Pin-ups

 Some more research and reference material that seems appropriate to the subject matter of women and The Big Sleep. 'Pin-ups' are either photographs or paintings of female models posing in suggestive positions. The images emit complete sexual appeal, but in ways that can be glamorous or even humorous. Here are some examples:

'Pin-up 1'

'Pin-up 2'

 I am unsure as to what era these images belong, but the second one looks very 50's. Regardless of the era, they emit sex appeal and most of all, the female form. These images are deemed as sexist and examples of objectification of women. I agree with this and understand that the time was different due to the mass patriarchal dominance. This can be still seen today however in magazines and other sorts of media.
