At Esquire, they actually hired a guy to write the one-line quips and titles, as well as poems, that went with the Petty Girl drawings. Needed to get someone to create some entendre and more sex than she already had. These comments are a genre all by themselves, and they're usually in the titles of captions accompanying the piece, on calendars or covers or little cards. For zample, I forget if it's Elvgren or Moran or who, but it's a period drawing view of a maid feather dusting, in a micro outfit, bent over lusciously, and she turns her head to respond [to the entrant "viewer"], "No; the maid is around the back." ("Would you like to come up and grab my hips while I feather dust your shoes and bald spot?") That might be a Petty, actually. On an Elvgren there's the ubiquitous little doggie miscreant who has managed to get his mistress' skirt worked open with his leash-tether, and it's titled "Man's Best Friend." But a couple of the most bizarre I have are "Movie News" magazines, I think. From the 40's. They are so suggestive and....golly, creepy, and brilliant in a way, and I gotta get them scanned. Girls performing virtual sex acts with anything usable ~ garden swings, teeter-totters, fruit trees, dogs, boats..... it must have taken some real mental effort to make a "G" picture XXX. Long days at the office. "What am I gonna do with her now?" It IS really difficult to explain. But it's definitely "real." We have probably 20 or 30 excellent pieces we've collected over the years. I just wonder where they are.....
