Art Frahm
I guess most of us have experienced that little mishap of panties that all by a sudden just falls off and lands around our feet. I know, it happens all the time! On the buss. While bowling. When our hands are full of grocery bags... Haha! Someone who has illustrated this lingerie malfunction is pin-up artist Art Frahm. Frahm lived in Chicago, and was active from the 1940s to the 60s. He was commercially successful, and he often painted his pin-ups as damsels in distress, where the dropping of the panties was a recurring theme. Here are some of them. But if you want to see more of Frahm's work, visit his gallery at The Pin-Up Files!
lovely illustration...and quite funny! though I think this kind of thing happens more often in imagination than in real life:)
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of panties that ties in the sides with silk ribbons. The first time I used them, I just tied normal bows - without considering the fact that those silky ribbons could slide a bit when I walked. Felt them getting looser and looser, and almost lost them on the subway... Now when I use them, I tie double knots! :) xx
DeleteHaha...these are so cute!! Well, the panties they wore back then could have more than likely fallen down so easily, so big and loose they were. I remember I had a play pair of ones fromt his time and even when I was older and tried them on, they were quite loose, but very comfy. It would be so funny to be walking and have them drop, hahaha. I would turn all shades of red and run off!! Would be my luck to have it happen too!! Happy Monday doll, I hope it's lovely and sunny where you are. Have a great week :) Xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteMy grandmotehr told me that she once (sometime in the 50's) walked behind a woman who suddenly stopped, stood dead still for a moment or so, before she started to walk again, very quickly. When my grandmother passed the point where she had stopped, she noticed a pair of panties...
ReplyDeleteHaha! Underbart! Trosor var ju lite större förr i tiden, så jag antar att om resåren inte satt lika hårt som nu, så kunde detta alltså hända... :)
