Russian Real Pin-ups

Jan found this page of new Russian Pinups. They are photos, but quite stylized, may be processed a bit.
"Because of the devastation of World War II, Russian "girls" in the '40s and '50s were taught to be tough and work hard. I am saddened by the fact that Russia never had the chance to enjoy the happy pin-up times of America's postwar period. In fact, cheerful American pin-up art was considered in Soviet Russia to be politically incorrect, decadent and flat-out immoral, the product of a culture that could never understand the true nature of the human condition."

That second one in the green dress looks CGI. Maybe it was just over processed.

Or every other pinup artist.

I think Vargas was the inventor of this style tho, or perfected it.
