Pin-up Extra | news and glamour from The Pin-up Files

Vintage lingerie

Our collection of vintage Sears catalogues provide a fascinating glimpse into everyday Americana of the 1950s. This scan from the 1950 spring edition shows more seriously enticing ways of keeping that pin-up girl figure, and the price is very reasonable! The Pin-up Files is hoping Santa will be bringing us more 1950s Sears catalogues this Christmas.

On a personal note, my girlfriend has made me promise to buy a collection of girdles retrospectively from this catalogue and have them shipped forward in time...

Andrea Young pinup artist

We are delighted to announce that the Andrea Young gallery at the The Pin-up Files has just gone live!

...when asked what motivates her for new pieces, Andrea responds with simplicity: "Unique and confident women, tattoo artists, nature, and the human form."
