Vamping for Veterans
Ask a WWII vet if he remembers PIN-UPS and first you will get a smile, then a resounding "YES!" Well those days are gone ... or are they?
This charming lass has put out a calendar to be sent to hospitalized vets, wounded warriors and to boost the morale of troops everywhere. Each of the "Pin-Ups" are a nostalgic look at Pin-Ups from WWII. Betty Gable, eat your heart out.
In an e-mail from Gina she states:
I hope that you will find this project of interest to your readers...Please visit my website at : www.PinUpsforVets.com and go to "In the Field" to see all the Vets and troops with the calendar. You can go to "behind the project" to learn some more about it !Posted by GM Roper at October 5, 2007 06:48 AMI am the blonde, brunette, redhead, and black-haired model in all the photos. This is a one-woman project, but people think that there are different pin-up models in the calendar. The calendar tries to capture some of the nostalgia of the 1940's pin-up photos.
I am hoping your readers will want to purchase my calendars & posters for my visits to the Wounded Warriors and also donate the calendars & posters for the many troop requests and the requests from homeless Veterans shelters I receive !
The proceeds from the 2008 "Pin-Ups For Vets" calendar will benefit a polytrauma center at a Veterans Hospital. This center treats multiple injuries from brain injury to amputations to post-traumatic stress syndrome and many more injuries sustained by our Wounded Warriors.
Thank you so much for your consideration of this project. I am deeply indebted to the bloggers who have posted my project's website, so that I can bring more donated calendars and posters on my visits to the ill and injured Veterans. We cannot forget our brave heroes !
With much appreciation....Gina Elise
