3. My dad was always partial to the chubby Bridget calenders

I haven't seen one in ages, but he used to get them for his office. Bridget was a chubby redhead, painted Vargas-style, and her bikini top was always slipping on one side. They were actually very cute.

10. I love his stuff.

His girls need to find some underwear a size or two smaller.

11. I've always loved pin-ups from the '40s and '50s.

The models were beautiful and curvaceous, sexy and innocent at the same time.

Too many erotic models these days are stick figures with sullen expressions.
