Vintage Pin Up Girls











Some of you might know that I am in love with vintage pin up girls...especially those by Gil Elvgren. I have an application that does fairly well on Facebook called "Pin Up Girls," and as I was working on it this morning, I thought I would share some of my favorites with you!

Disneyland yesterday. So much fun, got on Thunder Mountain twice! Hope you are having a great weekend friends!

I love pin up girls, too! And, I just ordered Gil's book, "All His Glamorous American Pin-Ups". I display them on my blog and have used some of your favorites that you feature in this post. I will have to check out your FB application. Have a whimsical weekend, my dear!

I wonder if those girls were modeled after real women? Otherwise, the artist sure has quite the imagination .

Great stuff, Blondie! Those folks who drew those were killer artists! And obviously a topic which I could not grow tired of!
Thanks for sharing!

I love pinup girls! The first one I really got into was Vargas, so I'm partial to his work but Elvgren is so fun.

And Thunder Mountain is my favorite roller coaster ever! I'm a total Disney girl.

I love pin-up girls too! The gal with the suitcase has always been one of my favorites!
Gee, I can only imagine how nice it must be to be able to pop over to Disneyland for the day, or do those Hollywood tours. Sounds like there is always something exciting to do, you lucky girl!

That's a good question were they modeled after real girls or was he just talented at making the girls we wanted to see.

Great art. Vargas is my favorite; curious that so many women love pin up art, isn't it? I don't know if it's envy or appreciation of beautiful form and art, or maybe a combination of the two.
Umm...that first one, of the teacher...that's not you, is it?

I LOVE this post! I love pin up girls. I miss Disneyland. My mom was Cinderella back in the 60's. Hope you had a fantastic time!!!

Hi Kori,
I have sold a lot of the original mutoscope cards done by Elvgren, Vaughn and DeVorss. Some of them are pretty valuable. That is my little side business, selling vintage, paper collectibles.I should look and see if I still have the jpegs, since I have sold them. Love your blog!
