Meet the Garrison Girls:

Meet the Garrison Girls: Army wives recreate the WWII Vargas Girls images for nude calendar in honour of their husbands

Don't peek if you're shy.

Surely our Army can outdo the Brits.

Hey Pete,

Do you think anything like that would fly on our side of the pond?

Any readers want to let their significant others do some modeling?

How about a calendar with pictures of officers wives?

God save the Queen!

Those women certainly aren't of the quality of classic Vargas girl material.

Looking at Vargas drawings are wonderful, true. But I am inspired more by the secret potential of these flesh and blood women. It's less what I see and more what I imagine I see.

Then again, maybe I need to have the doc change my BP meds...

Obviously, you've never had a good look at a typical British woman's dental work when she smiles!

To illustrate Richard's point, here is an link to ebaumsworld. It's Sweden vs UK. You be the judge.

Interesting. Those same pictures of "Swedish girls" were circulating as "Ukrainian girls" in a Power Point going around European email chain mail channels... I got it about 5 years ago.

Gotta love the internet. Anything can be anything you want it to be...

I remember seeing those same pics back in '63! We were told they were typical PDRK spies to be careful of in Sasebo! OMG!! Well, they're certainly well preserved! And, what lovely teeth, too!

Perhaps these pics were taken after sunset...imagine them all wearing burkas. Puts a whole new twist on it, huh? Here's to a Happy Ramadan! (Reaching now for the buffalo wings and the Sam Adams.)

While they may have been inspired by Albert Vargas (I love his work...so much so I dressed as a Vargas girl for my bday! ), they are far from being a Vargas girl. Vargas girls were voluputious, naughty but nice vamps. They portrayed that "come hither" look superbly and could melt men with just a glance...furtive or straight on!

I give those girls kudos for posing, the B&W photo style lends an aura of mystique and I hope that they sell lots of calendars for Help for Heroes and Combat Stress.

Pete.....you bet WE can do better than the Brits!
