Vaingirls Comics back at The Forum

WOW...!
What a selection of covers. I have to admit it was hard for me to find a few favourites as they are all great.
But I thought long and hard and...

Literary Ladies (1861) stuck out. It's seems Huck is happy with his 'new look'.

Keep up the great work...!

I have to go with 1869 - Secretarial Snooping, I think.

Here's 1881-1885!

1881 - Getting A Life

Original: Diary Loves comics, #4

I had finished reading a romance novel and was looking for another when I started thinking about what name I would use if I wrote one. Lacey Cotillion just popped into my head.

1882 - Risky Entry

Original: Three separate individual Batman comics stories panels from three different sites. No info was given on any issue numbers or story names.

Why do you think they call it The Ladies Room?!

1883 - Body Swap Backfire

Original: Paperback book cover, "Arrest The Saint" by Leslie Charteris, Avon Books #708

My 68 years of experience says my title is accurate.

1884 - Making The best Of It

Original: Bad Girls Go To Hell comics, #3

They never had comics with titles like "Bad Girls Go To Hell" when I was a kid. Of course then they were written in cuneiform and chiseled into clay tablets.

1885 - Long War Woes

Original: Painting, "La Toilette" by Raimundo Madrazo

I know the fashions are Victorian, not Regency, but I needed a long war to make this one work.

Here's 1886-1890!

1886- Maidenly Melodramatic

Original: A painting of the Grand Duchesses Olga and Maria Nikolavena, Daughters of Czar Nicholas II of Russia, in the fashions of 1838. No painter info was given.

A conspiracy is afoot to keep him in skirts, but do the conspirators really want a prima donna drama queen?

1887 - Jealousy Makes The Gurl

Original: Painting, "Confidences" by Charles Joseph Frederick Soulacroix

Hoisted on his own petard, she's only himself to blame.
:-)

1888 - H2O, Enriched

Original: Cartoon Humor magazine, summer, 1948

Elrod's Bikini Beach, along with the fact that I lived through the Fouride in the Water Communist plot craziness of the 1950s inspired this one.

1889 - Say Yes To The Dress

Original: Love Romances comics, #55

What transvestite worth his and her salt would pass up a bridal opportunity?

1890 - Busybody Busted

Original: Girls' Love Stories comics, #78

This one is actually a slight tweaking of one of my early Tales of the Avis Gurls' Club comics covers. I discontinued them after thirty some issues as it was clear no one was interested. I recently came upon the original and decided I would recycle it and some of the other TOTAGC originals for VGC covers.

Busybody Busted

Commie Plots... LOL! I like the Victorian and Regency covers too.

On a technical note, I think the base image of 1886 Maidenly Melodramatic AKA Drama Queen might have been better flipped horizontally so that the reading order of the characters' speech balloons would be more natural. See Femur's comments on one of my covers here.

Here's 1891-1895!

1891 - No Input

Original: Wilbur comics, #30

Obviously Don is the better looking one in skirts but does that mean he automatically should stay in them? Apparently the two moms and Ralph think so, so they're conspiring to give him no choice in the matter. The deck is stacked three to one against him, will he stand up to them or will Donna curtsey to them? Only time - and perhaps another issue - will tell!

1892 - Boxing Day

Original: Dime Mystery Magazine, November, 1933

Shuffling off the male coil - hope you're not bard to tears by this one.

1893 - Sleeper

Original: Paperback book cover, "Before It's Too Late ..." by Stuart Palmer, Dell Books #601

XxH20 (Girlwater) in 2013! If you're old like me and a Yank you'll get this.

1894 - Test Subject

Original: Our Love Story comics, #6

Love conquers all!

1895 - Bitching Hour

Original Girls' Love Stories comics, #50

Actually he was a bastard, but she's really avery nice girl.

'Sleeper' is a keeper!

I love "Test Subject" - neat idea and I like the "experimental" cover look.

Here's 1896-1900! I will post 1881-1900 to the site when it's back up.

1896 - Submissive Wiles

Original: Another from Lorna, LT361. I'll come back and leave a link when the sites up and running again. Thanks, Sis

CEO Pete, picked by lottery to be Pookie the lowliest of lowly office girls for six months, made two key decisions before his transformation: Pookie was going to be a happy girl so, two, she would not fight Alfreda Lord, lesbian Queen Bee of the office. There were other ways to deal with an alpha, she knew, because they'd been used by previous "Pookies" on Pete.

1897 - Down Memory Lane (1261 - Aquafemmed, SCII; 342 - Frankie Ford, SC I)

Original: Photo of Rita Hayworth on a USO tour, I think.

Another Frankie Ford "Sea Cruise" tribute. I'm also running SC II and SC I. I've always liked his version of "Sea Cruise", and it converts so nicely to A TG parody, "She Cruise".

Here's my parody lyrics:
SHE CRUISE ... parody by Jezzi Belle Stewart

Feminization is what I do.
No use a waitin' for HIM to approve!
He's my "guest"; I've got nothin' to lose.
Sure I'm gonna take him on a She Cruise!
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Sure I'm gonna take you on a She Cruise!
Feel like dressin'? Baby better just agree.
Better yet be beggin', beggin' on bended knee.
Gotta get you shaped up, get a bra on your rack; give you all those girly curves you still lack.
You're my "guest"; you don't need to approve.
But I know you're gonna love it on a She Cruise!
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Sure I'm gonna take you on a she cruise!
Gotta get to movin', baby, time is flyin'
Look at all the pretty clothes you'll be tryin'
Be my gurl; you've got nothin' to lose.
I know you're gonna love it on a She Cruise!
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Sure I'm gonna take you on a she cruise!
Feel like dressin'? Baby glad you now agree.
I didn't like forcin', But had to just make you see!.
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Ya know we're gonna love it on a She Cruise!

1898 - And The Verdict Is ...

Original: (Dress) Designs By Harry Collins advertisement in the July 1920 issue of Ladies' Home Journal magazine

Boy, girl, or ... ???

1899 - The Price Of Altruism

Original: First Love comics, #2

I should probably have indicated on the cover that any decision had to be agreed upon by both.

1900 - Theatre Of The Unusual

Original: Young Love comics, #20

Yep, the photo is of really implausib ... er, I mean improbab ... no, that's not it, either, oh, yeah, incredibly gorgeous me again, in the VG tradition of hundredth issues.

ONWARD TO 2000!

Submissive Wiles	Down Memory Lane SC III	Aquafemmed SC II	Frankie Ford SC I
And The Verdict Is ...	The Price Of Altruism	Theatre Of The Unusual

Another great set of covers Jezzi.
It's hard for me to pick a favourite.

I have to go with Theatre Of The Unusual.

ONWARD TO 2000! Here's 1901-1905

1901 - Mile High Makeovers

Original: Girls' Love Stories comics, #83

Vaingirls has an exclusive contract with TG Airlines to do the makeovers

1902 - Wave Saved

Original: Leave It To Binky comics, #61

The phrase, "God protects fools, drunkards, and the United States of America" was coined by a newspaper correspondent during the Spanish-American war in which our army/cavalry did just about everything wrong ... but won.

1903 - Tennis Tryout

Original: Sewing pattern envelope, McCall's #4466

I can't think of many girlier things than a lace trimmed tennis outfit with matching racket cover!

The Making Lemonade revenge: Live a good, happy life.

1905 - Desert-ed Manhood

Original: All-Story Love Stories magazine, Feb. 24, 1934

And here's 1906-1910!

1906 - Being Alpha

I love this photo! If anyone knows the movie or who one or both of the actresses are (probably were) please let me know.

1907 - Triple Play

Original: Boy Loves Girl comics, #38

Blue suit could either be a boy or girl tranny endrab.

1908 - Book Learning

Original: Another from Lorna, LT-580

"Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!"

1909 - Delinquent Desires

Original: No info given. I'm guessing a paperback book cover.

When one is boldly going where one has not gone before, it's nice to have a friend with you who's not just along for the ride.

1910 - Seashore Change

Original: Marvila comics (La Mujer Marvilla) #218

Full fathom five thy manhood lies

Being Alpha	Triple Play	Book Learning	Delinquent Desires
Seashore Change

1909 looks like a particularly fun story.

#1907 is a fun one, lots of fun twists is all directions.
