PinUp Girls

Devil-80px As the name implies, a vintage pin up girl was a woman whose physical beauty and attractiveness would entice one to place her picture on a wall. The term was first used in English in 1941, however the practice is documented as going back at least to the 1890s.
One of the most popular early pin up girls was Betty Grable, a poster of whom was ubiquitous in the lockers of GIs during World War II.
