The pin up style has made a
comeback in this last decade. Even if the modern pin up girl is different from
the “vintage pin up” girl this style has regained the popularity it had in the
50s.
Basically the pin up girls were models, actresses and celebrities who were
considered sex symbols and took pictures that had a great appeal and were mass
produced becoming part of the popular culture. These pictures could be cut out
of magazines, postcards, calendars, posters and could be PINned UP
(hence the name) on the walls.
Other pin-ups were artwork, often
depicting idealized versions of what some thought a particularly beautiful or
attractive woman should look like – kind of an ideal women of each decade.
Surely the pin up girls is not
what she used to be but she still has her charms even if she changed her look
and lifestyle: she may now have some tattoos, heavier make-up, maybe a
motorcycle, who knows, she can actually be a burlesque dancer.:))).
Speaking of, you may wonder why
has this style emerged as a trend in the recent years? Oh well, everything in
this world has something to do with the all mighty www so it’s no wonder one of
the factors was the popularity of Suicide
Girls, an erotica website that features tattooed and pierced
"alternative" models sometimes styled in 1950s-inspired pin-up looks.
Then Bettie Page, one of the most
notorious pin-ups, was suddenly hot again mostly due to the biographical movie The Notorious Bettie Page from
2005. At the same time Dita Von Teese and burlesque were l’attraction du
jour so you can see know how many little factors can snow ball at the same time and revive or even create a new trend. That's also how an old trend can become relevant again.

For me, pin up means femininity.Waistline, curves, boobs, all that roundness a woman should have to be called a woman, not so often seen nowadays.Now it's all about insect legs and boyish frames, not so atractive if you ask me(although kate moss rullz big time, i find her guilty for this:P).
So yeah, i love pin up and hope to see this kind of girls more often.
Also, thank you for the info, it's good to know:D
