Pin-up Girl

A pin-up girl is, in general, an erotic depiction of a female person. These representations are usually found in relevant periodicals or magazines in the middle of these publications (centerfold), so that they can be removed from the magazine and pinned to a wall.

Many of these pin-up girls were, and still are, prominent sex symbols. Marilyn Monroe is probably one of the most popular girls to date. Playboy magazine is probably the most well-known representative of these print products. The Playmate of the Year is a coveted award and has helped quite a few, previously relatively unknown girls to achieve a certain degree of prominence.
