Russian Bank Pinup Babes Invite You To Make A Deposit

Jonnobot — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 12:47:50 EST

While perestroika inaugurated a system of economic reforms that resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union, let's not forget that it also ultimately allowed hot Russian bank tellers to become pin-up calendar girls ... all in the name of improved international relations! Retail and commercial banking group Expobank has published a customer giveaway calendar featuring twelve of the bank's sexiest employees, scantily clad in provocative poses with tongue-in-cheek bank slogans, as a promotion for VIP clients. "I keep getting compliments about the calendar from my VIP clients, especially from the men — but the women say nice things too," Miss March Anna Pogodina was quoted as saying in the Daily Mail this weekend. "I didn't expect, when I was having my picture taken, that I would see my name and full job title on the calendar. I was really surprised — and rather pleased." It does make you wonder, though, why these women are working in a bank. Imagine if Gisele Bündchen was processing the paperwork for your car loan? - JC

Vintage Smut: Kitschy French Postcards

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:53:16 EST

Have you ever noticed that despite the fact that people buy, sell, collect, and exhibit all those postcards you come across in online galleries like this one, no ever seems to get one in the mail anymore? In our entire life we think we've sent and received maybe five postcards in total, yet the postcard industry continues to thrive despite our indifference. Perhaps that's because the business has always thrived on the type of folks who simply add pictures of naked women to their glossy paper stock and call it a day. This French site chronicles the time-honored traditions that have sustained the postcard industry for decades ... and proves our theory that anyone who's interested in collecting these things would never even think of putting a stamp on them anyway.

Intensity Studios: Sparkly Nudes By Antonio Carrasco

Fleshbot — Mon, 07 May 2007 14:53:17 EDT

If New Orleans native Antonio Carrasco's super sexy pinups and glamour nudes weren't enough to get us all hot and bothered on their own, his backstory has certainly warmed out hearts at least: a former "strung out transient" who dabbled in counterfeiting money as a hobby, Carrasco cleaned himself up and took his act on the road to California, where he's amassed a pretty stunning portfolio full of star-spangled nudes and some of the tastiest cheesecake it's ever been our pleasure to drool over. Says the artist, "Now, despite the dark days in the past, the future looks bright." We'll certainly be keeping an eye on his sparkly creations in the meantime. Pulling one's self up by one's bootstraps never looked so hot.
