Bara. Dorothy Lamour. Betty Grable. Jean Harlow. Vivien Leigh. Greta Garbo.
Elizabeth Taylor. Jayne Mansfield, magnificent Marilyn Monroe and many others,
all were from the different eras, from 1910 until the 1960's. They were very
gorgeous, appealing or we can say that complete symbolism of “ultimate women”. These
Pin Up girls were posters which symbolized every men’s dream of the perfect
woman. Pin ups girls became famous everywhere and graced the lockers of high
school guy, calendars and even in the Bunk rooms of American soldiers during
World War II. The main motive of the Pin up
during World War II was to keep soldier's ‘morale’ up and to divert them from
the risk of death. With the time, they were becoming more & more
popular around the world. During this time, every Hollywood female actress had ambition
of becoming a popular pin-up art subject; this was part of their formula to
successful movie careers. In this era of
internet, you can discover classic pin-ups on the internet which are the evoke
memories of days long gone.
Pin-Up has created a remarkable
symbol in the history that furthers a world-shattering change which all women
are now enjoying. With such an amazing change, now we are privileged to dress
in dresses we are most comfortable with. Pin Up is now become the bold feminist
act of reducing the norm of women’s boundaries in a patriarchal world.
