I used to date a petty girl, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't the same kind as these ones.
Great pics though, thanks!comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57871-1558823Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:07:41 -0800Alvy AmpersandBy: mediareport

I've tried to like Nagel, squirrel, and think I get why some folks like him, but his design and colors just leave me completely cold. *shrug* It also doesn't have the historical resonance that Petty does for me. I guess I'm not sure why you brought Nagel up here. Do you not like the Petty stuff?comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57871-1558825Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:13:17 -0800mediareportBy: neckro23

nagel was proof that cocaine was out of control back then. luckily, aids found a cure for him.
if one like's the petty girl, i recommend a search for such masters such as <a href="http://arterotica.nice.ru/index.php/images/Alberto_Vargas/">Vargas</a>, <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/elvgrenindex.html">Elvgren</a>, <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/armstrong.html">Armstrong</a> and <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/munson.html">Munson</a>.
Or maybe some contemporary guys like <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/mobius.html">Mobius</a>, <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/lartigue.html">De Lartigue</a>, <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/gray.html">Gray</a>, and <a href="http://www.thepinupfiles.com/posada.html">Posada</a><sup>*</sup>.
<small>Disclosure: I'm a huge fan of this stuff, so much so I have a tattoo of a Vargas girl on my leg. That and pin-up art is a hobby of mine.</small>
There's a ton more out there. If you don't like one style or artist, you just haven't found the right one yet.

<i>He's no Art Frahm, either.</i>
Frahm always cracks me up. But there's something about Petty that seems <a href="http://www.paintedanvil.com/gpet/petty51.jpg">classier</a> than the rest, phone fetish and all. I was flipping through a stack of old Esquires a few months back and his ads just leaped out.

Nagel was quintessential '80s. I'm always reminded of Miami Vice, Phil Collins, and Grace Slick when I see Nagel prints.
Petty, of course, is timeless.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57871-1559087Fri, 19 Jan 2007 08:37:03 -0800dsquidBy: mediareport

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends.
