America's Forgotten Pin-Up Girl

This had the most interesting effect on me. As a zaftig type myself I realized how seldom we are portrayed so sweetly (in spite of a few pokes re eating or size) and sexily and alive. First I got all gooey over how sweet and alive she is, and then I teared up. But she's definitely worth a share. I wonder if posters are still around anywhere.

I personally LOVE the teddy-bear type. Sweet, cuddly, and oh-so-huggable! Some women may love those ripped abs, but give me the guy with some meat on his bones and a twinkle in his eye....

Big, little, zaftig, all angles, the best thing is a big laugh and a big heart.
