The Most Beautiful Pin-Up Girls of the '50s
A majority of the best pin-up girls came out of the '50s. These pin-ups were printed in magazines, newspapers, post cards, lithographs, and some girls even got their own posters. The style, usually a beautiful woman on her back or bent over with a coy look on her face, beckoning at the viewer, became so popular, artists began to do their own renderings - and pin-up artists were born. The pretty pin-up girls of the '50s still inspire pin-up artists of today. But which one of these gorgeous ladies is the most beautiful pin-up girl from the 1950s?
