![]() ![]() Besides showing off her legs, Betty Grable was a leading lady in films like Moon over Miami and the aptly titled Pin Up Girl. Grable and her famous legs were pinned up over the bunks of millions of GIs during WWII. This gal had such amazing gams that her studio insured them for $1 million at Lloyds of London. I could see a faint smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eye as he did so. One year when my grandpa was visiting us for Thanksgiving, he saw the calendar, took it down, and flipped through it reminiscing about his days as a soldier during WWII. When I was in high school, I had a Vargas Girl calendar hanging up in my room. Vargas understood the power of imagination. ![]() While the Vargas Girls are definitely sexy, there was no nudity. He utilized a combination of watercolors and airbrush techniques to give his pinup girls their distinct soft look. Vargas set the standard for pinup artists. The Vargas Girls are the iconic pin-ups of Alberto Vargas. ![]() If your Grandpa flew a plane in the Big One, one of these lovely ladies probably graced the nose of his bomber. So today we’d like to raise a toast to the women who caught the eye of our grandpas. Your grandpa’s babes had curves and class. Today’s female celebrities have traded their womanly figure for sickly rail thin bodies, and they take pride in their promiscuous and skanky reputations. Unfortunately, the women who get idolized by the media today look and act nothing like women. Unlike you, your grandpa grew up in a time when women were women. When he was your age, he snuck a peak at the latest cover girls on the newsstands or went to the movies to see the latest beauty grace the silver screen. And just like you, he appreciates the beauty of women. Believe it or not, your grandpa is a red blooded male, just like you. ![]()
