Today, another theme unfolds in GlobalGrind’s Gear Of The Day. We’re paying homage to the historic style of the pin-up girl. The sultry pin-up genre has been emulated in the form of art, and through curvaceous models who would stand to become sex symbols. Nowadays we still see pin-up styles, and fashions from that era, in celebs like Katy Perry, Eva Green, and Dita Von Teese. This style is like the Energizer Bunny of fashion, it keeps going, and going, and coming back. So take a gander at the gear we found to help you become the next Marilyn Monroe.
