Robert George Harris

Art Appreciation

Born on September 9, 1911, Robert George Harris was known for his illustrations of pulp and Western stories. He also worked for women magazines, such as Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and Redbook. During World War II he volunteered and joined the USO Artist For Freedom Project where he drew thousands of portrait sketches of wounded servicemen. After the war, he worked in advertising on major accounts, such as Coca-Cola.

Riley Reyes

Acting Appreciation

I don't recall when I first became a fan of the stunning Riley Reyes (aka Riley Reynolds). I'm sure it was a video I stumbled upon one late night, but the 5'5" beauty absolutely caught my attention.

Born on April 13, 1991, Riley is not only an adult entertainer, but also an actress and writer.

In 2016, at the age of 25, Riley was diagnosed with a huge ovarian cyst that resulted in surgery. Fans poured in from everywhere to help Riley cover the cost of her operation by raising over $4,000.

Although Riley does entertain many of us pornos, she is continuing her education. In Summer 2021, she finished her first year of graduate school.

Zoë Mozert

Art Appreciation

In the early 20th century, one wouldn't think a pinup illustrator being a woman. However, unlike other pinup illustrators of the day, Zoë Mozert became a well-known and respected illustrator whose pinups depicted "real" women.

Born on April 27, 1907, Zoë Mozert was her own model in many of her early works. During her time, she painted hundreds of magazine covers, movie posters, calendars, and publicity posters.
