I see no cake, so it must be some English expression to say something... cheesy? No I do not even know what that means, never heard this. Just means your title then? Bathing beauties I suppose? Please explain. Thanks in advance for the English lesson. I definitely do not practice enough...

Cheesecake is indeed an American expresssion, Beatrice.  Back around the second World War, there were some famous "pin-up girls" that would pose somewhat seductively and those posters or smaller pics would be hung in the barracks of the soldiers.  The pictures would also be referred to as "cheesecake" photos - cheesecake being a type of sweet cake. 

So, I was making this reference because Maria (the first girl) has her head tilted back and smiling at the camera, in much the same way as the pin-up girls did in the past... Just a silly expression on my part.

Hope that this helps clarify the comment.

It sure does. Thks! Did not know about the WW-pin-up girls being called cheesecake. I believe the first real chasecake I had was my second time in New York in a place I forgot the name of, but that was very well known across the bridge in New York. I read that J.K. Rowling and quite a lot of other authors went there regularly. Sure you must have been there in the 14 or 15 years you lived in New York, what's it called? There's a place on the Place de Brouckère in Brussels (where they have the 4th of July movie days every year) where they have these cakes too, but they tasted better in the real place...
