My constant scouring of the InterWebs for the very best in afternoon time-wasters has uncovered a gem: Brenda’s Babes<\/a>, a blog wherein a woman who collects vintage pin-up art shares her treasures with the world, one piece at a time.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I quite enjoy pin-up art (yes, kids, that’s right! It’s another Random Factoid About Me\u2122!). The appeal is two-fold. First, there’s the obvious reason: I’m a guy, and I like looking at pictures of pretty girls who aren’t wearing much in the way of clothing (although pin-up art doesn’t necessarily require skimpy attire or nudity). The other reason is that I just like the retro aesthetic of the classic pin-ups, the general look of ’40s and ’50s-vintage illustration. It’s part of my whole fascination with a time period I never lived through, I guess.<\/p>\n

This Brenda who runs the pin-up blog is currently a finalist in a contest that required her to make a video<\/a> about her collection. She stands to win $20K if her video gets enough votes, so go give it a look, and if you like what you see, drop a vote for her.
\nBe aware that her collections feature lots of ladies in their underwear and occasionally some mild nudity (including a very unexpected image<\/a> of a topless Betty White in her younger days. Yes, that<\/i> Betty White<\/a>, the one from The Golden Girls<\/i>! She wasn’t always<\/i> somebody’s grandmother, you know…), just in case that sort of thing bothers you…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
