Hilda, the creation of illustrator Duane Bryers (191-2012) and pin-up
art’s best kept secret. Voluptuous in all the right places, a little
clumsy but not at all shy about her figure. Hilda was one of the only
atypical plus-sized pin-up queens to grace the pages of American
calendars from the 1950s up until the early 1980s, and achieved moderate
notoriety in the 1960s. Not only was Hilda one of the only plus-sized pin-up girls of her time,
but she also displayed a fun, carefree and somewhat clumsy attitude,
making her all the more charming. The typical 1950s pin-up girl was slim and conventionally-posed. But a
recently-unearthed collection of images has revealed the less familiar
Hilda, a plus-sized redhead who broke the mold with her plump figure and
light-hearted demeanor. Good Evening My Dear Friend "Beauty is the size of your heart, not the size of your waist. Your body is a temple; honor and adore it, just as it is. Every body size is beautiful." Always be who you are,not who the world wants you to be. Be yourself and make the world adjust! Enjoy your evening/night in your own way Always loves and hugs, XXOO ~WW~ {Sue}
