A pin-up model (known as a pin-up girl for a female and less commonly male pin-up for a male) is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-up models may today be referred to as glamour models, fashion models, or actors. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, i.e. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall, the etymology of the phrase. These pictures are also sometimes known as cheesecake photos. Cheesecake was an American slang word, that was considered a publicly acceptable term for seminude women because pin-up was considered taboo in the early 20th century.
