "To look at these pictures is to remember that there was a time when taking off your clothes was a potent gesture, when the mere fact of a naked woman could be thrilling." National Post , Toronto

Wonderful seller, fast shipping and great communication. Once again, this seller was wonderful to work with. He offered great deals on vinyl that you just cannot pass up. I originally purchased 23 albums and they were all in great condition. Even better than described. So I bought another 17 albums and received the same experience. Luke’s loot is awesome. I will definitely continue to buy from this seller in the future.😀👍🏾

  • Light book with a LOT of content!

    This book is absolutely packed with vintage pin up pictures from different eras. Of course the old pin up motto, "never show everything", applies and is true to the ideal that the art of becoming nude is just as enticing as being nude itself. Great book for nostalgia, collectors of these pictures, and artists, like myself, who have delved into this style and could use a little inspiration once in awhile. Black and white photos from popular magazines--a real look inside the content of a vintage pin up magazine. Dialog throughout is interesting and increases factual/historical knowledge. The only downside of this book, is in making it small and portable, some of the page cropping cuts off typed words and leaves you wondering!
