 What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - unless it's the eye-popping,
smile-producing artwork of that town's most celebrated artistic
influence - Jack Henslee! Texas-born, Henslee started out creating
portraits of Native American and wildlife scenes. It's when he got to
Las Vegas that he started to illustrate that OTHER wildlife of
nightclubs and showgirls!
Then, not surprisingly, his reputation was
really made! An artist of multiple disciplines, this book focuses on
his ability to create inspired illustrations of the female form. In his
portraits, the pin-up standard is transcended, and there's a wonderful
reality to his art. The girls are not so much idealized as lovingly
appreciated, in all their winsome ways! The book is printed on
heavyweight coated stock, and the reproduction of the works is
state-of-the-art! If you're a fan of the pin-up, or just a devotee of
outstanding artworks, this will be a fine addition to your library.

About the Author
Born in Fort Worth, the
journey of Jack Henslee and his art has taken him from coast to coast,
but his inclinations always seem to lead him home to Texas and his
pretty ladies. Inspired in his youth by traditional illustration
disciplines, Jack's first endeavors of creative works focused on Native
American and wildlife themes. Discarding an early inclination toward
architecture, Jack's professional path then drifted toward the
development of an illustrious career among the competitive elite of Las
Vegas illustrators and graphic designers where he distinguished himself
as one of the industry's most prolific and sought-after artisans amid
the exclusive high-dollar hotels and casinos of the strip. Jack now
quietly resides a scant 15 miles from the neighborhood where he grew
up, devoting his full focus back onto his pretty ladies.

- Bad Girls Hotel...
Is this erotic art, a social statement, or is it just pornography’ As a documentation of the wilder side of New York City in the 21st century, Coulter's models are certainly girls on the edge, with tattoos, piercings and dyed hair. They are dancers, escorts, waitresses, and an occasional medical student. But for some reason, they are all drawn to showing off their bodies in ways that reveal not just their private parts, but also reveal their characters and a sense of rebellion. Done in the course of a year at the notorious Carlton Arms Hotel on 25th street, where nobody in their right mind would ever stay, these are strange photos.

- Sex and the Floating World: Erotic Images in Japan 1700-1820...
This revised and expanded second edition of Timon Screech's definitive "Sex and the Floating World" offers a new assessment of the genre of Japanese paintings and prints known as shunga. Changes in Japanese law in the 1990s enabled erotic images to be published without fear of prosecution, and many shunga picture-books have since appeared. There has, however, been very little attempt to situate the imagery within the contexts of sexuality, gender or power.Questions of aesthetics, and of whether shunga deserve a place in the official history of Japanese art, have dominated, and the question of the use of these images has been avoided. Timon Screech seeks to re-establish shunga in a proper historical frame of culture and creativity.

- Seductress: Women Who Ravished the World and Their Lost Art of Love...
Prioleau's captivating debut is a fervid self-help tract well-disguised
as a history. "Seductresses are in fact the liberated women incarnate,"
asserts the author in her opening chapter. "They're the stealth
heroines of history. The first feminists." It's a persuasive argument,
which Prioleau pounds home with massive fists full of quotations,
attributions and texts from anthropology, religion, psychology,
history, art, literature, music and anything else she can get her
hyperintellectual hands on. Modern women have lost their
goddess-centered groove, the Manhattan College professor asserts, and
as a consequence the entire race is going to hell in a male-dominated,
bimbo-focused handbasket.
- Lara Addams...
Being an artist was not planned; it all happened by accident, and has continued to develop that way. Every once in a while, some new and unexpected opportunity has presented itself, and so I've kept on drawing nudes, as and when I have the time to do so. I still describe myself as an "amateur artist".
Lara Addams produces erotic drawings, pinups, and sensual nude figure studies, using pencil and charcoal.
