In 2005, Deirdre 'Little Darling' Franklin founded the non-profit organisation Pinups for Pitbulls because she was tired of so-called rescues and shelters euthanising healthy, friendly and adoptable animals due to their alleged 'breed'. She created a calendar showcasing beautiful pinup girls and their beloved pitbulls, starting a revolution in the world of animal advocacy. The gallery features some great characters like Bodacious with his US flag necktie, Mojo found wandering the streets of the Bronx, poor beaten-up Joey who learned to love in his adopted family and loves tennis balls. Now, they have assembled the best of their calendars and many never-before-seen photographs into a lush full-colour volume. The girl owners clearly love to dress up in cowgirl costumes, fringed dresses, high stilettos, swimsuits, leather biker gear, teeny shorts and kimono dresses, some with tattoos, and all with that 50s pin up Vargas-girl vibe. And the doggies are often accessorized too of course to make the photo a winner. Featuring tips for new rescue owners. Colour photos, 19.61 x 24.13cm, 188 pages.
