About Pin Ups
The pin up reached the height of her popularity during WWII, but photos of beautiful, scantily clad women had been around since the late 1800s. Pin-ups usually featured celebrities or attractive models in a variety of still photographs in provocative or playful poses. Betty Grable, a leggy movie star of the 1940s is known for one of the most famous pin up photographs of all time, clad in a swimsuit, peeking over her shoulder with her back to the camera. Other famous pin up models include blonde bombshells like Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and especially Bettie Page with her long black hair and signature bangs whose unique style is still emulated and appreciated by goth girls and conoisseurs of classic beauty. Other pin ups were defined by a distinctive style of photography like that of the famous Vargas, renowned for his ability to bring out the best in his models.
