We Pulled Some Christmas Babes Down From Your Dad’s Attic

With Christmas upon us in just a few days, we figured we’d refrain from going nuts with telling you how to do your Christmas shopping and overloading you with suggestions for last minute gifts. One of our editors just recently received a press release entitled “Gifts For Men With Medical Issues.” What the… Really?

Christmas isn’t about shopping. It’s about tradition. And right now, we’re taking a peek at Christmas past and adjusting the angle to chest-height. For instance, what were gentlemen fifty, sixty, and even seventy years ago taking a peek at on this snowy holiday? Try not to be distracted by the truly awful and awkward props…

Vera Ellen: bugle or candlestick?

Joan Crawford. Pissed because she only got one giant doll to drag down into the fire.

Diane Dearborn in 1951 doing Christmas doublefisted.

An unknown pinup shows us what to do when only one snowshoe is left. Thanks, broad!

Bettie Page with some shit she probably didn't make herself. No one's looking at it anyway.

Janet Leigh pre-Christmas and post-dog show.

Marilyn Monroe strictly points to where the extra garland goes.

Sharon Tate ready to stuff a terrier up a tree.

Julie Adams arrives for a white Christmas fresh from the Black Lagoon. If you're not a true film nerd, you're going to need to Google this dame.

Ann Margaret. 'Nough said.
