wow those are umm something.
looking at the actual site most are pretty bog standard cheesecake/pretty girl props which is problematic but most are fully clothed and just presenting/posing, then are just some cringeworthy ones.

Rule 34 before its time.
I sense a broad …err… theme in the examples provided in the Boingboing article. I’m not sure if they reflect the photographer’s preferences, the publisher’s, the readers’ or @frauenfelder’s. Or perhaps all of the above!
The last one posted here is kind of cool. Sort of retro-future-uber-gothy.

That is probably my fav with a close tie going to the posed on a motorcycle with a pocket computer of the day.
I should also say that there is at least one obviously older model posing as well.
The December 1987 pic though… that one is probably the most oh god no/amusing one.
edit : April 1988

I like to think that the dress is made up of some high quality magnetic tape. It’s clearly not, but it adds so much more to the 80’s techno-apocalypse look.
Can we talk about her too?
So enthralled at the prospect of using Design Studio that she’s resorted to drawing on pen and paper.
Not that I blame her, seeing as she doesn’t have a mouse.

I quite like the ones where the computer parts have obviously been cheaply copy/pasted (was photoshop-like software around this early?) into another photo 
Just look at this one, so utterly terrible it becomes a near work of art

Ah! I didn’t even think to look at that! Thanks. I do wonder if anyone has a set of computer magazines from East Germany, though?

You mean no. 33? Actually, I thought it could be a photo shoot for a 4AD band from the 1980s!
