The 2012 Collector’s Calendar from Secrets In Lace features pinups wearing classic lingerie posing in front of WWII airplanes. Yeah, airplanes, that’s why we said “flyboys.” Yeah, that’s it. Pinup photographs taken by Michael Malak.

I Found Rainbow Bright’s Nightie
A vintage peignoir of sheer double-layers of nylon in panels of pink, blue, and green. The seller says it’s made by Deena in the 1960s. …OK, so maybe it belonged to Rainbow Bright’s mom?

Beware Of Liquor That Knocks Your Hat Off
So warns this risque vintage postcard (via A Slip Of A Girl). I’m guessing that artist Tony Roy expected lady’s underpants to be worn as hats at some point in the evening… Which only further drives home the point about imbibing too much. So here’s to a happy & safe New Year’s Eve, for you, your panties and your hats.
PS I love that the “i” is upside down in “liquor.”

Dolls From The 1957-58 Aldens Catalog
Some selected dolls from the Fall and Winter Aldens catalog. There’s Dennis The Menace…
Little Miss Revlon, with her Magic-Touch skin (a phrase that creeps me out) and her “‘Form-Fit’ bra and girdle with nylon front” (FormFit being a lingerie company all-too wiling to confuse the lines between girlhood and womanhood)…
And my personal favorite, Patti Prays doll — or Pattie Prays, depending on whether you believe the type by the image of the doll or the text used in the catalog description. (Not to be confused with Patty Prayer doll by Niresk.)

This 1968 French ad for Star lingerie translates to, “a line that has the… dog.”
