Really enjoyed Annie Kevan’s All The Presidents Girls, a collection of watercolors of the mistresses of US presidents.  When you’re done with that, click on “Paintings” and then “Boys”.

    If you are a fan of silent movies, and stars like Jobyna Ralston, Louise Brooks, etc., the Annie Kevans’ ‘Vamps and Innocents’ collection off that site is also worth checking out (thanks for the link.)

    By the way, the idaft machine link should come with a warning: do not play in front of or show children four and under, who then will repeat it, non-stop. (Possibly, some people over four may also get caught up in it. Just possibly.)
