Vintage lingerie
We love this 1950s bullet bra ad from Formfit - "For a Sweetheart of a Figure".
The Formfit Company was established in 1917 with headquarters in Chicago as a maker of women’s “foundation garments” – mainly corsets and girdles. It was one of the largest, if not the largest manufacturers of such products in the world. At their Chicago headquarters they had a building a block long and eight stories high which housed manufacturing, shipping and sales. Later they also became known for other types of lingerie, particularly bras and briefs.

February pinup girl by artist Al Moore
This February pinup girl was painted by Al Moore for the 1950 Esquire calendar.
Al Moore's breakthrough assignment was being chosen by Esquire to replace Alberto Vargas, the most popular pin-up artist of the day. Among his triumphs at the magazine were his creation of the Esquire Girl (his answer to the Varga Girl), the 1948 Esquire calendar (with Ben-Hur Baz and others), front covers in 1948 and 1949, and the rare honor of painting the entire 1949 and 1950 calendars himself. By 1950, his two-page gatefolds in Esquire were collected by millions of Americans.

Mosh - pin-up model
Says Russian born Mosh: "I started modeling in 2006 and am now a full time freelance model and occasional performer. I love modeling fetish, alternative, glamour, lingerie and almost everything in between."
Sean Cummings at Alt Magazine says she is perhaps today’s hottest alternative/fetish model in the industry. What separates Mosh from her peers is her ability to contort her body “beyond belief while commanding the camera’s attention better than any other Alternative model.” Mosh was a gymnast for 10 years.

Doris Mayday - pin-up model
Doris Mayday is every curvaceous inch the archetypal "blonde bombshell". She is the perfect pin-up girl who might easily have just emerged from a 1950s Hollywood studio set.
She actually took on the stage name of "Doris Mayday" when she was on a roller derby team.
Says Doris: "I was born and raised in Las Vegas with my folks coming from West Virginia. I’m a huge vintage nerd, and never planned on modeling. My original dream was to either own my own theme park or to be a sex therapist! I even went to college at 16 to get a head start. Modeling has fallen into my lap and I couldn’t be happier!"
Lingerie in this shot is from Secrets in Lace.
