Who is a Pinup Girl? A pin-up girl or pin-up model is a model whose
mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as pop culture. Intended for
informal display, pin-ups are a light genre of pornography. Pin-up
girls are often glamour models, fashion models, and actresses. "Pin-up"
may also refer to drawings, paintings and other illustrations done in
emulation of these photos. The term was first attested to in English in
1941; however the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s.
The "pin up" images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be
from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often
appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later,
posters of "pin-up girls" were mass-produced. -- This definition uses

ABOUT THE ARTIST -- Stephan
Saint Emett was born in the Spanish town Santander in 1962. At the age
of four he and his parents moved to France, where he studied
literature, architecture and art in Paris at the renowned
Penninghen/Esag Studios. After he had made a short film, for which he
received several awards, he took up the idea to create
three-dimensional figurines based on his film characters. At first he
made his sculptures from polystyrene but soon afterwards he started
working with wood paste and poly resin, which enabled him to work in a
more practical way, with more precision and at a quicker pace. And
thus, his original Pin-Ups were born!
