Pin-up Art: It’s a Good Thing
Pin-up art can be traced back to the 1920’s. Influenced by pin-up fashion throughout history, today’s pin-up models are dressed in vintage inspired clothes and hair styles, BUT they are usually inked and pierced with attitude.
Agencies like Suicide Girls are bringing pin-up art back with a vengence.

I’ve always been a fan of pin-up art/photography/modeling. From my ramblings, I’m sure that it is abundantly clear that I constantly feel the need to justify my feminism by over-explaining my feelings, particularly dealing with issues that some may consider exploitation of women. I do not find pin-up art the least bit exploitative. There are pin-up models of all ages, shapes, and sizes. When women find their own sexiness without male validation, empowerment has occurred.
