here is mine...minimal damage on the cuffs and a few pulls and tears around but I don't think it was worn much if at all. might even have been a DOA.
I wanted one for a long time and now that I do I'm ho-hum about it. difficult to display. its big. size 42 so it would fit me if I dared lol!

its a neat item to have in the collection but not as exciting or as much fun to own as I thought it would be. perhaps one day I'll get a full size mannequin for it but with all the torso and heads I already have its starting to get weird. if I ever do bring home a date she might walk right back out the door after entering...

Only if you ask her to put it on!!

Where you you come up with this stuff!!

big pinup girl fan... well, big fan of girls... and pinup... and George Petty.... interestingly enough after Hugh Hefner decided his magazine STAG Party with a cartoon deer as the mascot wasn't going to fly off the shelves like he dreamed about ("Stag" was used by men's adventure magazine that warned him they would protect their trademark) he decided the Playboy Bunny was a better character and he was inspired by that very pinup by George Petty. He ended up buying the original painting and its hanging on the walls of the mansion.
