PIN UP & Burlesque

Recently, in the entertainment industry, the PIN---AP and Burleske styles have become very popular.
For several decades, society was fed up with an abundance of genitals on screens and magazines, people wanted something new, more refined. These styles occupied their heights in modern culture, because everything new is well forgotten old.
So, let's try to figure out what kind of phenomena these are.
Let's start with a pin-up. PIN-up is a style of American drawing, popular in the 40s and 50s of the last century. The name of the style comes from the English verb pin up - pin (for example, to the wall). In those years, on the covers of magazines of various nature, images of incredibly beautiful and sexy girls began to print, the Life magazine became a pioneer in this matter. It was this publication that first posted on the cover a picture with a girl who was absolutely not related to the contents of the magazine itself. Such covers with beauties certainly came off and attached to the wall with ordinary Americans. An interesting fact-at first they took a photo of the girl, and then the illustrator artist made an illustration from the Pin-up photo.

The popularity of drawings of this nature was growing at a huge pace, so the girl’s pin-up quickly appeared on advertising posters (Coca-Cola, Palmolive), and Zippo lighter manufacturers went even further, releasing the lighters themselves with girls depicted on them.

Among the most famous artists Pin-Apa should be noted such names as Rolf Armstrong (he gave the girls Pin-AP the features of Hollywood actresses Betty Grabl and Rita Hayvort), Norman Rockvel (it is characterized by images of beauties in everyday life), Jel Elvgren (considered the best artist Pin-AP), Edward d'ancon, ell Laurent, Edward Ranchi - significantly liberated the girls in the pictures. You can not bypass the stars of Pin-APA of the fifties. Betty Page, a lady without complexes, who even attributed a connection with Marilyn Monroe, is still considered the very cult figure of this style. Betty Page made her special contribution not only to the printed industry, but also to cinema. Now films of specific content with her participation are available to everyone. Another iconic figure of Pin-Apa is Bannie Idger. Bunny decorated the pages of Movie Star magazine from 1955 to 1957. Her main professional know-how was the linen from the skin of the leopard. Then, as any fashionable phenomenon at the Pin---------up, a decline began, which lasted until the mid-80s of the 20th century. But even in those years, photographers Elmer Batters, Richard Kern and Eric Kroll created in this style.

In the 21st century, the Pin---AP style again excites the minds and imagination of people. Among the famous modern Pin-APA models, the American Bernie Dexter should be called. Many are striking in her resemblance to Betty Page. Hollywood stars of different sizes also loved to act in photo shoots in the Pin--------AP. The photographer Timati White even released an album with photographs of celebrities in this style.
Now it's time to go smoothly to Burlescu. Burleske, unlike Pin -APA - is not pictures, but a show. The Burlesca genre combines the elements of a cabaret, a musical and vaudeville. Initially, the word Burleske was a poetic genre, but then it became a definition of a specific type of show. Burleske is bright scenery and outfits, joking dialogs and dance numbers of an erotic nature. Such shows have become popular in America since the mid -19th century, and at the beginning of the 20th century, Burleske began to be more like a regular striptease. Dressing, the girls remained only in small panties and Pastis (decorative linings on the nipples), it should be noted that the undressing itself was performed with considerable acting. Of the stars of the burlesk of that time, it should be noted the Tempees Storm (the most adult strip gel in the world, to this day performs and lives in Las Vegas), Betty Page, Lily Saint Cyrus and Jeepsie Rosa Lee.

Nowadays, the Burlesque style, as well as Pin-up, has become incredibly popular. And all the same Hollywood and pop culture are engaged in its replication. In the USA (California), the Burlesque museum was even created. Throughout the world, festivals dedicated to this style are regularly held.
The brightest stars of the modern burlesk are Dita von Tiz, Immodesta Blaise, Gwendolin Lamur, Kitty Klo, Katerin de Excuse, Erochik Bambu, La Conteses, Lyalya Bezhetskaya.

Pop prinzes Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Pink and Britney Spears often choose the Burlesque style for their video. And Christina Aguilera, along with Cher, even starred in the main role of the film of the same name.
