There’s gotta be somebody reading this blog who will enjoy a man this buff in chains that heavy:

When one speaks of the movie Sin City, it’s not unheard of (he said with studied understatement) for fans of the graphic novel source material to wax lyrical about how the movie weren’t fit to be a patch on a boil on the ass of the comics. More polite than most, yet still a member of that fellowship, Faustus saw fit instead to tempt me with delicious drawings of the Nancy Callahan character that Jessica Alba, er, “fleshed out” in the movie. “Skinny little Nancy Callahan. She grew up. She filled out.”

This image of the Three Graces is from a 1500s-era bridal chest, and is a detail from a painting found here:
Supposedly the nudes represent beauty, mirth, and creativity; if so, all I can figure is that Mirth is the one with her back to us. That, or the painter in question couldn’t paint an ounce of affect or expression with a gallon of paint, because nobody in the painting has anything resembling an upbeat facial expression. I find this odd in a painting that’s supposed to be in celebration of marriage, as per the caption:
Anonymous painter called Pseudo Granacci, Triumph of Venus, c. 1500, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore. Venus, the goddess of love, here champions good marital conduct. She has captured naughty Cupid and restrains him with her belt. Venus also prepares the way for the Three Graces–representing beauty, mirth, and creativity–shown nude at right. The frequent depiction of restraint, mature guidance, and good feminine behavior was a response to the age disparity common in Renaissance marriages. Thirty-year-old grooms entered into quasi-parental relationships with teen brides whose capacity for virtue was considered dubious.
I’ll betcha those teen brides could smile better than that, though.

In response to the two recent posts that featured Uschi Digard (here and here), a fan emailed me this link to a video of Uschi “enduring” a fake whipping (note the telltale not-shackles that wouldn’t stop Andre The Giant from taking his hands out) in a 1973 movie called Superchick. I think we can safely assume the welts are done with red ink:

Somewhere I found this photo of Jessica Alba doing her cowgirl-stripper routine in the movie Sin City:
