Description   Sister Benedicte Pin Up Girl is an homage to the Pinup girls of the 50s and 60s whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as pop culture. She is invented from the imagination of French filmmaker and artist, Stephan Saint Emmett, whose passion for women inspired him to create a collection of Pin-Ups (Pinups), whom vary in age but have one thing common -- they are all seated in design chairs. Sister Benedicte here sits in a stately lion claw chair wearing her habit hat, sunglasses, an elegant evening gown and one platform boat. She is looking up at the skies and asking God why she has to wear boots with such high heals. She seems to ask "How much more will she be able to take of all of this?". Although not your traditional nun, she is a heavenly beauty! Who is a Pinup Girl? A pin-up girl or pin-up model is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as pop culture. Intended for informal display, pin-ups are a light genre of pornography. Pin-up girls are often glamour models, fashion models, and actresses. "Pin-up" may also refer to drawings, paintings and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos. The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s. The "pin up" images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of "pin-up girls" were mass-produced. -- This definition uses material from the Wikipedia article "Pin-up girl" and is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License . ABOUT THE ARTIST -- Stephan Saint Emett was born in the Spanish town Santander in 1962. At the age of four he and his parents moved to France, where he studied literature, architecture and art in Paris at the renowned Penninghen/Esag Studios. After he had made a short film, for which he received several awards, he took up the idea to create three-dimensional figurines based on his film characters. At first he made his sculptures from polystyrene but soon afterwards he started working with wood paste and poly resin, which enabled him to work in a more practical way, with more precision and at a quicker pace. And thus, his original Pin-Ups were born!   Features ITEM NUMBER: PU05 ITEM NAME: Sister Benedicte Pin-Up Girl by Stephan Saint Emett SIZE: estimated 7"H x 4"W x 5"D ITEM TYPE: Statue ITEM MATERIAL: Collectible quality, resin with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish.
