Pinups From Government Archives: In the USDA

Welcome to Steampunk Betties!

This is only a small gallery from our first model. We promise a longer, saucier set later this month.

As we said a few weeks back, our rollout is going to be a bit slower than we planned, so, for right now, you’re looking at about a thing a week from us over here. It’s a great time to subscribe via RSS!

September’s model is Rachel Lapidus. She’s been a fabulous friend for letting us dress her up! Thanks, Rachel!

This background is based on a public domain photograph by Howard Hollem taken for the United States Office of War Information in the 1940′s. We’ll spend some time focusing on him this month too.
