The term pin-up refers to an image, mainly of a woman, who, with a sensual, suggestive posture, or looking or smiling in a mischievous way, captures the attention of the viewer. This term appeared a long time ago and, although it may seem like a nickname for those people who used to be portrayed or illustrated in this way, the truth is that they were used regularly in magazines, calendars, posters, etc. In Spain, this could be translated as magazine girl, calendar girl ...

But what does it mean to be a pin-up girl? Well, you should know that pin means pin; while up is up. Two English words whose union comes to form the expression hanging on the wall. For this reason, all the photographs, calendars, postcards, illustrations… that were hung on the wall, and also had a suggestive, provocative posture… they were considered pin-up.
