Somewhat provocative, perhaps, but Pin-Up Girl Lighters is more about nostalgia than gams, and chicks, and peekaboo poses. Pin-up girls, warplane nose-art, and pin-up graffiti were both ubiquitous and inspirational--on varying levels--throughout World War II and the Korean War. Pin-up art from the 1940's and 1950's has become more evocative than provocative over the years, and Pin-up Girl Lighters captures that sense throughout their pages. |
