Since Feb 2009, I've picked up 250+ movie posters (about 1/2 my collection) that emphasize female beauty. Most of these are PG/R posters - I don't have many so-called "sexploitation" posters. Now if I could just "pick up" the real 3D beauties so easily! Here is the direct link to my beauty collection. Here's a photo of my beauty wall (or "spank" wall as Fallen terms it!): |

You know I love that collection of yours, Mel. That's a great collecting theme, and one that's not been done before. Very very cool.

Best regards, Holiday My Poster Collection"What happened to all the people?" Mystified MPF Member, February 20, 2010 "I actually quite like the name Peanut." Andy Neal on MOPO, April 22, 2010 Thierry: Type the word APF on MPF and it spells: "Banned due to malicious unsolicited private message ". Charlie to the guy who lost to EatBrie: You just got "T-boned"! Happens to the best of us... Wait until you get "Holidazed"! Thierry to Silhouette: Please tell her it's a tiny part of my collection so she doesn't think I'm a total creep. Oh wait, no, I am a total creep. |

Yours is a collection I truly admire. A brave choice, and worthwhile.

Sophia Loren huh? It seems you are going to have to change the title to Mostly Modern Beauties |

Yeah, we've had the modern/vintage debate on this board - there's not a strict dividing line. The 1964 Sophia Loren poster above looks very "modern" to me (and pretty risque for 1964 - was that really posted in regular theaters?) Whereas this 1963 Sophia Loren poster looks very "vintage" to me and has less appeal to me. Same thing with the Beatles IMHO. I consider their early 60s stuff "oldies" but their post-1964 recordings are modern. |

The Europeans have always been more mature about sexuality. We could use more of that attitude in the US (along with less religiosity and fewer guns but those are issues for other forums....) |

Picked up this original obscure Gladiatress poster from tloce (another infamous seller with a bad rep - deserved or not - but that's another story). I love the tagline: "Does my gluteus maximus look big in this?" Now who can say I don't have a good low-brow sense of humor?  |

WOW Mel, I may just start picking a few of those up myself. I do collect sexploitation and soft porn as it is a dead genre in this country. I'll try and dig some out and post them.

Hey Mel, you know what would fit REALLY well in your collection (one of many I am sure) is a Polish Star 80. I have meant to grab it a few times but it always slips by for some reason.

I do like that Polish Star 80 and I'm not normally a huge fan of Polish posters. I'm not really collecting sexploitation/soft-porn posters, Paul, just posters that feature female beauty. This "Ridicule" poster is really my ideal "find": |

Whoah... I just showed my wife and even she loved that one! Who owns it and is that the only copy? It must be one of those >$50K jobbers, huh? Guy's gotta dream, right? |

Nevermind... I just found it at Christie's. It's an Austrian 3-sheet and it sold in 2005 for $33k... there is hope yet!  |

ahhh, I found it in one of my movie poster books and figured it belonged in this thread. I had no idea that it carried that kind of price tag. But, with that image and Marlene Dietrich, it is not surprising.
