Definition
A photograph or poster of an attractive person, usually scantily dressed, designed to be pinned on a wall for decoration.
Etymology
From 'pin' + 'up,' literally something you pin to a wall. Emerged in the 1940s-1950s as soldiers kept glamorous photos in their barracks.
Kelly Says
Pinup culture reached its peak with WWII soldiers—the military tacitly approved pinup posters because morale officers realized that photos of glamorous women helped keep troops' spirits up during long deployments, making them an unexpected part of military logistics.
