The drawings depicted an "idealized" American girl who was every mans fantasy, praised for her beauty and elegance.But During World War II, the girls started dressing more provocatively, often in military garb, and posing more seductively. Between the magazines, the calendars, and the postcards, many of the images inspired nose art for B-17 bombers overseas, serving as both protective talismans and as a distraction to enemy pilots. The girls were seen as morale-boosting patriotic icons. On the home front, the women and their images portrayed a healthy respect for female beauty and a love for ones sexuality-cultural signifiers that are as relevant today as they were then.Though pin-ups are more of a subculture today, there has been a modern pin-up resurgence.
