Hilda














Hilda: 1950s-era pin up girl by Duane Bryers. More information about Hilda here. The article says that Hilda was never put in demeaning situations because of her weight, but I question this. Images of Hilda forlorn next to an empty sundae glass, walking a pet pig, or in a bikini made of a flour sack (presumably because she's too large for anything else) pepper the rest of the fun, beautiful art featuring nature and animal-lover Hilda. However, most of the pin ups are lovely, and I'm not going to complain about anything as lovely as Hilda.
