Or: Something For The Fellas, Something For The Females
Ha! You’re SO sexist! You TOTALLY thought I meant that the pin-ups were for the men and the dresses were for the women. But nooo. I meant that the nudie cuties were for the gay gals and the grossly overpriced gowns were for the uber-wealthy cross-dressers.
Gosh, you must feel so dumb. You know what they say about assumptions making asses out of you and mptions. But I forgive you. After all, I’m not just totally accepting of every lifestyle, I’m also uncommonly forgiving. Saint Ju-osh - that’s me. Now onto to the sketchbook soft-core!
Check. It. Out. Pen and pencil pin-ups from the classic Disney crew. We’re talking top-tier cheesecake from the forefathers of cutie-pie cartooning. What could possibly be more exciting (ew, no!) thrilling (nope) stimulating (are you even trying?) nice to look at? (MUCH better!)
First up, Giles “Frenchy” de Tremaudan:
Here’s a set of nudes from Grim Natwick:
Next in line, the creator of the ‘Disney look’ as we know it, Freddy Moore:
Last but not least, Paul Murry:
Who’s still with me? Perfect! Now let’s show the depth and breadth of our rarefied taste by settling in for some incredibly expensive, one of a kind gowns…themed to Disney princesses.
These photos are all from the online catalog for Christie’s upcoming auction of vintage couture. Profits will benefit Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

Aurora: An Elie Saab blush pink evening gown.
Ariel: A Marchesa teal silk evening gown.

So there you have it. Dresses and the undressed. Not your typical Disney-themed post.
