Glamorize Your Bank Checks with Pin-up Girls

By Alan Plastin

Nothing speaks glamour like the 1940's pin-up girls of Hollywood. If you want to bring a little bit of glamour to your personal bank checks, then you should definitely consider purchasing vintage-inspired pin-up girls on your checks. Not only are they great looking, but everyone will remember the checks that you write to them.

In the 1940's, WWII was raging, but Hollywood was alive and kicking. The pin-up girls of that era graced magazines, calendars, and even playing cards. They were beautiful, glamorous, and sexy. With perfect hair and makeup, gorgeous clothing, and secret smiles, they were more than just sex symbols-they were icons. Men wanted to be with them, and women wanted to be them.

Being a movie star during that time did not always mean that the woman was also going to be a pin-up girl. Actually, although the star might be beautiful, it took a little something extra for a woman to be a pin-up girl and to be desired. She also needed to have a glamorous air about her as well as something that distinguished her from other women. Images of pin-up girls were mass produced and had wide appeal and therefore there also needed to be something accessible about her as well.

Betty Grable was one of the earliest pin-up girls. Her poster was "pinned up" in lockers during the War. The Gibson girl, who was actually an illustration, was another popular pin-up girl. Other popular pin-up girls of the 1940s include Carmen Miranda, Jane Russell, Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, and Ava Gardner. Betty Page, in the 1950s, was one of the most popular pin-up girls of all time. In fact, merchandise containing her image can still be purchased today, despite the fact that many of her present-day fans were not alive during her heyday.

While there are still pin-up girls these days, some fans argue that these modern women lack the glamour and style of the women in the past. Although posters can be purchased with images of the majority of popular female movie and televisions stars and models, the Golden Age of the sexy sirens of the past is over.

If you would like your personal bank checks to have a little something extra then the pin-up girls checks and their vintage ambiance might be the checks for you. They come in 4 rotating images so each beautiful girl will be different from the one before her. Not only are these checks good looking, but they can say loads about your individuality and style.

If you buy your checks online from a site you can save as much as 50% off what your bank might charge you. You will also have a wide range to select from. You can anticipate receiving your checks in about 5 days. Don't forget to have your routing number and checking account number available when you place your order.
