Download or read book The Little Big Book of Legs written by Dian Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lovely legs: A new low-cost tribute to the shapely pedestals of female charm The female leg is an erotic oddity: non-genital, and nearly identical in structure to the male limb, there is no obvious reason why it should be eroticized. Yet through much of history, across many cultures, the female leg was kept covered and treated as taboo, until it became an object of sexual obsession. In Victorian times, the word 'leg' was forbidden in polite society, lest gentlemen be driven wild with lust. Even now, 80 years after women's legs finally came out of hiding, their allure remains mysterious and powerful. The third in Dian Hanson's wildly successful series on erotic body parts is now downsized in a lighter, more portable edition that retains all the original photos and text. Explore how the female leg became central to women's emacipation, from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution. Over 400 photos document the first burlesque shows of the 1800s, the silk-stockinged flappers of the 20s, the nylon-mania of the 40s, the dawn of the stiletto in the 50s, and the golden age of leg magazines in the 60s. Who wore the first high heels, how did nylons become a weapon of war, why were Betty Grable's the "million dollar legs," where did Elmer Batters get his start, and just what is the deal with feet? The answers are all here, along with vintage photos by Irving Klaw, Peter Gowland, Bunny Yeager, Batters, and other great masters of leg art. Text in English, French, and German

Narrating both the physical and emotional challenges, DeAndrade offers a look at her strength in facing her challenges head on in a story filled with both integrity and interminable sass. Little Legs, Big Heart journeys through tears, laughter, devastation, and hope as it tells about a girl on a mission to find her identity. It gives a new perspective on life’s challenges and shows the world how to meet the varied demands of life with grit and grace.

Download or read book The Little Big Book of Legs written by Dian Hanson and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viele liebten The Big Book of Legs, doch auch manch beinharter Bewunderer fand den über 3 kg schweren Brocken schlichtweg zu schwer. Er war zwar vollgepackt mit wohlgeformten Beinen aus einer Zeitspanne von sechs Dekaden - von den ersten verschämt freigelegten Knöcheln der 1910er- und übers Knie gerollten Strümpfen der 1920er-Jahre über die von Nylonstrümpfen und Stöckelschuhen geprägten 40er- und 50er-Jahre bis hin zu den sexuell befreiten 60ern und 70ern -, hinterließ aber unschöne Abdrücke auf den eigenen Oberschenkeln, wenn man sich zu sehr darin vertiefte. Glücklicherweise hören wir von TASCHEN auf ihr Stöhnen - ob aus Lust oder Leid; und deshalb erscheint jetzt diese leichte, handliche Neuausgabe, die über 150 der besten Bilder aus dem Originalband zu einem kompakten (und unter uns: ganz entzückenden) Paket schnürt. Von Betty Grable bis Betty Page stehen hier die besten Beine des 20. Jahrhunderts Spalier, fotografiert von Irving Klaw, Bunny Yeager und natürlich dem unvergleichlichen Elmer Batters, Vater der Leg Art. Es gibt Seiden- und Nylonstrümpfe, jede Menge High Heels, geschwungene Waden, straffe Schenkel und verspielte Zehen - und das Ganze ohne lästigen Text. Ein wahrer Festschmaus für Fans und Fetischisten.

Download or read book Skinny Legs and All written by Tom Robbins and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2003-06-17 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant together across the street from the United Nations.... It sounds like the beginning of an ethnic joke, but it's the axis around which spins this gutsy, fun-loving, and alarmingly provocative novel, in which a bean can philosophizes, a dessert spoon mystifies, a young waitress takes on the New York art world, and a rowdy redneck welder discovers the lost god of Palestine--while the illusions that obscure humanity's view of the true universe fall away, one by one, like Salome's veils. Skinny Legs and All deals with today's most sensitive issues: race, politics, marriage, art, religion, money, and lust. It weaves lyrically through what some call the "end days" of our planet. Refusing to avert its gaze from the horrors of the apocalypse, it also refuses to let the alleged end of the world spoil its mood. And its mood is defiantly upbeat. In the gloriously inventive Tom Robbins style, here are characters, phrases, stories, and ideas that dance together on the page, wild and sexy, like Salome herself. Or was it Jezebel?

Book excerpt: John Price appears to have thrown in the towel. He has spent the last year struggling to support his family, neglecting to spend time with his wife and children, and becoming increasingly cynical about the degraded state of the natural world around him. After a heart-attack scare, however, his wife demands that he start appreciating all the "good things" in his life: their mouse-infested old house, their hopelessly overgrown yard, and most of all, the joys and humiliations of parenthood. In his quest to become a better father, Price faces many unexpected challenges—like understanding his grandmother’s decision to die, and supporting his nature-loving sons’ decision to make their home a "no-kill zone" for all living creatures. Still he finds the second chance he was looking for—to save himself and, perhaps, his small corner of an imperfect yet still beautiful world.
