A
pin-up girl or boy, also known as a
pin-up model, is a
model whose
mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as
popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display. Pin-up girls may be
glamor models, fashion models, and actresses.
The pin-up images could be cut out of
magazines or
newspapers, or be from
postcard or
chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later,
posters of pin-up girls were mass-produced. They became an instant hit.
Many pin-ups were
photographs of
celebrities who were considered
sex symbols. One of the most popular early pin-up girls was
Betty Grable.
