Yvette's Inner Geek Blog

While browsing through 50 vintage-style photos of current stars here on Listal, the one I felt had the most geek cred was of Carlo Gugino (who plays the original Silk Spectre in the Watchmen movie) playing chess—and oh, yes, she is touching your piece before the game has even started.

The rest aren’t really geeky, but some are very cool. From what I can tell, the person who compiled the list just nabbed photos from all over the web with the loose theme of current celebrities in a pin-up style. Some were more slutty than sexy, and many were vintage-ish but the photography didn’t match the style or they were anachronistic.

These ones were the closest to what I think of as True Vintage Pin-Up:

(Isla Fisher, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rachael Taylor, Alice Braga, and Scarlett Johansson)

And these were ones that are of varied styles and each wonderful in their own vintage way:

(Rose McGowan, Zooey Deschanel, and Evan Rachel Wood)

This Hot Teacher one (Jurnee Smollett) is more faux-vintage, but how can you not love it? And Alexis Bledel reproducing Rosie the Riveter? Brilliant.

If I can find out more about the photographers who took each of these, I’ll edit this post and link back to them. Please let me know if you have any leads.
