The right combination of exposure and imagination to fill in the gaps

The pin-up is one of the most alluring and enduring forms of art. The goal is to show just the right amount of flesh so that it excites the viewer and still conforms to the norms of the censors.

It is not hard to use your imagination to fill in the gaps, which is truly what a pin-up is supposed to do.
