Welcome to the Smut for Good- Curves Rule Blog Hop!
I heard about this blog hop through facebook. It's celebrating smut and curvy women and also raising money for Parkinson's Disease.
Please be sure to click above for the main link and check out all the other blogs participating. There are ways you can donate and you have chances to win prizes!
I am giving away a copy of any of my books to one lucky commenter, so stick around and then leave me some love :)
We were asked to post something about curvy women, and while I mention in most of my books that my heroine has curves (it is spanking romance- there needs to be something to grab onto and spank!) I don't actually spend too much time talking about body type.
So instead, I am sharing with you a blog post I read recently about America's Forgotten Pin Up Girl (click to read the original post).
I have an unhealthy obsession appreciation of pin up girls and just the pin up style in general. They tend to be of the curvier sort. Big boobs, curvy hips, but yes, often times, tiny waists. A look that is hard for most to achieve without some sort of form fitting undergarment. Or really trying to trick the eye with say a belted dress that flares out at the bottom.
But upon reading this blog post over at Messy Nessy Chic I was enlightened to find a pin up girl named Hilda, a creation of illustrator Duane Bryers, who graced the pages of calendars for over four decades.
In all of her pictures Hilda seems carefree and confident in her body. I think the confidence is what brings the sexiness.
She seems a little goofy, but carefree and fun.
And what isn't sexy about that?

I love Hilda! I agree, her carefree spirit makes her sexy. We need to start a bring back Hilda campaign.
ReplyDeleteI never really describe the women in my books, body-type-wise, either. I guess I don't see it as that important or something. Interesting! I'm doing this hop too, a good cause eh? And I love your pin-up girls things; I love the whole retro style in general and always have. I have this huge collection of retro web design art and stuff. Anyway, yes I am rambling. The caffeine.
ReplyDeleteLove Hilda! I never noticed you didn't go into body type in your books. I think I just made it up in my mind anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood cause by the way. My dad has Parkinson's and it's sad to see what happens to a person over the course of a few years.
What a great cause.
ReplyDeleteBody type isn't important - what matters is being comfortable in the skin you're in. I think one of the joys of getting older is losing any hangups you have about being too fat, too thin,too big boobs, not enough boob etc. Learning to care less what others think, but to be grateful that your body still works, or at least some bits of it :D
Thanks so much for taking part in this hop to raise awareness and cash for such a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cause. My father and his sisters had Parkinson's when there was less help. I hope that soon there will be a cure.
ReplyDeleteGreat cause to support, Casey!
ReplyDeleteI loved these pics!
Thanks :)
Hilda looks like a beautiful example of a confident woman. Thank you for showing us!
