I was really hoping on a top 10 list of pinups, for Thanksgiving. Once again, my dreams of listing have been brutally shattered by the sad realities: Thanks giving isn't sexy enough for pinups. There are almost no Thanksgiving bombshells, out there.

Yes, I love doing lists for this blog, because it gives me a chance to dive into a massive search for retro girlie art, in Google. I ogle sexy, half naked women, for hours on end, under the pretext of work. (jealous much ;P ) This Thanksgiving, my work has been unproductive.
A Pinup Pioneer
I have managed to find one resilient artist at Cafepress, who made an effort to give thanksgiving it's share of cheesecake.
What Makes a Holiday Sexy
A “Sexy” holiday is a brandable holiday. One that can get the public to heavily consume luxury products. Christmas with the gifts, Halloween with the candy, Valentine's day with cards and bonbons and St. Patrick's day with beer. It looks like Thanksgiving has been stuck with the Turkey. Not a sexy bird (unless you got a major kink).
Why Thanksgiving Isn't Sexy
Many reasons for this. Could be that the historical story isn't sticky enough. Maybe turkeys and turkey basters are too small of a niche, in the sexual consumers community. Maybe it's a “mother's holiday”- too much wholesome family activity involved.
Putting My Foot Down
Just like the environmental issue, once again, I choose to put in my two cents. So here it is, the sexiest turkey-baster-holding momma you'll ever see. Of course, two cents are not enough, so if you know of any Thanksgiving pinups, lurking out there, please, let us all know, in this comment section.
For a sexier Thanksgiving,

Special Update: Vintage Thanksgiving Pinups Found!
A huge Thanks to Edwin J. Doolittle for sending me these two beauties. After a little bit of research, I can finally confirm, that the Native American spoof is an Elvgren. The pilgrim could be either Ted Withers, T.N. Thompson, K.O. Munson, Freeman Elliot, or Al Buell. (If someone knows for sure, please let us all know!)
