SO MUCH FUN TO SEE HOW MUCH PEOPLE LOVE THE PIN-UP GIRLS OF THE 1940'S !!

OUR BRAVE HEROES IN IRAQ ARE BIG PIN-UP FANS !! THEY ARE SUCH GREAT SUPPORTERS OF THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" PROJECT !!

OUR SPECIALLY TRAINED SECURITY FORCES DID A GREAT JOB KEEPING THINGS ORDERLY AT THE MARCH AIR FORCE BASE "AIRFEST 2008"---WITH 400,000 VISITORS....THEY SURE HAD THEIR JOB CUT OUT FOR THEM !!!

UP-DRAFTS MAY BE GOOD FOR GLIDERS, BUT NOT FOR PIN-UP GIRLS IN DRESSES !!! THE WINDS AT MARCH AIR FORCE BASE MAKE IT A CHALLENGE FOR A POSING PIN-UP GIRL TO KEEP EVERYTHING UNDER WRAPS !!
