Body Flow Series #38: Pin-up Vibes on a Spinning Pole

Hello my friends!

Here's a cute routine on a spinning pole with a very pin-up vibes. The song is But I am a Good Girl by Christina Aguilera.

I have always loved the pin-up style. They are very glamorous photos back in the 20th century which literally meant photos of modeals being "pinned-up" on a wall.

The song was from the movie Burlesque where Christina Aguilera also starred as the protagonist of the movie. In the early 19th century, pin-up modeling had origins in the theaters from burlesque performers that use posters to advertise their shows. Back then, the views on women were tied to their sexuality.

It's funny how society changed from way back in the 1800's when a glimpse of a woman's bare ankle could be considered scandalous. In the 1920s while the husbands are away at war, women tasted freedom from their domesticated life which brought the heightened sense of youthful rebellion. Women are more wild, and was more eager to show some skin. This was illustrated to how pin-up girls dress up with shorter skirts and more exposed shoulders and chest. In the 1940s, the world war made pin-up girls more popular as government tries to boost the morale of soldiers by showing them illustrations of their women waiting for them home. The pin-up photos of women were on the barracks, submarines and the soldier's pockets.

Fast forward to the 1950's when people realize that SEX SELLS. This was when the erotic tactics were extended to advertising, first actualized by Madison Avenue in the 1950s. This also inspired the birth of Playboy in 1953.
