The Big Book of Breasts

Product Information

Someone donated this to Oxfam but we couldn’t sell it because it blurred the line between erotic art and pornography (which is a difficult line to draw), so I grabbed it for 10p. Sit back, relax, put your glasses on, and cuddle up to the old fashioned pleasure of big natural breasts, in throughly modern 3D. This may seem expensive but it is a fantastic lavish publication with consistently high quality photos of the models and the history of pin up starting after the Second World War.

The Brain Factory’s technique is so subtle it’s hard to even detect the red/blue tint in many of the black and white photos, but when you put on your glasses the curves leap from the page, not in flat layers as in old-style 3D, but as fully rounded body contours. Gravity defying, ridiculously zeppelinesque implants may as well be a pair of Melchet's comedy breasts (see Blackadder II, episode:beer) in my eyes. I understand the need for plastic surgery in certain circumstances - for reconstruction, or for severe psychological reasons - but in terms of aesthetics you cannot beat a pair of real, properly hanging, all natural breasts - whatever the size. Me encantó, me fascinó, en especial cuando finalmente dejaron de hablar de los manes y empezaron a entrevistar a las mujeres que le pusieron el pecho a la industria, las que mostraban cómo era la realidad de frente y lo diversas que son todas las vidas de todas las personas. Starting with the World War II Bosom-Mania that spawned Russ Meyer, Howard Hughes's The Outlaw and Frederick's of Hollywood, Dian guides you over, around, and in between the dangerous curves of infamous models including Michelle Angelo, Candy Barr, Virginia Bell, Joan Brinkman, Lorraine Burnett, Lisa De Leeuw, Uschi Digard, Candye Kane, Jennie Lee, Sylvia McFarland, Margaret Middleton, Paula Page, June Palmer, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Candy Samples, Tempest Storm, Linda West, June Wilkinson, Julie Wills, and dozens more, including Guinness World Record holder Norma Stitz, possessor of the Worlds Largest Natural Breasts.In addition to ARNOLD, her recent works include The Art of Pin-up, Masterpieces of Fantasy Art, and The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta. Admittedly I just picked it up because heheheh boobs, but it was genuinely really interesting and refreshing to see the beauty standards of the 50s-70s (particularly how natural the breasts and pubic hair are).

On the 396 pages of this book Dian Hanson explores the origins of mammary madness through three decades of natural big-breasted nudes. The photography is generally better than it would become in the 80s onward (I got a sense that the older photographers might have a broader interest in their craft), the interviews are good and there's some interesting things about adult magazines, films, burlesque and strip clubs in the introduction. And YES, this book is more than just "ohhh boobies", because, like I said, you can see the trends in style, like with hair and makeup, and the evolution of body-style, and stuff like that, which I found interesting. Compiled from the original 398-page edition of The Little Big Book of Breasts as well as subsequent Big Breast Calendars for 40% new content. Whether or not big breasts feature highly on your own erotic agenda, this lavishly illustrated book is a pleasure to browse.Starting with the World War II Bosom-Mania that spawned Russ Meyer, Howard Hughes s The Outlaw and Frederick s of Hollywood, Dian guides you over, around, and in between the dangerous curves of infamous models including Michelle Angelo, Candy Barr, Virginia Bell, Joan Brinkman, Lorraine Burnett, Lisa De Leeuw, Uschi Digard, Candye Kane, Jennie Lee, Sylvia McFarland, Margaret Middleton, Paula Page, June Palmer, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Candy Samples, Tempest Storm, Linda West, June Wilkinson, Julie Wills, and dozens more, including Guinness World Record holder Norma Stitz, possessor of the World`s Largest Natural Breasts.
