The whore as Varga pin-up girl........

Varga in Drag
bySusie Bright

Once upon a time there was a pin-up girl, a whore with a heart of gold who also realized she could line her pockets with a little well-placed advertising. She was an exhibitionist, proud of her assets -- or in another view, she was under pressure to exploit her physical charms, regardless of pride or joy. She wanted to be an actress, a showgirl; maybe even a star. In real life, she might never have made it past dime-a-dance.

But something happened to the pin-up girl -- she got religion, which in the case of the American W.W.II effort, was nothing but riotously devout patriotism. Whatever a soldier wanted or needed to fight the Nazis became sacrament. If he wanted pictures of beautiful babes to masturbate and pray to, by God, who wouldn’t support democracy?
