The Modern Day Pinup and The Art of Discretion

One thing that has definitely changed from the 1940s and 50s is communication. Right now there's not only the telephone, there's texting and social media. But my question is how would a pinup girl handle all this and still be discreet?

Back in the day women left a lot more to the imagination. Look at Rita Hayworth in the film noir Gilda. All she did was remove one glove and men swooned. In today's society some women aren't removing one glove. At times nothing is left to the imagination; you know where certain people are at any given moment.

So, what's a Modern Day Pinup to do?

I decided to reveal what I wanted to, nothing more and nothing less. There's no law that says I have to post my whereabouts everyday. That's under my creative control! Since The Golden Age women have gained more control over their lives and their choices. If I want to reveal that I have a photo shoot, great. If I decide not to post the pictures from that photo shoot, that's wonderful too.

Everything isn't for everyone to see. There are certain things that I would only let a few people see, not 800 of my closest friends. And since we're in this age of oversharing that might make me part of the minority (yet again), but it's perfectly natural to be yourself.

That's my favorite part of being a pinup. There's a certain way a pinup carries herself, a certain style of clothing she wears. There's art in her makeup and a come hither look in her eyes. A pinup has a look of innocence and is very wily all at the same. Just don't expect her to tell you what she has in store for you.
