The cumulative lifework of [Gil Elvgren](http://www.btinternet.com/~brmerc/elvgren/elvgren.html) . I think he more or less invented the convention of impossibly beautiful women in public “accidentally” snagging their clothes in a nail or a tree branch to reveal fabulous lingerie and whatnot. All very tongue-in-cheek, but he remains my favorite. ---

Google turns up the image but the source website is apparently gone, so I hope this works. [Jon-Erik Hexum](http://images.google.com/images?q=jon-eric+hexum&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images), the third image down in column one. I can’t believe it’s not online anywhere else under the correct spelling. Something about that photo is just incredible. I wish he hadn’t blown his brains in. ---
