Where did the term "cheesecake" originate? Find out from a modern master of Cheesecake and Pin-up art, Olivia de Berardinis in her own words.

In the following video, Olivia talks about her art and influences while at the opening of the California Cheesecake 2008 exhibition. Many of her luscious works are displayed in the video as well, making it even more worthwhile to spend a few minutes watching it.

If you have not seen her art before - you are in for a treat!
