Pin-Up Perfection!

Pin-up girls or Pin-up Models, made their debut as early as the 1890's, although I'm sure back then it was seen as a very 'Trampish' career choice.

One of the most popular early pin-up girls was Betty Grable, whose poster was ubiquitous in the lockers of G.I.s during World War II.

Betty Grable's world-wide famous 1943 pin-up photo,
that showed off those "million dollar legs."

Today it's used in media all the time from Illustrations to Photos.
Here are some of my favourites...
