Amazin', amazin', amazin'. Seems like every woman from age 15 to 65 in the entire western world has gotten Pin up pics of herself. Totally cool. They're ALL hot!
This is the kind of thing that drives the ayatollahs crazy!

At our "barracks" at Camp Roberts, we printed up a bunch of pictures of some notable Hollywood movie stars. And taped them up on a lot of guy's lockers, on the wall, behind my company clerk's desk set-up; and some in the bathroom. It gives the place a little backhome in the states feel.

Here is a tour. First there are three basical styles for discussion.
1. Basic Hollywood Movier star Glamor Shots
2. Hollywood Movie Stars in bathing suits
3. Pin-up Drawings - While some are done during the war, many of the notable ones came after the war.


Basic Hollywood Movie Star Glamor Shots
The best place to start is this site. Not only does it have a lot of pictures on the site itself, but also their links at the bottom of the page that takes you to a lot of other great sites as well. This page also provides links "by individual star". Also Yank Magazine Covers with Movie Stars

This next site is great, because it allows you to thumb through a ton of pictures in one sitting with not so much clicking. Also the top border will show you examples of Pin-Up Drawings, even though the site is Hollywood Movie Star glamor shots

Another nice site

Pin-Up Art
http://www.skylighters.org/pinupart/index.html

As mentioned above Pin-Up art comes more prevalent after the war. So it isn't too easy to find artwork dated during the war, as it is after
One notable artist is Gil Elvgren and Aberto Vargas

Note: through out these sites, some pictures are very large, which when reduced will become very high resolution pictures when printed. Others look normal size on the screen, but won't print out that well. And some are still very small, and only look good for viewing through the internet.
