Pulp Queens

Royo’s Fighters

2012-02-17T09:35:00.000-08:00

Two fighters by the Spanish artist Luis Royo. The first is a kind of space babe, the second more fantasy style, but doesn’t seem to matter much.

Nude T’Pol

2012-02-13T10:32:00.000-08:00

Sexy nude photo of Jolene Blalock better known as T’Pol in the Series Star Trek: Enterprise.
One of the hottest space babes ever.

Beautiful Diana Rigg

2012-02-11T11:21:00.000-08:00

One of my big, big favorites: Diana Rigg as Emma Peel!

Smoking Hot Lila Tournay

2012-02-08T11:34:00.000-08:00

I really was a great fan of Jaime Murray as Lila Tournay Dexter’s pyromaniac girlfriend.

Deadly Femmes Fatales

Two Dangerous Women by the cover artist Robert A. Maguire.

Rhona Mitra

2012-02-02T09:53:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I’m asked, why I like Rhona mitra. Maybe she’s not the best actress, but I think these photos should be enough.

Bombshell Brigitte Nielsen

2012-01-29T08:36:00.000-08:00

Brigitte Nielsen in the science fiction movie Galaxis aka Terminal Force (1995). That’s the kind of space babe I want to see more on tv.

No Fucky, Sucky For You Asshole

2012-01-26T11:53:00.000-08:00

Bai Ling as hooker Ria in the film “Crank 2: High Voltage” unashamedly frank and sexy as always, especially when she shows her nipples. She’s the best of the whole movie.

Two of these super leggy and super dangerous women by the best of all pulp cover artists: Robert McGinnis.

Priestess of the Whip

2012-01-20T10:51:00.000-08:00

Raquel Welch as Priestess of the Whip in the British comedy film The Magic Christian (1969). She alone makes it worth watching the film.

Retro Cover

2012-01-17T11:15:00.000-08:00

A retro cover with a cool construction worker pin up by the British artist Aly Fell. That’s the kind of colleague everybody would appreciate.

Summer Glau as Cameron

2012-01-14T00:39:00.000-08:00

Maybe it’s because Summer Glau looks mostly a little autustic that she makes such a good Terminator. She like a little sweet version of good old Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Hot Sniper

2012-01-11T09:38:00.000-08:00

Alice Braga as a hot sniper in the film Predators. An appropriate adversary for the predator. She’s probably one of the best upcoming kick ass heroines.

Sexy Ali Larter

2012-01-08T09:26:00.000-08:00

Former model Ali Larter appears more and more in action movies. I like that especially her outfit in Homo Erectus (2007)

Nearly forgotten

2012-01-05T10:20:00.000-08:00

The American actress Julie "Tawny" Kitaen in the 1984 film "The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak" (a.k.a. Gwendoline). Probably this movie is forgotten with good reason, but I think sweet Tawny Kitaen could make it worth a try.

Gorgeous Space Babes

2011-12-29T11:34:00.000-08:00

Two typical science fiction covers of the forties. Good old times: gorgeous space babes with laser beams and not too much clothing.

Prehistoric Playmate

2011-11-20T10:34:00.000-08:00

Playboy Playmate Victoria Vetri as Sanna in 'When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth' (1970).

Nipple Art

2011-11-12T09:39:00.000-08:00

Two dangerous space babes by Earle Bergey, the "king of nipple art". It’s obvious where the really deadly weapons are hidden.
Also interesting the metal bra, another precursor of princess Leia’s slave outfit.

Sybil Danning

2011-11-02T00:46:00.000-07:00

The Austrian B movie queen Sybil Danning in the 1980 Roger Corman production "Battle Beyond the Stars", kind of "The Magnificent Seven" science fiction.

More Assault Girls

2011-10-03T02:16:00.001-07:00

Some more pics of the Japanese movie assault girls. Despite it hasn’t a story at all, it’s really worth watching due to it’s magnificent images and last not least these gorgeous assault girls.

Gorgeous Claudia Black

2011-09-29T00:12:00.000-07:00

Gorgeous Claudia Black already well known by Farscape here as Vala Mal Doran in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. I’m sure that especially the black leather dress will be a great success among cosplayers.

Deadly Body

2011-09-18T10:48:00.000-07:00

A really great retro pulp cover. Without any doubt the combination of body and knife turned out well.

Sweet Jennifer Garner

2011-09-10T11:26:00.000-07:00

Two more pics of Sweet Jennifer Garner as Alias. No great series but a nice heroine. Therefore the second image in kingsize.

Gorgeous Raquel Welch

2011-09-01T11:44:00.000-07:00

Raquel Welch as Hannie Caulder in the 1971 Western film. I couldn’t help but I still love these films.

Angel of a Fighter

2011-08-20T11:12:00.000-07:00

Every Fighter Needs An Angel In His Corner. Great retro cover art by the American illustrator Glen Orbik.

Ice Cold Witch

2011-08-10T00:29:00.000-07:00

Sure that I don’t like stuff like The Chronicles of Narnia, but I have to admit that the pics of Tilda Swinton as the White Witch are really great.

Queen Meave

2011-07-30T10:48:00.000-07:00

The legendary Irish queen Meave painted by the famous American Art Deco artist J. C. Leyendecker. Despite she’s looking pensive the weapons characterize her as a warrior queen.

The Infamous Chainmail Bikini

Funny video about the eternal debate about female armor. Red Sonja’s chainmail bikini in a nutshell!

Cool Meiko Kaji

2011-07-15T00:05:00.000-07:00

The Japanese actress Meiko Kaji, whose films from the 1970s are now real landmarks. She was kind of cool that guys like Quentin Tarantino are still dreaming of.

Seductress Circe

2011-07-04T00:35:00.000-07:00

The renowned Austrian actress Tilla Durieux posing as the legendary seductress Circe offering the Cup to Ulysses by the German Symbolist Painter Franz von Stuck.

Gorgeous Tricia Helfer

Dark Angel

2011-06-15T10:12:00.000-07:00

Dark Angel was an American science fiction television series created by James Cameron. The Dark Angel portrayed by Jessica Alba is a genetically enhanced super-soldier. Maybe because Jessica Alba is like always a sweet good looking girlie, the series wasn’t never really "dark" and was canceled after two seasons.

Tough Michelle Rodriguez

2011-06-05T11:10:00.000-07:00

Michelle Rodriguez in Avatar once more proving that she’s specialized in tough-chick roles.

Batwoman

2011-05-22T10:48:00.000-07:00

Two pre World War I paintings by the French artist Albert-Joseph Pénot (1862-1930). They are also kind of pre Vampirella and all that stuff.
Maybe the first Vampire-Girl ever.

Gorgeous Julie Strain

2011-05-12T09:15:00.000-07:00

The American action actress and model Julie Strain posing on a photo inspiring her close friend the Spanish artist Luis Royo.

Red Sonja the First

2011-05-03T10:22:00.000-07:00

The Danish actress Brigitte Nielsen already a legend as Red Sonja in the 1985 film. Probably there will be better movies about these heroine, but Nielsen looked like a real Nordic Valkyrie.

Classic Goddess

2011-04-24T09:42:00.000-07:00

Already an icon and a classic goddess, the Swiss actress Ursula Andress in the James Bond of 1962.

More Blood Rayne

2011-04-15T00:10:00.000-07:00

Natassia Malthe as Blood Rayne in BloodRayne 2 Deliverance (2007). Probably a really bad, bad movie, but I couldn’t help I like Blood Rayne.

Gorgeous action actress Julie Strain as “the Bitch” by the American artist Julie Bell

Trigger-happy Fi

2011-03-28T09:45:00.000-07:00

Sexy English actress Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona Glenanne in Burn-Notice. The trigger-happy girlfriend of ex-spy Micheal.

Childish Salome

2011-03-16T00:14:00.000-07:00

Salome by the Belgian painter Léon Herbo (1850-1907). That’s a really fascinating mixture of childwoman and femme fatale.

Super Size Heroines

2011-03-09T10:49:00.000-08:00

Two super size heroines by the British fantasy painter Simon Bisley. They got super size arms, boots, tits … and a super size bad temper. I love his dark humor.

New Nikita

2011-02-26T10:17:00.000-08:00

The new version of Nikita with Maggie Q. Much better than hysterical Peta Wilson in the series of 1997.

SM Lara

2011-02-12T09:44:00.000-08:00

Two versions ofLara Croft, the wet dream of all nerds by the Spanish artist Carlos Díez. One as girlie and a gorgeous sm-version.

More Summer Glau

2011-01-29T10:03:00.000-08:00

Some more pictures of gorgeous Summer Glau as Terminator Cameron. There is nothing more to say.

Covergirl: Red Sonja

2011-01-15T00:17:00.000-08:00

Two covers of Red Sonja comics the famous sword heroine and companion of Conan.

Despite all the skulls in the back, this one looks a little childish. It’s by the American comic book artist Greg Land.

I prefer this one by the Italian artist Gabriele Dell’Otto.

Crazy Asian

2011-01-05T08:55:00.000-08:00

Bai Ling in the role of Ria, a call girl and killer in the film Crank 2: High Voltage (2009). Bai Ling is probably my favorite Chinese action star. Crazy, cool and sexy.

Judith: Primordial Mother

2010-12-28T09:16:00.000-08:00

Judith (1926) by the German Art Nouveau painter Franz Stuck. Genuine interpretation of this primordial mother of all the later coming kick ass action girls.

Sixties Covers

2010-12-19T10:49:00.000-08:00

Two gorgeous sixties covers by the great Robert McGinnis, probably America's foremost illustrators in this kind of work. Mysterious, strong and dangerous women.

Adorable Terminator

2010-12-11T03:41:00.001-08:00

Summer Glau as Cameron a Terminator in the science fiction television series “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008).

Sure the series wasn’t the best but Summer Glau made it worth watching. She was so profoundly sad, nevertheless tough and hard as steel.

Men’s Dreams

2010-07-16T08:44:00.000-07:00

Two covers of men’s adventure magazines from around 1960. Seems that gorgeous violent women already then had their special places in men’s dreams.

BloodRayne - Movie

2010-07-06T00:50:00.000-07:00

The video game BloodRayne resulted 2005 in a film starring Kristanna Loken as Rayne and Michelle Rodriguez as a vampire hunter.

The film is quite bad, nevertheless it’s worth mentioning because it’s one of the first video game movie adaptations which will become more and more. Moreover someone may like to see Kristanna Loken or even better stunning Michelle Rodriguez.

Clytemnestra

2010-06-28T09:18:00.000-07:00

This painting probably from 1882 by the British artist John Collier shows Queen Clytemnestra after she had murdered her husband Agamemnon in the bathroom. It is said that she stabbed him but Collier painted her as a butcher who slaughtered the animal which Agamemnon was – he killed Clytemnestra’s first husband and sacrificed her daughter.

Tough Michelle Rodriguez

2010-06-21T00:03:00.000-07:00

It seems that the Michelle Rodriguez after acting in Lost and Avatar has established herself as one of the most popular tough-girls. Congratulations!

Bad Girl Exploitation

2010-06-12T11:41:00.000-07:00

Bad Girl was a great movie directed by Frank Borzage about the daily life in Depression time USA. Nevertheless there is no "bad girl" in the whole film. It was only a cheap trick to sell more tickets.

The Mord-Sith

2010-06-04T00:16:00.000-07:00

Despite the fact that in the childish and pathetic television series Legend of the Seeker there is not much worth mentioning, the Mord-Sith are an interesting exception. The story of that women warriors isn’t that interesting but their design and outfit is great. It’s an extreme cool mixture of SM and steampunk. I don’t wonder about their great success on Youtube!

And in my humble opinion Jessica Marais as Denna is by far the best of all Mord Sith!

Modesty Blaise

2010-05-25T10:17:00.000-07:00

The seductive secret agent Modesty Blaise by my favorite cover illustrator Robert McGinnis.

Seven of Nine

2010-05-18T09:54:00.000-07:00

Seven of Nine the wet dream of innumerable male trekkies. portrayed by the gorgeous Jeri Ryan.
The incarnation of 1950s nipple art!!

Bonnie Parker

2010-05-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

Here the real Bonnie Parker (1910–1934) probably the most famous female gangster who ever lived. And below Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde by Arthur Penn.

Queen of the Night

2010-05-01T09:08:00.000-07:00

A typical Art Deco Fantasy called "Queen of the Night" from the early 1930s.

Cutie Honey

2010-04-22T11:59:00.000-07:00

Cutie Honey is a Japanese manga series which led to various adaptations. Very nice is the 2004 film starring the popular Japanese model Eriko Sato as Honey.

Best of Charlie's Angels

2010-04-15T00:25:00.000-07:00

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) is a really bad movie. Only worth mentioning is Demi Moore as Madison Lee and from the Angels Lucy Liu as Alex Munday

This didn’t save the film, but at least there is a hot Lucy Liu.

Classic Vampirella

2010-04-07T09:37:00.000-07:00

Two covers of Vampirella comics the already classic bad girl heroine.

This one is by the legendary Frank Frazetta and was made for the first number in September 1969. Could therefore be called the first Vampirella of all.

Leia's Metal Bikini

2010-04-01T09:42:00.000-07:00

Leia's Metal Bikini seems still to be the absolute hit on every Star Wars convention. To me Leia always seemed a little mousy, nothing of a warrior princess, but at least her costume as Jabba’s slave in "Return of the Jedi" wasn’t that bad.

What is lesser known is that this was more or less a copy of Teda Bara’s costume as Cleopatra already in 1917!

Siouxsie Sioux

2010-03-25T09:40:00.000-07:00

Siouxsie Sioux was the vocalist of the British punk-rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees formed in 1976. She was already a dark princess of that era and had a great influence on the development of gothic rock.

Alias

2010-03-19T11:27:00.000-07:00

Despite in my opinion it wasn’t a good television series Jennifer Garner wad always sexy as Alias.

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye

2010-03-14T00:02:00.000-08:00

Here another impressive cover by the great James Avati, sometimes called the king of paperback covers.
It was for the novel "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" (1949).

Cherry 2000

2010-03-06T10:19:00.000-08:00

And I liked Melanie Griffith in the 1987 science fiction film Cherry 2000. Maybe it’s more a comedy than that typical post-apocalyptic action trash, but she’s really great.

Assault Girls

2010-02-28T11:56:00.000-08:00

My favourite clip on Youtube is in this days Assault Girls by Mamoru Oshii, famous by his films
Ghost in the Shell, Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops and others.

Maybe that there is not much of a good story, but I’m fascinated by these cool girls in their steampunk outfit.

I love this trailer!

Cleopatra the Beast

2010-02-21T09:42:00.000-08:00

A Cleopatra painting from 1939 by Rolf Armstrong. Cleopatra was probably THE Vamp in history. This painting looks already like pre-fantasy: Cleopatra appears as a seductive exotic nude with her wild beast.

Hottest Ice

2010-02-14T00:10:00.000-08:00

One of the hottest vampire ladies is in my opinion Kate Beckinsale in Underworld. It’s probably not the best vampire movie, but Kate Beckinsale is ultra stylish dressed and put in a perfect cool dark scenery.

BloodRayne

2010-02-08T10:36:00.000-08:00

Two images from action-adventure video game BloodRayne published in 2002 by Majeso. I don’t know the game but I like the images, especially the second which gave Rayne the appearance of an archangel.
The character was so successful that it inspired two movies and a series of comic books.

McGinnis Vamp

2010-01-31T11:49:00.000-08:00

One of the beautiful vamps by the already legendary cover artist Robert McGinnis. He painted the most gorgeous women of the sixties.

Weird Witch

2010-01-26T00:11:00.000-08:00

One of the famous cover illustrations for Weird Tales by Margaret Brundage, depicting a kind of witch, seductive Salome or some other type of evil woman.

Red Sonja Movie

2010-01-22T00:26:00.000-08:00

Two nice posters for the new Red Sonja movie. It will be interesting to compare Rose McGowan as Red Sonja with her predecessor Brigitte Nielsen.

Black Amazon

2010-01-17T09:02:00.000-08:00

That’s a cover illustration by Allen Anderson for the short story "Black Amazon of Mars" by Leigh Brackett first published in the March 1951 issue of Planet Stories. It shows a dramatically tilted red-haired woman in black mail swinging a double-bitted battle-axe.

Bitch Slap

2010-01-13T11:13:00.000-08:00

Bitch Slap' The Motion Picture is a modern throwback to the 'B” Movie/Exploitation films of the 1950's - 70's, mixing hot girls, fast cars, big guns, ...

Maybe cheap, but anyway I like the poster, the trailer is great... and the movie is not bad.

Terminator Fighter

2010-01-08T00:48:00.000-08:00

Without any doubt is Linda Hamilton one of the toughest women in action movies. Unforgettable her role in the film, "Terminator 2 Judgment Day".

Lilith

2010-01-03T09:14:00.000-08:00

Lilith the forbear and pattern for all later Vamps to come by the British painter John Collier. Normally Collier is rated among the Pre-Raphaelites. But his Lilith is from 1892 and already a typical Fin de siècle femme fatale instead one of these childish Pre-Raphaelite heroines.

Leopard Bettie

2009-12-27T11:10:00.000-08:00

And then came Bettie Page…

I’m not sure how much Bettie influenced the style of later bad girl illustration, or how much she only was expressing already existing trends.
But anyway, it’s clear that in bad girl art there is a before and a after Bettie!!

Femme Fatale

2009-12-21T09:57:00.000-08:00

One of the dangerous women by the famous cover artist Robert A. Maguire. This one for the thriller Wild to possess (1962).

Pattern for Gogo Yubari

2009-12-15T09:34:00.000-08:00

Maybe most know Gogo Yubari the Japanese schoolgirl assassin who fights Uma Thurman in Kill Bill with a kind of yoyo. Lesser known is that this is a reference to a Japanese TV show of the 1980s called Sukeban Deka, where a gang of teenagers fights for the police with their yoyos.

Kriemhild

2009-12-10T09:00:00.000-08:00

A post apocalyptic leather-clad chick by the British fantasy artist Chris Achilleos.

Seduction of the Orient

2009-12-01T11:58:00.000-08:00

"Oriental Magic" by the American artist Edward M. Eggleston. Despite it’s a kind of pin-up it’s too much seductive to be a typical one. The exotic dancer is quite well in the femme fatale tradition from Salome to Mata Hari.

Snake Dance

2009-11-26T10:54:00.000-08:00

One of the most erotic dances in films is performed by Salma Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium in Quentin Tarantino’s From Dusk till Dawn (1996). She seems the real incarnation of Eva, Salome or Vampirella – a real Pulp Queen!

Blonde Slave Girls

2009-11-21T07:26:00.000-08:00

Poor victims. Blondes are robbed by slave traders.

Hot Loana

2009-11-18T00:40:00.000-08:00

Raquel Welch as Loana in One Million Years B.C. (1966). She was one of the first hot chicks in furs and had an enormous influence on later productions like Red Sonja, Xena and so on.

The Toughest Marine

2009-11-13T09:56:00.000-08:00

Private Vasquez played by Jenette Goldstein is the toughest of the marines in the film Aliens (1986).
Unforgettable the scene: "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man? Vasquez: No. Have you?"

Warrior Woman

2009-11-09T11:32:00.000-08:00

One of the typical enormous and grim Warrior Woman by the British fantasy painter Simon Bisley.

T.N.T. Jackson

2009-11-05T00:10:00.000-08:00

Jean Bell was not only one of the first of Playboy magazine's African American Playmates of the Month, she also became famous as an action star, especially as T.N.T. Jackson (1975) by the cult director Cirio H. Santiago.
