And Another. McGuinniss was a much sought after paperback Cover Artist....born in 1926, he was still doing these at 95....I guess its like falling off a bike. You never forget how.
From 1960....Even Norman Rockwell worked in the Genre. It was known as "Good Girl Art", even though the classic definition of 'Good Girl' was stretched a tad.
Duane Bryers painted these calendar pinups for 60 years or so.....Hilda was a fixture in a lot of barbershops as long as I can remember getting haircuts.
Note: even stripjoints had a dress code, though this place didnt open til 7pm. Basic Gentleman's dress after 5 pm required a Jacket, Collared Shirt and Tie...it included the 'O' Clubs on any Military base...If you were not in Class A Uniform after the Retreat Gun sounded, you were not admitted, although a good Club Steward might keep a Shirt, Jacket and Tie for Officers he knew, to borrow.
Also note: by today's Standard, the pictured girl would be considered too fat to hire, but this Dancer was about normal then. Ad is from 1962 or 63
