A pin-up girl is a woman whose physical attractiveness would entice one to place a picture of her on a wall.

The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s. 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.


I found some really cool books with classic pin-ups in them, a bit of decoupage, two old tables and arranged those scantily clad ladies onto the table tops
