One of the first things that struck me about the Metart erotic photo gallery titled “Riuni” was a certain, pervasive “pin-up” flavor. It’s not unusual for a series to contain a couple of pin-ups, usually due to the model’s pose. But here it goes far beyond a couple of images, and well beyond this (talented) model’s choice of poses.
Stunning Swede Lija, busty, blonde, and blue-eyed, makes a fine subject for the slightly retro pin-up style, and other elements of the art direction go a long way in emphasizing and amplifying it. Foremost is the dramatic “Bubble” chair, a clear acrylic sphere suspended by a chain from the ceiling. This alone gives the series a strong taste of the swinging sixties. And Lija’s outfit — a black satin nightie trimmed in white lace and featuring sheer black panels — adds notes of “naughty French maid” and “old school” sexy style.
The rest of Arkisi‘s set, white floor and upholstered walls, only add to the stylized and stylish feel of the session. With all these elements in place artist and model go to work, and “Riuni” proceeds to deliver one delightful, delicious, pleasingly pin-up image after another. In #10, naked from mid-torso down, Lija stands on tiptoe, in profile, and projects pure, stylish perfection. Even more explicit images, like #020, a tantalizing rear view of the model bent over and supporting herself on the cushions of the chair, offers plenty of pin-up flavor.
Lija’s modeling skill and her bright, lively, and engaging personality are in perfect proportion to her physical beauty. Lija is stunning, but she’s no idealized mannequin — there’s a vivacious, energetic, flesh-and-blood woman posing for these stylized photos, and she appears to be loving every minute of it. From achingly explicit extreme close-ups of her moist and magnificent pink bits, to portraits of her profoundly pretty breasts, to dazzling headshots — #082 and #108 are just two of my personal favorites — this bosomy beauty never ceases to beguile, tempt, and tantalize. Thanks to the efforts of a beautiful model and a talented artist, “Riuni” easily earns my very highest recommendation.
