The 'Vargas Girl' Challenge

JRPerrone said:
Ladies, I have a new challenge for you. Photograph yourself as a 'Vargas Girl'. If anyone is unfamiliar with Alberto Vargas, he painted iconic 'pinup girl' images mostly in the World War II era. He was published regularly in Esquire and later in Playboy. His work was often reproduced as "nose art" on WWII aircraft.

I was reminded of him recently when I happened upon one of his late works painted shortly before his death: the album cover for "Candy-O" by The Cars.

It occurred to me that the beautiful and creative Ladies of Lit could do a great job channeling his work.

So the challenge is simple: find a Vargas work you like and shoot your own rendition of it. Post the original and your version together.

Look him up, there are hundreds of images to choose from.

Right or wrong, it's hot, which I think might be the problem with this contest. Who cares if it's Vargas if in a pic like that? I'm just happy you shared.

Its not a contest but a challenge. There is a major difference. No one said this photo isn't hot. Its very important to READ things before you make a judgement. The photo and the model are both lovely but as OAP said they do not portray the flirtiness and the playful characteristic of a Vargas print. That is the whole point of this challenge. There is a particular theme that the thread starter suggested and the point is to produce a picture in line with that theme.

You my sexy friend, just made Varga proud.
:kiss::rose::rose::rose::heart::kiss:
 
I always loved Varga, its sexy, sensual.
So when I saw this thread, I knew I had a 30 year old La Perla body , in my vintage lingerie drawer.
So my little attempt to recreate this Varga picture, :eek:

You look amazing, you have nailed it. I had no idea who Varga was before this, I obviously knew of the pin ups but not him, so have also learnt something :)

I'm going to LOVE this Varga Emmy and now another temptress from freedom but anything that might restrain her spirit AlliaPotestas

Emmy I can't wait to see more, Maybe I can pick the model and you recreate in your image and vision

It's not, but the things I mentioned earlier are pretty much what the differences are in the two photos. Her pose makes me think of an Art Nouveau nymph, not a pin-up girl.

I take the point but if she'd cropped the head, as a lot of us do, it would look a lot like the print... either way I am very jealous of her body :)
 
AlliaPotestas said:
I think it is fair to say I would have never have made a decent Vargas girl, now if you were talking British war posters I may have been passable as a robust land girl, I certainly could have dug for victory...

Anyway I had a go but had to use artistic licence as I don't own anything transparent enough... also in rummaging for something transparent I can see I have left my drawers open - I'm not sure why I'm apologising to an internet of strangers for the state of my bedroom, that is slightly weird...

While I'm in complete agreement with your assessment and comments I'll also point out that there's often a misunderstanding with challenge vs. competition. I'm hoping that one of the positive aspects of this thread will be a better understanding of Vargas girl methodology. He emphasized a flirty, fun form of eroticism in his prints that was universally accepted.

I look forward to seeing the ladies do this. I had fun in a couple boudoir pics that I did once that made me feel "pin-up-ish" so I am sure many will do well with this. :)

Well done Emmy, the trouble with Vargas is his models are a wet dream image of woman I prefer your photo..
