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.

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