Glamorize Your Bank Checks with Pin-up Girls

By Alan Plastin

Absolutely nothing says glamour like the pin-up girls of vintage Hollywood. If you would like to make your personal bank checks a little more glamorous, then you should really think about getting retro-inspired pin-up girls checks. Aside from the fact that they look great, your checks will definitely be remembered.

WWII was raging in the 1940's, but Hollywood was alive and well. The beautiful pin-up girls of that time period appeared on calendars, magazines, and playing cards. They were gorgeous, alluring, and sexy. With their perfect looks, beautiful clothing, and come-hither smiles, they were not jus sex symbols-they were stars. Men and women alike loved them.

It took something special to be a pin-up girl during that era. Being a successful and beautiful movie star didn't necessarily mean that you could also be a successful pin-up girl. Indeed, it took more than good looks and sex appeal to have your face plastered on playing cards and posters. A woman had to have an allure that set her apart from other women. She also had to appear to be accessible. One of the reasons that pin-up girls became so popular is due to the fact that their images had wide appeal and were mass-produced.

Betty Grable was a very popular pin-up girl in the 1940s, and one of the first. You could find her poster "pinned up" by soldiers in their lockers during the War. An illustration containing the image of an ideal woman, the Gibson girl, was another popular pin-up girl during that time period. Carmen Miranda, Jane Russell, Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, and Ava Gardner were also popular pin-up girls in the 1940s. One of the most popular pin-up girls of all time was Betty Page in the 1950s. Even though many of her present-day fans were not alive during her prime, merchandise containing her image is still being sold today.

Even though pin-up girls still exist today, an argument exists that they no longer contain the allure and style of the women of the past. Although posters can be obtained of most of the popular female movie and televisions stars and supermodels, the sexy sirens of the past are gone.

If you adore the 1940s and 1950s, then the pin-up girls checks and their classic feel might be a great idea for you and your bank checks. The checks come in 4 rotating images so each charming lady will be different from the one before her. Not just good looking are these checks, but they can also be creative ways to showcase your personality.

If you purchase your checks online from a site you can save as much as 50% off the cost that your local bank might have charged you. The Internet is a great place to purchase bank checks anyway because you have a wide assortment to choose from. You can expect to receive your checks in around 5 days. Just remember to have your routing number and checking account number on hand when you place your order.
