320pp, profusely illustrated in b&w and color. From the author/editor of "Glamour Girls Then and Now", "Va Va Voom" and "Bombshells" comes this all encompassing (if not somewhat arbitrary) illustrated dictionary of the one thousand sexiest Twentieth Century objects of not-so-obscure male desire. From pinups to porn stars, first ladies to strippers, scream queens to bathing beauties, they're pretty much all here beginning with the top ten of Marilyn Monroe, Raquel Welch, Jayne Mansfield, Brigitte Bardot, Rita Hayworth, Bettie Page, Sophia Loren, Jean Harlow, June Wilkinson and Cindy Crawford, then spiraling downward past Diane Webber, Traci Lords, Diana Rigg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Carol Doda, Jennie Garth, and Gwen Stefani all the way to Isadora Duncan(!) - number 1000. Each entry includes a brief biography, and in most instances a saucy pic. A pristine copy.

About this title

Synopsis

Here are the women who, over the past century, have captivated our imaginations, fueled our libidos, and won our eternal love. Now these luscious ladies are all in one extraordinary volume.

Glamour Girls encompasses the world's most sensual goddesses from the Gay '90s of Lillian Russell through Clara Bow's Roaring '20s and Rita Hayworth's WWII years, on into the Swinging '60s of Raquel Welch and up to the hottest beauties at the brink of the new millennium. Actresses, figure and fashion models, performers, cult queens, porn stars, news anchors---more than 1,500 women from every field of entertainment are covered with incisive profiles and hundreds of rare photos.

With rankings that are sure to provoke debate and with coverage so thorough that it inspires awe, Glamour Girls is the definitive book on the subject.
