Pin up girls are associated with the 1940’s and 1950’s. They were popular with soldiers and GI’s returning from military service. Images of these sultry young ladies were placed everywhere including being painted on planes by soldiers. Pin Up Girls were said to raise enthusiasm and morale for the war. While not the first pin up girl, Marilyn Monroe may well be the most famous pin up girl in history. Marilyn got her start as a pin up girl in the 40’s and was immortalized by soldiers returning home from WWII. Betty Boop is the most famous fictional pinup girl; she’s made quite a name for herself! This leggy brunette with a tight red dress captured the imaginations and hearts of American men both overseas and back at home.
There are so many ways to put together a Pin up girl costume; just flip through the pages of a vintage calendar to get some ideas. Go for the famous pin up girl look like Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, or Betty Grable. You just have your own beautiful look and try to embody that 1940’s look and style with a tight sweater and short shorts. Or, wear high heels, silk stocking and a visible garter. Pin Up girls help coin the term “cheesecake”, as the male admirers gushed that gazing at their pictures was better that eating cheesecake.
