Pin-up girls are models with widely distributed, mass produced photo spreads, usually on both sides of the page, that soldiers, teenagers, and many others would display by "pinning" them up on the wall. The term was coined in 1941 and became very popular throughout the 40s and beyond. These pin-up girls were beautiful and sexy, and this list has the hottest of the 1940s pin-up girls, with pictures.
These pin-ups were printed in magazines, newspapers, post cards, lithographs, and some girls even got their own posters.

The beautiful pin-up girls of the 40s still inspire pin-up artists of today.
