This annotated photo exhibition gives you a revealing walk-thru of cultures thru how they regard their flags as exhibited as everyday artifacts, in particular as a piece of swim-wear, and in particular the Anglo-Saxons. (Note to conservative readers: This site contains many photos of naked human body.)

Before i started this project, i'm well aware that there are a lot photos of models wearing USA flag swimsuits, and it always projected a free-spirit image to me. What i did not know is the degree of this infatuation. Since i started this photo collection project, i found out, there are in fact a sub-genre of pornography of pussies adjacent to the Red-White-Blue theme. I've collected over a hundred of such photo sets from the web. The following is but a short sample.
Elitist porn: Star-Spangled Playmates and Flag Photogenic Girls.
Flag adorned stark pussies: Penthouse flag porn, Hustler flag porn, Star-spangled Good-girl Porn, All-American US Flag Porn, pn4, Star-spangled Asian American Porn, Mixed-race US Flag Porn, pn6, pn8, Star-spangled Orgy, Star-spangled Granny Porn, Cuban Flag Porn.
USA flag decorated women's apparels include swim-wear, panties, shoes (flip-flops, heels, sandals, boots,...), purses, sweaters, dresses, gowns, skirts, hot pants, leather jackets, ear rings, hair pins, brooch... and there are even toe-nails so painted. You can often find them in photos of women's magazines, mail-order magazines, and stores, especially around summer because of July 4th. Often, you'll also find Union-Jack decorated ones.
They are on TV, in newspapers, in movies, in magazines, in comic books, and on your internet screen banner ads.
US Federal Government, State Governments, and big corporations, don't hesitate to use the Red-White-Blue theme, because Americans love it.
Here, you'll find the love of the stars'n'stripes as exhibited by your neighborhood Joe and Jane.
Look around. There are star-spangled things all around you.
Flag adorned fashion and pop is predominantly a culture of UK and USA. Then, some Western states. Though, they almost don't exist for Asian countries. For most Asian nations, wearing flags is usually a crime and can arose angry mobs.
