Gente! Me dei de presente esta beleza que faz parte da edição limitada da maravilhosa editora de livros de arte, Taschen. Eu vi na Siciliano semana passada e quase pirei com este livro lindo de todas as Pin-Ups do ilustrador Gil Elvgreen!!!!! Ontem entrei lá de novo e não resisti. Comprei. Como é da edição de aniversário ele custou a bagatela de R$ 49 :0 Fiquei muito muito feliz! Por isso quis postar essa dica para minhas amigas blogueiras. Sei que muitas de vocês também amam Pin-Ups. Adorei!!!!!!!! Corram pras livrarias e garantam o seu! É um belíssimo livro!!!!!!

Também há outros livros da edição limitada de aniversário, de imagens relacionadas à moda, design e animação. Vou colocar o link da Taschen abaixo pra vocês darem uma olhada. Mas o livro mais legal pra mim é o das Pin-Ups :)

TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - Special edition!

Large-format hardcover edition at a special bestseller price

Post-depression America was in desperate need of a defining iconography that would lift it out of the black and white doldrums, and it came in the form of Gil Elvgren's Technicolor fantasies of the American dream. His technique—which earned him a reputation as "The Norman Rockwell of cheesecake"—involved photographing models and then painting them into gorgeous hyper-reality, with longer legs, more flamboyant hair and gravity-defying busts, and in the process making them the perfect moral-boosting eye-candy for every homesick private.

"Glamour is back... TASCHEN offers us a look back at these calendar and advertisement goddesses of which Gil Elvgren is king." erotisme-fr.com, France
