But that scene produced a bigger-than-expected backlash, to the point that one of the writers felt it necessary to apologize for the scene.

Abrams’s second Star Trek movie could casually have a female character strip down to her underwear, in the long, long tradition of women conveniently losing their clothes at opportune moments. Only two years ago, this was still common enough that J.J. It’s part of a growing backlash: among corporations that produce this kind of thing, and against anything that looks like it’s putting women in skimpy outfits for its own sake. The message of the whole calendar is clear: a rejection of what used to be known as “ good girl art,” and of calendars that exist for men to ogle-like, for example, the last 30 or so Pirelli calendars. One of the few people who isn’t fully clothed is Amy Schumer, whose nearly nude pose is deliberately the exact opposite of the usual calendar photo: instead of a self-consciously sexy pose with lots of airbrushing, Schumer and Leibovitz chose a casual pose that emphasizes the real shape of a woman’s body. Instead she focused on fully clad women of achievement, like Selma director Ava DuVernay or beloved New York eccentric Fran Lebowitz. But this time around, photographer Annie Leibovitz eliminated “cheesecake” art almost entirely. The limited-edition calendar has almost always featured what you’d expect: pin-up pictures of supermodels. But that’s what’s happening with the new calendar from the Pirelli tire company. It may seem strange for a calendar-one of the most old-fashioned objects in existence-to be referred to as the herald of a new cultural age. Suggestive content of any kind will always ruffle peoples’ feathers, but life’s no fun without being a little naughty.Carrie Fisher in Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi, 1983.
Future generations can be inspired by what we create and do their own versions of our pin-ups. It’s a legacy of what we, as artists, think is beautiful. I’ll conclude by saying that I think pin-up comics are important. Several of my previous girlfriends have been bisexual, and I’d like to have a fun, sexy comic that we could enjoy together. Why not make some pin-up girls that would be appealing to queer women? This ties back into showing multiple types of sexy– showing pin-up girls that are androgynous could be exciting new territory. Newsflash: there are women who feel romantically attracted to other women.
Look in a new direction and get inspired. There are lots of beautiful people out in the world. There shouldn’t be one type of pin-up girl or pin-up girl comic. Too many pin-up girls look identical, but with different hair colors. There’s room for pin-up girl comics with a focus on humor and romance. We have a glut of comics where the focus is on being gritty and violent. Take Sky Doll for example, which tells the story of a rogue pleasure robot, while weaving in cutting religious and political satire. The quality of the story should match the quality of the art. Pin-up girl comics can deliver more than just cheesecake. If a reader picks up a comic based upon an attractive cover, they expect the art to be consistent throughout. Please note that these principles could also apply to pin-up guy comics.Ĭompare the artistic quality of the cover of the new Barbarella to the interior art. Therefore, I made a list of things I want to see from new pin-up girl comics. That being said, I believe that pin-up girls still have artistic validity and a place in the comic book landscape. Recent comics like Witchblade have toned down the eroticism to appeal to a wider demographic. Comics with sexualized female characters is a factor in alienating female readers. I can understand why many artists have shied away from doing pin-up girl comics. In pin-up art, sexuality is more suggestive than explicit, and overall, the tone is upbeat and fun. By pin-up girl comics, I mean artistic renditions of beautiful women in alluring poses and outfits.
Just flip through a random issue of Low or Saga and you’ll find nudity or intercourse. That’s not to say there is a lack of “sexual content” in comics. The release of the Danger Girl20th anniversary and the return of Lady Death got me thinking about pin-up girl comics. When I look at pages from Danger Girl, I see a ton of fun and some wonderfully exaggerated art that, frankly, you just don’t see anymore.
