Top of the (naked) morning to you

Look, Ma. No clothes and a natural physique! Ain't that swell?

As I think back over the week, it strikes me that there just wasn't enough vintage nude female flesh on the blog this week. Oh, sure, lots of artistic representations and artsy photos and tawdry pulpy samples of steamy skin and professional models....but not enough of my favorite subject, the miraculous configurations of the unretouched, unmodified naked body.

I'm going to redress that problem today with a selection of vintage undressed lovelies I've been accumulating for weeks, plus some other sensual portraits to carry us gently into the weekend.

Get out the lube.  It's going to be a soft sexy naked day.

Think of me tonight

Pondering new ways to charm you....

And now, a few lessons in sexual hygiene

Lesson One

Always use an anti-baby condom. If you use one of the pro-baby kind, you'll need a bigger house.

Betty's Vagina Monologue

In honor of the news that Archie Comics is debuting an openly gay character, this morsel of vintage Betty.

Spider Women: the ultimate fly girls

(for Eva and Jose).

A fixture of the old time carnival, any woman with the endurance (and possibly desperation) for the job, could climb into a clever rig and become a Spider Woman or Spider Girl -- or even...Spidora! Half-arachnid, half woman, she could devour any man!  slurrp.

Strange Penis News of the Week: Indonesian Police Order Coq au naturel

I don't quite understand the reasoning behind this. Is it to prevent police from enraging perpetrators with their oversized penetrators...?

Forget about getting a job as a police officer in Indonesia's Papua if you have had your penis enlarged. You won't get it, according to local media reports citing the Papua police chief.

An applicant "will be asked whether or not his vital organ has been enlarged," said Papua police chief Bekto Suprapto, quoted on local website Kompas.com.

Oh dear. I guess they'll just have to improvise when they want to dress to impress.

Be whoever you want to be today

George Quaintance 2

Before Tom: George Quaintance 1

George Quaintance (June 3, 1902 – November 8, 1957) was an American artist famous for his "idealized, strongly homoerotic" depictions of men in physique magazines....His artwork has been said to establish the "macho stud" stereotype who was also homosexual. via wikipedia

Of special interest to us leather/BDSM folk, Quaintance had a profound influence on Tom of Finland, who carried the theme of idealized muscle gods into his explicit leather erotica.

Kissing Women: vintage memorabilia

Photo, ca. 1910-1920

Humor card, ca. 1900-10

I love this 50s/60s ad with the compulsive kissing dolls. Too cute. I bet if this product was marketed to kids today, a slew of "family values" nuts would charge that the manufacturer was trying to make lesbianism acceptable to children. Wow, if ONLY!

Pulp Perfection: Mort Kunstler, ca. 1950s

Best known for his brilliant illustrations of important moments in American history, in the 1950s, Mort Kunstler  created captivating illustrations of male sexual fantasies for pulpy men's magazines.

Parsing the Mannequin Pis

Have you seen the Mannequin Pis? The first time I glimpsed this little gent was in 1975, on an unplanned lay-over in Brussels, after a flight back to the US was canceled. I'd never heard of him at the time so was much surprised to discover how many people made his tiny penis their tourist destination.

This collection of vintage postcards pays tribute to the pissing powers of Belgium's most famous bronze son.
