Keep this up and I'll need to activate the adult content nanny.
Art Frahm was another of the good pinup creators in the innocent age of romantic and sexy images -- before universal porn in your face. He had a celery fetish, and Lileks wrote a funny piece about it.

Keep them coming, that is art!
Alas, this art form was outlawed by Estes Kefauver's Pin-Up Act of 1958, encouraged behind the scenes by a cabal of Land Grant colleges determined to prevent any investigation into the deleterious effect of celery fumes upon elastic. A small piece of our nation died that day.
Before I begin, I'll ask if you are at all interested in having a discussion about how ideological images such as these lended themselves to many widely accepted beliefs which put (and continue to put) women at a great disadvantage to men - not the least belief being that the perfect woman buys groceries (cooks), is ready for sex at any time (even on a street corner) and must be young, thin and beautiful (culturally defined "beautiful"). Intelligent, educated, resourceful, creative and direct women need not apply. Is that a conversation worth pursuing or would I be just wasting my time? Also, I realize I have a run-on sentence, but just because I am rebellious and obstinate, I am not going to correct it.
Why not? I had the same discussion with Wilma Scott Hiede back in my New Haven days.
First question from my side: What government agencies should decide which images are lawful and which should result in prosecution?
