someone said Naomi reminded them of a pinup girl from the 50s-60s named Hilda! I can definitely see what they mean ^^

That pinup ask actually reminded me about something that I thought would be good to send you; how do you feel about all the different works by Duane Bryers that involve Hilda?
I thought it seemed like a good time to finally bust out some of these asks from when I requested people send in some "normal" erotic imagery. The Hilda pinups were actually something frequently brought up.
I really like Hilda, honestly. There's this cozy, soft feeling to a lot of the art with her. Hilda is a simple woman. She seemingly lives on a farm or somewhere rural, there are a lot of animals around.
There's a specific cultural element the work of Duan Bryers. He spent much of his childhood in Virginia, Minnesota. And while I do usually avoid personal details on this blog, I spent a lot of my summers as a child around the Virginia-area of Minnesota.
There's definitely a classic Americana to Hilda, of course, but there's a specifically Minnesotan feel to a lot of this. The wildlife featured is stuff they have in MN, red long johns and that classic stove are still common in Deer Camps across the state.
Much of the Hilda art either centers on something warm and cozy inside (where she usually wears her red long johns) or her adventures outside where she scarcely wears anything at all, and is often featured by water. I know these are all details that can be general Americana as well, but MN has a strong fixation on their lakes. The summers there are so hot that I knew many girls who would walk around in just swim suits for most of the summer. The winters are so cold that you just can't really make going outside sexy.
Hilda has a simple softness to her too. Every angle of her body is rounded. She's generally goofy and sweet and usually relaxing in some way. We almost never see her doing the work typical of a woman living on a farm.
Now, I don't want to friend-zone Hilda here, but... I don't find her necessarily erotic. Something about this art ends up just feeling sort of homey to me. It reminds me of the type of pinups guys around that rural area would have hanging in their deer camps, and it reminds me a lot of that region. It's less eroticism and more a giddy sort of joy. I don't even really see her scantily clad images as erotic so much as just... y'know, wearing less clothes?
Anyway, for personal reasons, I'm mostly disqualified. But she still gets a 2/10 because Hilda is objectively hot and I just got way too in my head with this review.
