Behind the playful veneer, pin-ups have told
the story of how war, markets, and sexuality shape society and norms. They are
as much a part of Americana as Apple Pie. The sexy & sultry pin-ups cause us
to think of the time surrounding World War Two. Their pictures would run in pages
of Life Magazine as well as many other inspiring countless imitators. This
led to the likes of Playboy Magazine and later Maxim and FHM Magazines. For the first
time men had an easy source of feminine fantasy entertainment at their
fingertips. With the advent of the internet some twenty plus years ago, now
pinups are everywhere. Here I’ve gathered a few for your pleasure. I hope you
enjoy them …
Thanks!
