Yeager was a very prolific and successful pinup photographer in the 1950s and 1960s, so much so, that her work was described as ubiquitous in that era. She continued to work extensively with Playboy shooting eight centerfolds in addition to covers and pictorial spreads. She discovered Lisa Winters, the first Playmate of the Year. Yeager also appeared in the magazine as a model five times. One appearance with the headline, "Queen of the Playboy Centerfolds", was photographed by Hugh Hefner. Known as the 'Queen of Pinups,' her measurements have been reported as the impossible sounding 36-23-35 (bust-waist-hips, in inches), making her the stuff of post-World War II era dreams. For the most part, people either lusted after her or wanted to be her and she has been attributed with helping to usher in the sexual revolution of the 1960s. merchandising fetish art, burlesque photography, and fetish films; patron of illustrative fetish artists Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew I was never one who was squeamish about nudity. I don't believe in being promiscuous about it, but several times I thought of going to a nudist colony." He explained that since Spider-Man was so famous, it might draw attention to him as an artist if people knew he contributed to the creation of the character,” Amber wrote. “My brother and I were children and in school, and he feared that it could negatively effect our lives if people knew he was an erotic fetish artist.”

There are peripheral elements, things that may have been cropped out,” Rhody continues. “You can sometimes see beyond the bondage equipment and notice a domestic setting, like a kitchen with some old beer bottles on the stovetop, for example.” I’m not interested in these images as burlesque or fetish ephemera,” Rhody notes. “Taken out of their context after 70 years, they’re not even that pornographic. No more-so than your average television commercial.” Leave the cutesy kid stuff behind. I specialize in bringing out the allure and sensuality in my female subjects. Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Eartha Kitt. Those weren't little girls playing dress up but REAL WOMEN who knew how to use what their mammas gave 'em! My favorite actress of all times is Bette Davis in Dark Victory. I have seen it six or seven times and I still cry." Technically, there has been some image processing to remove scratches and blemishes from the originals, plus a little contract and brightness stretching.A sus 85 años, Bettie muere en la ciudad de Los Ángeles el 11 de diciembre de 2008 por una neumonía.

Marie-Pierre Pruvot, otherwise known as "Bambi". A transsexual pioneer (having transitioned in 1960). Out-of-context is precisely where Rhody finds their charm. His curatorial tendencies lean toward the found photographic object; the re-contextualized, or appropriated image. Teaserama is a 1955 American low-budget sexploitation film directed by Irving Klaw. It follows the performance of a burlesque show. Because of the political and social pressure Irving Klaw faced, he eventually quit the business, burning his negatives when he went. (It is estimated that more than 80% of the negatives were destroyed). Paula Klaw secretly kept in her possession some of the better images that we are still enjoying today. Technically, I have greyscaled the original image, performed some "healing" and cloning to remove the inscription and then added the colour layers one by one. One is never certain if the colours are accurate and therefore the representation is to my taste and interpretation.

And Ditko was completely accepting of Stanton: ‘He thought my stuff was funny. We’d laugh a lot,’ Stanton said, as he fondly remembered years later. ‘Every experience that I had with Steve was terrific, as far as I was concerned.’” While we can only rely on hearsay and the remnants of a mostly lost archive, the legacy of the Klaws remains largely positive. Still, such charged imagery is bound to divide some viewers, even today. Perhaps the printed program featuring commissioned essays from artist, writer and educator Courtney Fellion of the San Francisco State University School of Cinema and Albuquerque-based writer and artist Delaney Hoffman will help contextualize the exhibition.

Rund, The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline (Second Edition, Revised & Enlarged) New York: Bélier Press, 1999. p. 92.Paula hiding and preserving those images in what likely was an incredibly stressful situation goes to show how even when being beaten down, she was confident that what they were doing was not wrong. Her actions say ‘there’s value in these,’” Rhody says. “Irving Klaw went before the Senate and pleaded the Fifth Amendment until he was held in contempt of court. I read that for the rest of his life he’d clip out images of BDSM-like material he found in mainstream, popular culture because he wanted to prove that he never did anything wrong.” Klaw always went to great pains to make sure his photographs contained no nudity, which would make the material pornographic and hence illegal to sell via mail. Models were often required to wear two pairs of panties so that no pubic hair could be seen. [8] It was, in short, just the kind of setup that encouraged the two artists to kibbitz each other’s work. And also to lend each other a hand when deadlines loomed. I personally find these images delightful. Bambi's natural poise and femininity are so obvious in these early shots.
