Description:

That the female form has been appropriated for various vessels may offend some, but these objects have accrued a social, monetary, and cultural significance. Whether the watchdogs of gender politics like it or not, visual slang is harder to eradicate than sexist language. If the slang is created in a spirit of defiance, aiming at freshness and novelty, then these objects can be seen as artifacts - witty and colorful evidence of Americana and our irreverent culture. The prudent collector might be advised not to display his girlie ashtrays, iron-leg "nut crackers," pinup playing cards, and rubber breast coasters in public, as it might create a hostile social environment. But why not collect the art and artifacts of the phallocratic, Eurocentric white male for fun and profit? American flea markets are packed with the stuff that's lookist and oh, so slangy and hot, the stuff politically correct feminists loathe. Here are over 500 images of women from America's best markets d'junk and the up-to-date prices of Sexism.
