Is there any evidence that this is correct? The user who created this page tried to vandalise the David Kelly page so I'm not I trust their bona fides. FearÉIREANN 04:46 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- It certainly isn't the modern def - seems plausible enough... --mav
Not really related to the content of the article, but I must say the world "pulchritude" is used more on Wikipedia than anywhere else I've seen. I think I've seen it in three articles now. --Delirium 06:07 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] 'Tori Spelling'.....pin-up?
"A 'pin-up girl' is a woman whose physical attractiveness would entice one to place a picture of her on a wall." This is the definition given at the beginning of the "Pin-up girl" article. However, under the category of 'Famous Pin-Up Girls of 1990s and 2000s' appears the name 'Tori Spelling'. Tori's name appears with 24 other names in that category including; Pamela Anderson, Halle Berry, Paris Hilton & Dita Von Teese (Liza Shankar is in AfD). Tori's inclusion in this catorgory seems out of place. Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (& to be honest, I probably would anyway). Tori fits in with these iconic pin-up girls, like Dubya does with great political leaders. If Tori is to be included, then former 90210 colleagues, Shannen Doherty & Jennie Garth should also be included....before her. The point I'm trying make is that if Tori stays on that list, then the list should also include thousands of other moderately attractive, Z-list celebrities. Allison Hannigan, although not my cup of tea, is better qualified to be a pin-up, due to her cult following, of people whom actually place pictures of her on walls. If people really do put pictures of Tori on their walls, I'm sure they are rare & isolated cases. Headcases. If in doubt, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FHM#100_sexiest_women with ten years multiplied by 100 sexiest women. No mention of Ms Spelling. She just doesn't have the pulchritude.

This list is almost pathetic. Anyone who does a magizine spread is listed as a pin up. Bette Page is a Pin Up model. Janet Jackson? Tori Spelling? I don't think so.
[edit] Pin-up girl ratio
Should the pin-up girl BWH measurements be included in the article?
[edit] The bottom external link
Seems unnecessary to me.
[edit] Adding Hot Rod Surf to external Links
Adding Hot Rod Surf to the links they have a geat free pin up girl section on their sight with hot rods and pin ups as well a a great definition of the orgin. (Jmcrownpoint 11:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- 1) The link put in is the front page of the site, not directly relevent to pin up girls. 2) The pin-up sub page does have photos of a few gals-- but this is not supposed to be a comprehensive list of every site with a few photos of gals. Not an imformative addition to the article. 3) The majority of your contributions to Wikipedia seem to be to promote that particular site. Editing to help us build a better encyclopedia is welcome; spamming or trying to promote specific external sites is not. Reverting. -- Infrogmation 13:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The 1970s to the 2000s.
Is a COMPLETE JOKE. As a fan of classic pin-ups. The list from the 70s to the 2000s is completely false as most of those people will NEVER be pin-ups. Fix the list and learn the history before putting random names up there. -- 03:51, 8 August 2007 74.122.179.76
- Don't know why we can't include people such as Nastassja Kinski, Cheryl Tiegs, Bo Derek, and Farrah Fawcett, whose posters indisputably adorned many college dorm-room walls in the late 1970's / early 1980's... AnonMoos (talk) 11:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Betty Brosmer
Should be something on Betty Brosmer -- she was apparently kind of a "supermodel" in the 1950's, and as famous as many actresses... AnonMoos (talk) 11:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External link
Link to www.pinupwow.com removed: the site is commercial and the photos are not a good example of contemporary pin-up photography. Helvissa (talk) 12:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Contemporary Pin-Ups
What about including a section on contemporary vintage-style pin-ups? I'm working on a page about Bernie Dexter - what do you think? Helvissa (talk) 12:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WTF
It seem that 90% of the women listed aren't pin-up models. They're actors. I'm pretty sure there's a difference. 76.181.232.187 (talk) 14:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
