**Implications** - The pinup girl was originated in the 1940s as the first form of mass-produced beauty photos made specifically for ogling. The style has since remained prevalent in [pop culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-and-cheetos), becoming a representation of all things sexy and womanly. The pinup girl has achieved what all other looks hope to: the ability to not only persist, but adapt throughout changing generations.
