What makes a classic so timeless? The exquisite curves? The overall
design? The ability to go from zero to sixty in neck-snapping
seconds? And no, we're NOT talking about cars! Baron Von Lind knows
how to create pin-up art that's as bewitching and alluring as
anything created in the last century! This second gallery of new
pieces celebrates the Baron's need for luscious ladies in lingerie
and not-so-innocent smiles on beautiful faces!
His first volume of voluptuous vixens snugly bound and trussed up
created more than a few raised eyebrows (and trips to the local
rope store!) Vincent Stephens has been hard at work creating an
all-new collection of wickedly wild and winsome ladies, cuffed,
shackled, and generally all tied up wearing nothing but a knowing
smile! This second volume - subtitled "Tighter and Harder" gives
bondage art fans a freshly built stage on which to enjoy all new
fantasies! And you thought all that nylon cord was just for tying
down canvas covers in the winter - silly boy! You can do a HELL of
a lot more interesting things, and Mr. Stephens shows you the way!
Illustrator Ronnie Werner takes his cue from the classic pin-up
style of the 40's and 50's, but through a very modern lens!
Updating the look and feel of the girls who made Dad and Grandad go
all "hubba-hubba" with a distinctive new flavour born of today's
sensibilities. In other words -- HOT! Able to create illustrations
both realistic and cartoonish, Ronnie blends cool and cute into
some of the most delightful young ladies we've had the good fortune
to ogle! Here's a man well on his way to having to stare at
beautiful models the rest of his life (and get paid for it!). We
think you will enjoy this first-ever overview of Mr Werner's
talents!
Let's face it -- getting real flesh and blood girls to put up with
uncomfortable positions and too-tight ropes can get annoying,
expensive, and in some States -- arresting! But when all you are
using is a Number 2 pencil and some truly inspired cunning, nobody
gets hurt and everyone has a fun time! At least that's the MO that
new bondage artist Steve O Reno uses when sketching out his
nefarious scenes of erotic discomfort -- or what he likes to term
as "Sensual Distress". His ladies are cute, well-endowed, and built
"Cord-Tough!" Sure it's just lines on paper, but what Mister Reno
does with some graphite and clean sheet of paper -- it's truly a
thing of beauty! Kink is cool when Steve hits town, and this first
collection of his works is bound to keep you begging for more!
Bruce Colero has based his entire life and livelyhood on physical
excellence. As a bodybuilder and martial artist, Colero has forged
his own body and mind into a genuine work of art. As the owner of a
health and fitness business based in Canada, he's made his
life-long fascination with the limitless potential of the human
body a country-wide empire. And as an airbrush artist, he's enjoyed
a career creating fantasy and pin-up illustrations of the female
form. It's this third aspect of Bruce's amazing accomplishments
that we're proud to present a full color gallery entitled "Heavenly
Bodies - The Art of Bruce Colero." Using techniques in the real and
virtual world of airbrush and computer, Colero blends the best of
both worlds and the resulting images are both dreamlike and
photo-realistic. A fascinating study of a truly fascinating
individual.
Undressed to impress. When it comes to pleasure, size doesn't
matter, as we all know it's quality, not quantity, that counts. But
let's admit it: a big penis is undeniably compelling. Big
shoulders, big lapels, and big hair may come and go, but the big
penis never goes out of fashion. With those possessing more than 8
inches (20 cm) making up less than 2 per cent of the world's
population, this rare accessory will always fascinate (a word,
coincidentally, derived from the Latin fascinum, meaning both
phallus and magical spirit).In this companion volume to "The Big
Book of Breasts", we explore the centuries-old fascination with the
large phallus, a fascination common to men and women alike. This
hefty book is profusely illustrated with over 400 historic photos
of spectacular male endowments, including rare photos of the
legendary John Holmes. The majority of the photographs are from the
1970s, when the sexual revolution first freed photographers to
depict the male entirely nude. Photographers include Bob Mizer of
Athletic Model Guild, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Colt, Falcon,
Sierra Domino, Third World, and Champion Studios, with each of
these iconic photographers interviewed or profiled, along with
information about each of their models. And if this isn't enough,
the book closes with a special surprise comparable to the Guinness
Book of Records' - Norma Stitz featured in "The Big Book of
Breasts"!
While the female nude has long played a conspicuous role in western
iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such attention,
or acceptance. This ode to the male physique celebrates the
evolving, at one time illicit, art form from anonymous 19th century
erotica through to contemporary work from David Hockney and Duane
Michaels. Through the classic, the playful, and the provocative, it
explores the compositions, postures, and role-playing of this often
under-explored genre. Esteemed masters such as Herbert List, George
Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe are all there, alongside Baron
Wilhelm von Gloeden, famed for his homoerotic images of nude youths
in classical postures in Sicily. Further highlights include
illustrations from Physique Pictorial, the leading organ of the
mid-50s gay scene and a pioneer in gay publishing. About the series

Say no to silicone: The greatest natural breasts of our times Some
call it the American obsession, but men everywhere recognize the
hypnotic allure of a large and shapely breast. In The Big Book of
Breasts, Dian Hanson explores the origins of mammary madness
through three decades of natural big-breasted nudes. 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. The 420 pages of this book
contain the most beautiful and provocative black and white and
color photos ever created of these iconic women, plus nine original
interviews, including the first with Tempest Storm and Uschi Digard
in over a decade, and the last with Candy Barr before her untimely
death in 2005. In a world where silicone is now the norm, these
spectacular real women stand as testament that nature knows best.
The editor: Dian Hanson is a twenty-five-year veteran of men's
magazine publishing. She began her career at Puritan magazine in
1976 and went on to edit a variety of titles, including Partner,
Oui, Hooker, Outlaw Biker, and Juggs magazines. In 1987 she took
over the ?60s title Leg Show and transformed it into the world's
best-selling fetishpublication. Most recently, she authored
TASCHEN's Terryworld, Tom of Finland: The Comic Collection and
History of Men's Magazines six-volume set.
We have grown accustomed to the ubiquity of corporate influence in
retail outlets, restaurants, and even higher education-but what
happens when corporations take over desire? The Naked Result: How
Exotic Dance Became Big Business explores the changing world of
striptease, tracing its path from the unruly underground to
brightly lit, branded "gentlemen's clubs." Drawing on her own
experience as an exotic dancer, Jessica Berson examines the ways
that striptease embodies conflicting notions of race, class, and
female sexuality, and how the exotic dance industry deploys these
differences to codify and commodify our erotic imagination. Chain
clubs, fitness programs, and music videos are moving exotic dance
into the mainstream, and stripping its historical potential to
embody and express subversive desires-erotic and otherwise-and
generate resistant modes of female erotic subjectivity. Through
case studies including Boston's Combat Zone in the 1970s-80s, the
development of lap dancing in London in the 1990s, and the triumph
of corporate striptease in post-Giuliani New York City in the last
decade, The Naked Result reveals an industry that increasingly
eradicates individuality and agency in order to increase profits.
Ultimately, The Naked Result argues that corporatization has
cheerfully smothered the diversity of sexual desire and expression
for both dancers and customers, repackaging the most mysterious
human emotions into easily branded experiences no more personal or
powerful than those to be found in any themed restaurant or coffee
mega-chain.
The great bondage and fetish illustrator Alazar is back, and this
time he's looking where he's NOT supposed to! Taking a brief break
from the ties that bind, Alazar's focus is on briefs! The frilly
little scanty panties worn by girls who seem to always be walking
about in a stiff breeze. Or bending over deeper than they have to.
Or hiking their skirt over their waist. Or generally making a
spectacular spectacle of themselves! There ladies are, by fate or
design - exhibitionists who love to let the rest of us take a peek
at what's just out of sight! Alazar has made a significent study of
such behavior, and has assembled a wide array of illustrations to
make his point. And what lovely points they are! You might blush,
but you WILL look longingly at these Panty Peeks!

Daughters of Darkness is a collection of fine art portraits of
women in corpse paint. A nod to black metal and doom album cover
art, Daughters of Darkness was photographed over 10+ years, with
more than 400 models from all over the world, almost all of which
did their own corpse paint and are fans of black metal. Daughters
of Darkness features many celebrities, actresses, musicians, and
models (some under the cover of corpse painted anonymity) all of
whom donned only corpse paint for this book. Photographed by
internationally renowned music and fine art photographer Jeremy
Saffer, this project combines both his music photography and fine
art photography worlds into a single project, which was conceived
to capture the memory of flipping though albums in a music store
and buying albums based entirely on the albums cover art (which
often featured a nude portrait, someone in corpse paint, or both)
prior to knowing the music or the band. Like the music that
inspired it, Daughters of Darkness shows the duality of finding
beauty in dark imagery, and finding darkness within beauty.
One of the most popular artists to be showcased in SQP's rich
history of illustrators, Pelaez is now given the full gallery
treatment in this oversized colour collection! There are artists
who can paint pin-ups, or fantasy, or even erotica - but few indeed
who can do all three (often at the same time!) Pelaez is the triple
threat that leaves you amazed, impressed, and more than a little
envious of such tremendous talent!
The evil villainess Madame Santina has created an unstoppable army
of megasexual zombies, and it's up to Magenta and her faithful
sidekick Lucrezia to save the day! Or have one hell of a wild night
-- whichever seems the most fun! Retro fun and naughtiness from the
minds of Celestino Pes and Nik Guerra.
There are innovators who blaze trails to show the way forward, and
creative genius Bob Larkin is certainly one of them. His magazine
and paperback covers are both legendary and iconic. From "Conan" to
"Star Wars", "Doc Savage" to "The Hulk", there are few pop culture
touchstones that artist Bob Larkin hasn't brought his unique and
powerful style of illustration to. This full colour retrospective
of over 100 paintings also includes an introduction by Joe Jusko
and an afterword by Alex Ross.

The subjects of her recent art are a logical continuation of the
larger narrative of Benjamin's body of work: She works to excavate
the female human experience as she knows it. Benjamin muses on
intimacy, sexuality, self-perception, body dysmorphia, and trauma
through her avatars. Her work is diaristic, approaching her
subjects through the lens of her own personal experience; each
piece can easily feel like a self-portrait. Her women are
simultaneously self-assured and crumbled, standing defiantly on
their own two hairy legs, yet seeking the shoulder of an empathetic
viewer to cry on. Benjamin uses her art to sort through her own
trauma and self-analysis, and seeks to give faces, bodies, and
narratives to the different facets of her own womanhood.
Such a charming atmosphere. Such a rich history. So many sights to
see. And what a magnificent collection of ropes, chains, handcuffs,
and intricate winch and pulley systems! Proprietor/artist Rich
Larson takes every pain to make his Bed & Bondage the finest in
the land, and in this second collection of delightful damsels in
discipline, truly there are "No Reservations Required!" Like the
first visit to this naughty nirvana, master of the house Larson
combines his wicked imagination to his prodigious illustrative
talents, and let the 5-star reviews pour forth! With his
not-so-silent partner Steve Fastner, they team up for color cover
paintings that will leave any road weary traveler breathless with
anticipation! It's a simple formula of girls + ropes + nasty
thoughts that has Rich Larson's fans returning season after season
for more fun and froth at this most deviate of roadside
attractions! Come for the full-body suspension gear, stay for the
view!
