All good things must come to an end — that is a fact of life [and, therefore, a conservative truth] and so we must end the week-long celebration of the Fifth Anniversary of these Dispatches.
I don’t know about you, but, for the gang here at TCOTS, it was A Swingin’ Affair. Thanks to all of those who linked and re-Tweeted these celebratory posts — mere words cannot describe how appreciative we are here in the Tiki Bar & Lounge [we have pictures, but they would get us all barred from polite society]. Thanks too to all of you who sent along your congrats — we love you all [in a non-sexual, manly man way].
This year, instead of featuring the work of various photographers across the decades, TCOTS is showcasing the work of one of the best pin-up photographers in the business today.
Celeste Giuliano is an artist who specializes in recreating classic pin-up and glamour shots and her work has been justly praised across the world.
And now, herewith, forthwith, with a fifth, the last post in this series for this year…
EXCELSIOR!…

‘I have always loved the sex appeal of the women from the 40′s and 50′s. The women featured in Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas paintings, as well as the Hollywood starlets of that era, were all glowing with beauty and confidence. During this period, it was more about engaging the viewer with a flirtatious smile, with the tease of a garter or with tantalizing curves. This is something women of all ages, shapes and sizes can experience, but rarely do in today’s world.’
