Welcome to my Retro Pinup Girl Calendar Lens!

Calendars with pinup girls were popular during the 1940s WWII era, the 1950s, and they are still popular today. This lens features both old and new cheesecake pinups that you can buy from eBay, CafePress, Amazon and other online stores. I hope you have fun looking at all these beautiful cheesecake calendars reminiscent of the forties and fifties. The artwork on the calendars here includes both paintings, drawings and photographs; and this type of art is often referred to as pinups, pin-ups, pinup girls, pin-up girls and cheesecake calendars. There are dozens of nostalgic calendars featured here, so I organized them into categories such as blondes, brunettes, redheads and by artist and other categories. To easily come back to this lens and see what I have added, you can bookmark it by pressing Ctrl D.

My most popular lens is:

  • Vintage Aprons: Nostalgic aprons & fabrics, books, sewing patterns & gifts.

Enjoy!

Elvgren Girls II (Artist Archives)

First Sentence Inside Book:
THE PIN-UPS in this book are the early, seminal work of an artist whose images were a familiar part of the American landscape from World War Two until the early 1970s.

San Francisco Examiner Magazine, March 2000:
".... Less dehumanizing and more romantic in its fanciful reveries, pin-up art maintained a sense of innocence..."

Jeepers Peepers!: A Gallery of American Pin-up Art (Graphic Art)

Book Description:
Careful planning, camaraderie, reliable weapons - these were the WWII GI's necessities. Pinups provided a different kind of support, mentally transporting American soldiers from the perilous front lines into the accommodating arms of gorgeous, nude, or barely clothed women. Featuring art by such legendary pinup masters as Gil Elvgren, Billy DeVorss, Rolf Armstrong, and Zoe Mozert, this colorful collection commemorates the strange blend of innocence and erotica that characterized the 1940s pinup. Louis K. Meisel has gathered over 300 of the era's most striking images, arranged into six different themes from Nudes to Swimsuit and Seaside to Indian Maidens, Pirates, and Gypsies. Meisel's introduction expertly examines the idealized settings and dreamy drawings of a uniquely American icon.

Calendar Girl: Sweet & Sexy Pin-Ups of the Postwar Era

From Publishers Weekly:
Collins's vintage collection of sexy calendar girls takes kitsch to a new level. There's something at once innocent and provocative about these images, which Collins (who's written over 20 books for Collectors Press, including Elvgren: His Life & Art) organizes by month. The author opts not to comment on the photographs' sexist undertones, instead focusing on their artistic elements and the artists who created them. He assembles calendar photos from 1943 to 1957, showcasing the women who "paved the way for Hugh Hefner's Playmates" in outfits that range from the amusing (e.g., the March 1954 image of a woman dressed as a genie coming out of a bottle) to the scandalous (e.g., the August 1953 picture of a topless blonde drying her hair on the beach). Captions such as "When it's chilly out doors/At the end of the day/It's nice to come/To a warm negligee!" add further to the risque brashness.
