Rosie the Riveter
I can has internets?

Is it me or does she have super cottage cheese legs?

Oh Rosie modern recaps. Bigger biceps would be nice for greater historical accuracy, but the addition of eyeliner is a big help.

The answer is Rosie the Riveter, the ad for women to work in factories and on farms to help the war effort during World War 2.

Actually, that’s the “We Can Do It” poster. It didn’t become associated with “Rosie the Riveter” until the 1970′s. The woman in the picture had nothing to do with riveting. And that particular poster only appeared in one factory for two weeks during the war. http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/RosieTheRiveter.html
It’s just weird jpeg artifacts. Unfortunate but that’s why I always save jpegs at 12.

You should really get GIMP, it lets you save jpegs at 13. The 100 internets I stole from ‘Anonymouse’ to whoever gets that reference.

I’ve always had a fictitious-character crush on Rosie the Riveter.
Dr. Duke
I always suspected that Rosie preferred to ‘rivet’ other girls as opposed to dudes.

She wasn’t a fictional character—Rosie the Riveter’s last name was Palm. She was one of six girls in her family. And I’m sure you know them intimately.

Wow.
My name is Cam. And you totally just posted what I was just thinking.

Rosie the Riveter FTW. Although this woman doesn’t quite have the biceps for the role… the pulls off the outfit but not the attitude. The original Rosie looked a lot more serious – a woman who could work all day with heavy equipment, then come home and screw her husband’s brains out.
Tarliman
Good question. In the original WWII poster, Rosie has no jewelry on her left hand, but men working in aircraft assembly plants had to take their wedding rings off for safety reasons, so it stands to reason that women would have to also. Given the original Rosie’s facial expression and general attitude, I figure she’d take whoever she felt like to bed, male, female, or both at once, and if you objected, was quite capable of cleaning your clock.

This is Lucy before she met Ricky.

It’s a french illustatror: Marie Meïer.
Sethro
She was based off a real woman in a factory, they just buffed out her arms for the poster.
Alli
Wow, what is with all the dislikes? Are men really that scared of strong women? Only the weak are attractive?
CannedToo
Oh, come on, people—Rosie Palm and her five sisters,,,,,,
adam
Wow. I’m kinda disappointed that everyone who came here didn’t immediately come back with “Rosie the Riveter!” Historical hawtness fail.
(also, yes: I would have completely done RtR. She looks like she probably would have eaten/fisted more than a few pussies during the war, but would have gone back to men once the A-1s were back in the States–although she would have taken time to lick out the ladies who took her fancy after the war as well. If her husband were lucky, she’d have brought them home with her, and if he were really lucky, those ladies would have come with their husbands as well. Foursomes FTW.)

Somebody stole that girl’s boobs!
Almighty Spock
I bet she beat the shit out of the person who did that graffiti on the wall right before this picture was taken.
I think it’s blatantly obvious so most people didn’t feel obliged to say anything about it?
__ECHO__
kind of reminds me of my EX,….REAL BUTCH,…nto as sexxy but butch none the less
actually she was a lezbien wanna-be
TOMMY
I think the effect is kind of ruined by her lack of biceps and pasty pale skin. You would think a ‘Rosie the Riveter’ type tough-gal would have a farmer tan.
Kamizilla
Thank you for informative posts and cool links <3
lenny
But…she doesn’t appear to be strong at all. She looks to be pretending to be strong, but there’s really no beef behind it. FAIL.

Hard to go wrong with a redhead.
iddypiper
i might be wrong, but im pretty sure she’s a harley quinn cosplayer and dancer from sydney, australia. she has prety good cred in the cosplay community too if that’s her. Elise archer or something.
Dr. Duke
Spinal Tap?
Kitty
I’m pretty sure you’re right.

As someone associated with this photoshoot, it’d be nice if anyone had bothered to find out what the concept was really about before deciding the model wasn’t ‘tough enough’ or didn’t have ‘big enough’ biceps or was ‘too pale’ – yeesh!
FYI – this was one of a series of photos taken of various members of the Femme Guild Australia – an independent association of femme-identified queer women. It was taken as a promotion for their float in the Gay & Lesbian Sydney Mardi Gras. The theme for Mardi Gras was ‘gays throughout history’ so the Femme Guild went for Rosie the Riveter as their ‘icon’ – the idea was for each member to do her OWN spin on Rosie – there were many photos taken of many different women of many different shapes and sizes, all wearing some variation on blue with red & white kerchief. The idea was NOT to accurately copy the poster, but for each woman to present HERSELF, her own version of Rosie. The model is not trying to ‘be’ Rosie, she is being HERSELF whilst paying homage to Rosie. Pale skin, red hair, and lack of biceps and all!
But I guess that concept is too complex for you robotic sheep.
Lighten up. There’s no indication as to the origin or intent of the photo, only the resemblance to the “We Can Do It” Westinghouse poster.
As to criticism of the model’s physical characteristics, get over it. If a photo is posted here, it’s open season. Ten-year-old boys will think she’s fat, dykes will think she’s anorexic, and trolls will say stupid shit to get a reaction. It’s the nature of the beast, I’m afraid.
