BOLLES: Within The Law, 1924
One of the best parts of running the Redhead Project is corresponding with the fun, smart people who contact me about it. Alert reader Jack Raglin sent along a number of Bolles magazine covers that will be appearing in the coming months. He’s a pinup scholar who has been publishing some interesting work that I’ll start working my way through after comps, and was kind enough to mention some misattributions in previous Bolles postings that I need to look into. (Future post to come on that.) He also pointed out this gorgeous new book on Vargas by Reid Austin, which I’ve ordered. Thanks for everything, Jack!
Welcome to Thinkery, est. 2003. At the moment, I'm an Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at Syracuse University. I'm interested in new media, historical conceptions of authorship, and human/machine agency. I write about all of that elsewhere, mostly, and keep this space for other areas of investigation about the world: namely, cooking, gardening, and travel.
Rowr.
This one scares me. Maybe she’ll reach his weapon.

Ash – They come from all over: various websites, books, archives. Some I scan myself, some come from readers who are fans of the Project.
Just delve into the wide world of pinups. There’s lots of resources out there, and they’re a lot of fun to wander through.
