Our image of beauty is changing again. Thin, blond and spray-tanned? Move aside! The buxom babe is here. Inspired by old issues of Playboy circa 1950, and photographs of Bettie Page, Bridgette Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, pin-up girl style is on the rise. No longer the cliche art for tattoos, the pin-up craze fills our sartorial needs, and our love for all things nostalgic. Shows like Mad Men, tumblrs like Vintage Sleaze, and online fashion stores like Bettie Paige Clothing have women everywhere are embracing the cheesecake image.
