== Pin-up in the contemporary age ==
Although pin-up modeling is associated with [[World War II]] and the 1950s, it developed into a subculture which can be seen represented in the styles of some celebrities and public figures. [[Pamela Anderson]] was considered the "perennial pin-up" due to decades' worth of modeling for [[Hugh Hefner]]'s ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kercher |first=Sophia |date=8 March 2016 |title=From Pinup to Muse: Pamela Anderson's Next Chapter |newspaper=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/10/fashion/from-pinup-to-muse-pamela-andersons-next-chapter.html |url-access=limited}}</ref> The American singer [[Lana Del Rey]], whose style is comparable to that of the classic pin-up model,{{Citation Needed|date=October 2024}} has performed a song called "Pin Up Galore".<ref>{{Cite AV media|title=Pin Up Galore (Live)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgYno78wUIE| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/jgYno78wUIE| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live|via=YouTube|date=24 April 2012}}{{cbignore}}</ref> [[Beyoncé]] has recorded a song titled "Why Don't You Love Me,"<ref>{{Cite AV media|title=Beyoncé - Why Don't You Love Me|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QczgvUDskk0| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/QczgvUDskk0| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live|via=YouTube|date=18 May 2010}}{{cbignore}}</ref> which pays tribute to the American pin-up queen of the 1950s, [[Bettie Page]].
