Betty Grable what a beaut!!!!!

Pin-up Girl Betty Grable the star of the World War 11 glamorous world of Hollywood. ‘The 1940’s pin-up appears classic, mainstream, patriotic, innocent and morally clear, the pinup in the classic sense always relates back to the 1940’s’[2]. The World War II had a huge effect on pin-up culture. During the war period men had very little if any contact with women for long periods of time. GI’s pinned sexy pictures of pin-up girls on the walls of their barracks, in footlockers, and in plane cockpits.
