Now that was written for the reason of this article ... speaks wonderfully elegant, round, perfectly proportioned, plus size, pear-shaped beauty in the history of Pin-Up Girl: Duane Bryers "Hilda"
One night,during the strip, "Google Images" for content tortuous, I found myself in Les Toil's Big Beautiful Pin Up Gallery. I clicked and followed through its links with the fun and interesting way to find the well-fed, I found images of women that night had begun for us.
After that I did admire the talents of Les, I'm back to its home page and click on a banner cheerful gray-green and yellow with the name "Hilda" written about him. I clicked on it, not at all what I was about ready toto see.
Once the page opened, I stopped and looked puzzled. It was one of those moments when you see something that has got all the world seems to disappear around you, and everything is very quiet in that it restricts attention to what is before you.
Discover Hilda was like discovering a lost treasure. I recognized immediately. I have remembered as a perfect reflection of what I have for years in an idealized feminine form, round, soft,pear-shaped, plump, and attractive to the extreme.
If the natural male instinct is the all-rounder, softer, more generous woman respond, it is understandable why there is so much like them. From his long legs and soft, girlish face, plump, welcoming arms around his waist, and round off, we see a vision of the female form in front of you. Add to all that her large, well-developed breasts, soft, soft belly and waist-hip ratio glorious, and you discover aexample of a perfect full-length. The most perfect size, pear-shaped,
nubile beauty.
Unlike the stick-thin female icons so popular today, Hilda is not a quadratic function. It embodies the highest ideals of a woman old-fashioned round and round. " She is female, the n-th degree.
Duane Bryers was the first illustrator of smaller models as subjects of his art pin-ups to use. Sometimes he did not use a model to all and painted from memory or imagination. A feat, according toPin up artist Les Job, "the most impressive!"
