Author(s) and Guest(s)
Bunny Yeager
The only female pin-up photographer of her day, Bunny Yeager was also a model in her own right. After winning several beauty pageants in Miami, Yeager went to photography school, and in 1955, she hit the jackpot with her shot of Bettie Page scantily clad in a Santa hat which sold instantly to the fledgling Playboy magazine. Bunny Yeager’s Darkroom (Rizolli International Publications, $60.00), authored by Petra Mason, gathers more than 250 lens-fogging photographs embodying the naughty girl-next-door eroticism of pin-up culture. Petra Mason is a cultural historian and creative director whose East Coast-centric book credits include: Last Train to Paradise: Centennial edition, South Beach Stories, The Carlyle, In the Spirit of Miami Beach, and New York.
